    Series 3 Mobile phone holder suggestions

    I'm inclined to say that webpage is misleading and/or poorly worded. The MOT inspection manual would be my go-to (and is when I'm doing an MOT inspection). Regardless, I've got two mirrors.

    Nope, one mirror in any position.

    Series 3 Mobile phone holder suggestions

    Depends what you class as missing... there hasn't been one there in my ownership, and only one mirror is needed in my case.

    Series 3 Mobile phone holder suggestions

    As above, RAM ball mount bolted to the top of the windscreen frame, with a RAM arm mount to grip the phone. Doesn't move at all, vibrates a bit at idle but once moving it's perfectly still. Easily viewable without being in the way of anything.

    hard top with/without soft top option

    No more than it would leave anyway.

    Where to position a relay box

    Cheaper and easier than finding the right brackets for the pedal mounted switch, and tidier wiring.

    Where to position a relay box

    This is how I did mine. Small fuse box on the bulkhead, glowplug and ignition relays (black) on the bulkhead, additional relays for fan, headlights, horn, etc on the inner mud shield.

    Series 3 Fuel priming problems

    Sorry to hear you're having snags! The fuel lines were DIY using eBay fuel safe clear hose and taking the barbed unions from the old black lines and reusing them. Easy enough to do and 2 years or so on they're still absolutely fine with no signs of cracking. Edit: 3 years apparently! How time...

    Windscreen hinge pivot bolts

    I had a similar issued with a new bulkhead that didn't come threaded. You can buy coupling nuts, or threaded inserts that fit into the bulkhead and accept the thread from the bolt. I bought some that had the same OD as the bulkhead and welded them in place.

    Wanted Sorted: 2.25 or 2.5 N/A diesel engine

    Norfolk, but travel all over for work. So anywhere between not Norfolk, Devon, Dorset or Hampshire is workable for me. But not scared of travelling for the right engine.

    Series 3 diesel knock

    Slackened them one at a time rather than all together? It should still run, albeit not well, with only one injector slackened at a time.

    Anyone have information about how Series 3s perform in accidents? Any documented history?

    No doubt the ladder chassis is superior for any front or rear impact but I wouldn't want to be t-boned by any size car whilst sitting in my S3. The chassis rails aren't going to do anything and the outriggers will likely just pierce a radiator.

    Wanted Sorted: 2.25 or 2.5 N/A diesel engine

    Morning all, Does anyone have a 2.25 or 2.5 na engine they're wanting to get rid of? I'm looking to rebuild one on the bench before swapping out my tried 2.25 diesel in the Series 3. Will be getting fully stripped but ideally something that hasn't got any massive issues.

    replacement battery size

    Something like this for holding the battery down is ideal. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181567182593?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gt2bXHAaQNG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=U2nMiYq4Rv-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Yes it would, even though it's not a mandatory mirror.
