    S3 Diesel glow plug wiring

    Also, if they're being fed off the ignition switch and they ARE parallel... wire in a separate push switch fed from a properly fused input to activate the plugs, as the current draw will soon eat the switch / wiring due to a higher load......

    Down days are ****ters >:/ If your wanting air tools you'll need a compressor with high CFM and a decent sized receiver that'll cope with a long discharge. Impat gun, HVLP gun, degreaser, air chisel the list of stuff goes on :D Have a look on MachineMArt or Screwfix.... it's not really worth it...

    light/spot light problem

    A few things. Negative or positive earth system ? if it's positive earth, you've probably melted the switch internals. Consider the info below.... Standard 55w spot x2 pull appx 10 amps. 55Wx2 = 110W 110W/13.7V = 8A (rounded) Now consider that you've just plonked 4 55w spots on the same (...

    Quick update as i'm home witht the sniffles - Man flu methinks. All the clutch bits are ordered and a few other bits. While I was in the engine compartment, looking at the injector pump i thought i'd tinker with the timing in more detail.....opened the inspection cover to find........NOTHING...

    Started Resto work on my S3

    I was surprised at how evenly the roller method covered TBH. Works really well and the odd patchy bit can be cured by just laying off with a Synth brush afterwards.

    Footwells

    Roofing screws ??? FFS - bloody people. Are they in the same position as the original holes, or just shoved in haphazardly ? The stuck one you could probs back it in and out a few times to free off all the crud, and it should slowly break free, but the roofing screw ones, if they're borked and...

    Ah, the female condition :D I'd probs point her in the direction of a Defender TBH - on account as the series are, well...very basic.

    For 2.2 you should be able to get a series in good condition, with relative ease, but what are you/is she looking for ? Series landies are a lot of work to keep going generally, and need lots of love, time, and money to keep in tip-top shape and running nicely...... a good idea is to read some...

    Footwells

    Which ones are fooked fella ? If it's in the A pillar it's the same as the pass side, 4 bolts in spire clips, a fistful of bolts/nuts in the inner wing, and a few into the front panel. Don't forget the mudguard panel up top if it exists and the steeringbox cover, too.....

    My Series 2a Restoration (Attempt!)

    Ooooooo - good find on the tyres. Jared Want. :D Rancho shockers - pretty much the same as Procomps. They don't look too healthy from yer piccy though ? Relay looks like it's wired for some spots from that pic ? At least theres some sensible crimps on there for once. I found one on a truck I...
