I swapped my solex carb for a weber carb its A weber ICH and is brilliant. Very good from low revs and better on fuel than anything else I have tried. Iceing has never been a problem and I live at 900 feet in Yorkshire. Leave the oil bath filter on it and it works fine. I had bought it before...

My heater is not great so im having a couple of 12v charge points added and a small electric ceramic fan fitted. Plus point is it works from cold and is directional and I can charge my phone which i use as a sat nav and speedometer.

This sounds like the route im going to take. Much more useable.

Great advice

This is great. Lots of good advice. Im running a 88" Petrol on a new weber and electronic ignition, my engine runs sweet, so I might go for the 3.54 disco option. What i would like is to be able to cruise at 60mph at lower revs and better economy. Am I being realistic?

Ok Im baffled already. I just want a quiet diff and a little more speed.

Ok my current problem is a noisey diff on an A reg Series three which I am told is 24 spline because of the age. Do I just change the rear Diff with the iddentical item or Do I change the diffs for a different ratio diff to increase my top speed and fix my noisey problem. Question is If my...

I have tried Insa tyres 3 times. The first set were Rangers and were great in snow (best ever) then I swopped landys and ended up with a set of mountains which were slightly worse in snow although still acceptable and better on the road. Yesterday I bought a set of Dakars and they seem fine on...

I ended up fitting 5x 205 80 16 Insa Turbo Dakars. Gearing is back to normal and steering much lighter and speedo is back to accurate. Very pleased

Does anyone know if its possible to fit 195 80 16 tyres onto Lwb rims and what effect this will have on the gearing of a Swb s3 petrol. Im on my 7th series 3 and have tried alsorts of tyres and wheel combo's from tall 235 85 16's ( great in snow ) to some 205 70 15 inchers. Im thinking that a...

88bhp

I'm on my 5th series 3. All but one of them was a 2 1/4 diesel. I love the engine, it's simple and reliable. Yes it's underpowered in modern traffic but it will run and run with little maintainence. I love the smoke from a cold start and the uneven running. I hate the idea it's 2k to buy a fully...

I did a video on youtube about this just search Curveking on youtube or Curveking red yellow

I can get my series 3 anywhere a disco can go. The rougher the better. £1000 upwards but £2000 and you start getting something solid. Parts are cheap and insurance from £90 a year, although fuel economy is not great 18mpg for petrol and 22 for diesel (diesels are very slow but run great in big...

Try a series 3. They are cheap on eBay and you normally get your money back. I'm on my 5th and have never lost a penny.

I am on my third series 3 in 12 months. I get them running right and looking presentable and then sell them on. I use one everyday for everything from going to work to trips to the tip. Up to now I have not made much profit or loss even though I have spent money on them all. It seems that if...

HELP !! Ok I have a series 3 with a 200 TDi connected to a Series Gearbox. All of a sudden 2nd has become hard to find and now needs holding in gear (2nd only). I have read loads and there seems to be conflicting information online regarding what the problem could be. Anyway if you have a...

I have a 200 tdi fitted in my series 3. The engine is great but my 2nd gear has just become very hard to find. I dont think its related to the extra power or torque though. Does anyone have any ideas ?
