Geezer!! Yes I am already on the British eccentric list for them .. I mean who else would drive such a thing And .. Yes i do have a Cockney Swiss German accent just to add to effect

Welcome to Switzerland where this at the discretion of the tester, He was suspicious anyway if the new carb had increased the BHP beyond the 15% allowed and although his test drive confirmed that (for Him) there was no discernable increase in power The sound of sucking air through the K&N ( so...

No they won't accept any kind of DIY.. Swiss precision and all that ya know ...

No Toblerone is nothing special here ... I have bought the elbow adapter from HNJ Engineering I have ordered a Diesel air intake pipe as its long enough to reach from the oil bath All i have to do now is pray ...

Yes I thought of using an adapter from a V8 however by the time I get one from the UK and then try and make a fitting it might well be easier to get the 90° bend from HNJ and use an air intake pipe from a diesel as they are long enough..

**!!!**!!!**!*!*!*!*!* and other German words of desperation ! Long story short, I fitted an SU carb (the kit from ACR) the SIII runs like a dream... However the Swiss MOT tester failed me on NOISE Emissions!! not liking the K&N air filter .. and now I have to find a way of fitting the original...

I had this .. drill out and replace with a nut and bolt ... job done

Yes do the boomslang conversion, I have replaced three headlight switches in two years and narrowly avoided a fire. It took me the best part of a morning to fit the Boomslang loom, I can post photos if it helps.

A serious improvement - 60kmh up my hill in 4th .. before i was down to 2nd and 3rd and struggling 35kmh

Help how do i get a video into here?

Well almost ... the exhaust pipe is currently being help at Swiss customs but the manifold and the carb and the rest bits n bobs are here. So my weekend project is to get this done. I will take a bunch of photos of the progress and probly make a short video for you guys should anyone else be...

Thanks for that, so I see he has used a length of threaded rod, could you show me how the connection is to the carb lever is done. Simon

Yes please if you could, so far i have not been able to find actual photos of it (the link rod in position and the bracket with the spring)

Remora, I am just about to do this ( the powerplus SU) on my series 3, can you show or tell me how you did the throtle pedal link? the instructions from ACR are not exactly clear for me. Simon

TaDa! done it ... but bloody El it was a bit a thing ... Being a lefty n all that .. however here is what I had to do. Remove the older H4 connectors and withdraw the wiring from the headlamp bowls. Remove all of the connectors on the new loom, because the plastic pipe covering the new wiring...

Have you fitted one? can you explain in a bit more detail.. extending on which end? I also have H4 conversion sets on the way. Simon

No i guess such things were not considered by the Swiss Firebrigade and as the lights were only used maybe once a week or less ... no no relays in sight ... Simon

Long story .. short .. Whilst taking part in the Swiss semi finals for off road navigation, Gwydion ( my son - Navigator) and I got the final stage where upon there was a smell of melting plastic and hotness ... strange .. crossed the finishing line in 3rd place ( awesome makes us 4th in the...
