    Replacement (back friendly) seats for S3

    Taggy, Thanks for that. Sound a bit "luxury", think I probably need something that I can order on-line, and doesn't mind the dog standing on it, occasionaly :-). Cheers, Chris.

    Replacement (back friendly) seats for S3

    Hi, I am about to buy a S3. It has standard seats. My partner has a bad back, and would prefer to have a better seat on the passenger side. As I need to replace one, I may as well do the driver's side, too. Can anybody suggest a good replacement seat, that is supportive of a bad back. I...

    Tax exempt S3 SWB for sale

    Hi, Did that. I was after a Series 3, which narrows it down to two years of production, I think. I just sold my 2a. Thanks, Chris.

    Petrol S2a fuel, and insurance advice, Hiclone.

    Hmmm, £450 to get the head done. I think this will do as an interim measure.

    Petrol S2a fuel, and insurance advice, Hiclone.

    So, all of you out there with petrol engines, do you use Lead replacement stuff? I need to know what I have to do. Is this the best way forward? Thanks, Chris.

    Petrol S2a fuel, and insurance advice, Hiclone.

    Hi, So I don't just put whatever type of Redex into the fuel tank? Anybody know how much it costs to convert the cylinder head (?) to unleaded? Thanks, Chris.

    Petrol S2a fuel, and insurance advice, Hiclone.

    Bani, Thanks for that. Can I just use normal unkleaded, then? The engine hasn't been modified. Thanks, Chris.

    Petrol S2a fuel, and insurance advice, Hiclone.

    Hi, I'm just about to take delivery of a 1970 S2a (2.25 petrol). The current owner puts Redex in it occasionally. Is this necessary, and what does it do? What sort of fuel is best? The landy is a 1970 model, and I want to sort the insurance. Can anybody recommend a favourite insurer? It...

    Series 2a or 3?

    Good advice. Most of my journeys will be under half an hour, and i'm attracted by the "tax exempt" aspect :-). Thanks, Chris.

    Series 2a or 3?

    2nd.

    Series 2a or 3?

    Thanks. Intended use: green laning at most, but mostly road work.

    Series 2a or 3?

    Thanks, this is the sort of "feeling" that I appreciate hearing. I think I share your thoughts, 2a's look great, but 3's may be more "usable". Chris.

    Series 2a or 3?

    ormus, Thanks for that. I think the decider will be what is available at the time. It's just that I hear so much about 2a's, and 3's seem to get little mention. I wondered whether SWB 3's are the Austin Allegro of the Landy world. No offence to Allegro owners :-). Thanks for your help. Chris.
