2 stupid questions on my S3:

I dont appear to have a hazard warning switch - I guess this is normal? If so is there a general fix/ mod?

My doors dont align to the rest of the body, seem to sag a bit, can they be adjusted......

They don't have Hazard Warning lights. I suppose you could fit them as aftermarket.

Doors don't fit - Yep.

You will need to source the switch but they do come up on ebay..... are you fitting hazards cos you think you might break down?

Listen, Im still learning what things like the letter E means on the fuel guage - in my other cars, E = 40 miles left. It appears in the Rover, E = well, empty - how novel. Twice now Ive had this lesson and yearned for hazards. So yes, and thats not accounting for actual, real breakdowns...

Lucky bugger - E on mine means F*** all!

1/2 means empty - somewhere off the top of the scale is full

Hiya Newby from Newbury, if you go to a breakers yard you can pick up a switch for pence. If your doors are very badly fitting then there is a possibility the bulkhead has been removed and repaired off the vehicle, causing a certain loss of true. There is a bit of adjustment according to the Haynes restoration manual, by loosening the locktab on the hinge nut and increasing/decreasing the load on the spring. Locktabs frequently break but will be cheap to replace. I would suggest the purchase of a Haynes manual. Good luck with the S3 and we allways appreciate photos on here, well, I do anyway.

Only carry diesel in a can as a spare, a petrol can is a bomb which will explode in the right circumstances, ie. accident.

The advice regarding the door hinge may only be on S1.
