Aye no doubt there. To be fair the S3 was out and out off roader. Not great on the road at all. The Disco 3 was on standard road tyres and the owner was just having a little fun with it. So suppose to be fair it wasn't really a true reflection of the Disco's off road ability.........

If it just a small leak, drain the swivel out and fill it with one shot. End of trouble. I done this on my S3. Although it's undergoing a major refit and tidy up. I have it done and nothing on the garage floor now..........:clap2:

lol...... Not too sure bout the tyres Davec. An the S3 driver was about 3 times the time, although all in all he got there in the end. The Disco didn't..... Hare and the tortoise....:mooning:

Not sure who would win in the Disco-Rangie fight but I know I seen a series 3 out preform a Disco 3 in an off road quarry drive not long ago. Too many buttons and gadgets for my liking in this new modern c**p...... Gimme the levers and a proper gear lever instead of this buttons an trip...

Thanks nongrokal, will i find this on top of the solinoid between the two cables that got to the battery and to the starter, there is a small button type of thing although it's hard plastic.

Not as far as I know Dave. Although at some point it had a gas conversion done. All the hardware bar the tank was there when I bought it. It's not the origional engine in it. I know this cos all the MOD vehicles have an odd green colour on the engine and ancillaries. Far as I can see it's always...

Cheers lads for the help. Got 3 of the discs downloaded. One of the downloads came with acrobat reader 4 which is a lot older than anyone is using I'm sure. I installed acrobat 4 and was able to access all the data I needed. So I have them here on disc now for future reference. Thanks for the...

Thanks for all the replys. There is a lot of very helpful information contained in there. After reading the haynes manual I discovered it was a white wire running off No.8 fuse that went to the coil. Trouble is that when I open the fuse box up nearly all the wires in there were black. I then ran...

At some point in my S3's life it has had a hard knock on the front end of the nearside Chassis Section. The front spring hanger is sitting around 20mm lower on the near side than the off side. This didn't concern me until I was underneath and found a kink in the chassis where it has now started...

Tried saving it to disc but that didn't work either. My files are in pdf format, have i downloaded the wrong thing?

ok no problem, I'll save it onto a disc an retry it.

Anyone know where I can get a download of Rave. I downloaded it from a site but adobe can't open it. Says I need a third party plugin to open it.

I posted the pic of this side cos the other side isn't fitted yet as I have limited space. Thought I had given a reasonable description of it but there you are obvisously not. Sorry to wake you all.

Especially for Redhand............ The other side is exactly the same only the front window is square and not a full length as this side is..........

Hi all, I'm looking a little advice on a hard top I got with my S3 109. When I bought it there was a truck cab fitted and the truck came with a full length hard top. Now I have been told this hard top is not quite a normal hard top, it has 2 long windows down the near side of the truck both the...

Hi all, still working through the maze of problems on my S3. On the bulkhead of my S3 I have a ballist resister. This has been wired directly to the battery bypassing the key. I have been looking around the engine bay for a live feed from the key. Does anyone know what colour the wire is I'm...

So does that mean if you convert a 7 seater with air suspension to coils its illegal?

Right as if thats not enough I have another problem. No fuel :mad: Took the feed pipe off the side of the carb and got the wife to turn the engine over, Nothing :mad: Pumped the hand prime lever on the side of the pump and just got a load of puffing and slurping, no fuel. The inspection bowl is...

According to the manual thats what it is. On the inside of the body between the carb and the rocker cover. Wee white wire leading off it.

Hi all really need help here. I am trying to get my series 3 going, my main problem is I'm trying to work my way through Mr botch it's work. Does anyone know where the wire from the fuel shut off valve on the side of the zenith 361 carb is supposed to go. Is it a 12v positive feed or where does...
