Also agree. Reg number suggests 1982 so late S3. Looks good! Perhaps it had a V8 in which was subsequently removed?

Harry moved under his own steam for the first time in 4 year today :) We drove all of 3 feet. I replaced the leaking rear brake cylinder with a Delphi replacement and bleed both rears again; that all went to plan. One thing that did crop up is that the new Delphi Cylinder is a smaller bore than...

Couldn't have put it better myself :D:D

OP, my coil gets hot just with the ignition on so I would say that's relatively normal. @Extreedoc good work on the advice. Having been in similar positions to the OP before I know it can be both confusing and frustrating even with help.

Thanks for keeping us updated. :)

Hi Ed, yeah if you could hold on that would be very kind. It would be good to catch up with a local landyzoner at any rate. :)

If it's supposed to light up on ignition as a test, mine doesn't work work. I'll try the bulb first. Edit - Thanks for explaining that John. I think I have a circuit diagram somewhere I'll try and post up, with your explanation of the wiring that would be pretty useful in the future

All painted rockers I've seen look rubbish, I'd go for some sort of machined/manual finish as James says.

Interested, but funds wont allow this month. I'm not far from Gatwick. EDIT: You wouldn't trade for some ratchets would you, brand new...lifetime warranty.... :D:D;)

I don't think that's right John, at least it's not what I have, and I have a 'dual line' set up. The Master Cylinder should have 2 lines coming out of it, both going into that chunck of metal the OP has pictured, that is the Brake Bias Valve. From there, one line goes to the front (and...

It attaches to the brake bias valve if you have dual line brakes. The valve is located in the front drivers wing.:) The wires head off to the centre console Brake check warning light.

I've noticed that CLR have just started branching into the older 90's and 110's too, not a problem for me as they haven't gone down the bolt-on bits/diamond stitched interior route. I did wonder not so long ago about how much there is to write about in classic before repeating articles or...

Mine is 82 and has exactly the same centre arrangement in the dash above the radio, same fog light pull switch and mine had reverse lights pulled in here to. I also have the 2 lights but don't know what they are for. The brake light is a tester for the dual line brake set up. I understand there...

I get the impression petrol engines are getting expensive these days, is this true?? (Off to look on eBay...) Edit: oh dear, one blokes got 3 and he wants 850 quid each :(

I've been a CLR subscriber from the off. Really enjoy it. I was sick of all the expensive bolt on bollocks endlessly whored in LRO etc. They are more adverts that content and not relevant for my interests.

Thanks for the info. :)

Would this type of upgrade from the original sealed beam units of a series 3 require the insurance company to be informed?? Cheers.

That thought had crossed my mind, lol.

82 ;)
