I have been sent a link by a member on another forum Im on which shows a sort of fold out hammock so I may have a go making one of them first before anything else http://cambrianadventures.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/sleeping-quarters.html#comment-form[url Looks quite tidy. I wont be doing...

Read the attachment - 2.25 engine and no pop up roof As stated above bulkhead removal bars have been around for donkeys years and 5 door 109s dont even have a bulkhead. Plus its no where near original anyway and frankly I dont care... The 88" mini carawagon didnt even have a bulkhead bar...

Been looking around recently for ideas to make my 88" more suitable for going on camping trips and the like and came across the searle safari campers and the mini carawagon. The mini carawagon is great however it only seats 4 due to one side being taken up with a kitchen cabinet. The Searle...

What's the bush in the chassis like?

Forgot to take pics of the battery tray sorry, only remembered when i looked back at thread a minute ago

Got my bumper in the post from Paddocks on Saturday and fitted it loosely. The bumper bolts I got from them are M8s and seem much too small for the holes so i will be swapping them for M10s. Then I fitted my ABS wing skin to the drivers wing and test ftted it to see how it fitted against the...

My battery tray has the four legs however it has been moved forward. I didnt do the conversion though, my granddad did when he had it. The master cylinder on mine is the one for the servo, single line. Mine was originally non servo so had to get a servo cylinder for it. Will get some pics for...

Got all the lights working on the passenger side and the bulkheads getting there now. Ordered a new ABS drivers side wing panel (saves time fitting it over knocking the numerous dents out the other one). Also ordered a bumper so once the door and drivers wing is back on i can fit my capstan winch!

Not a 24V ex Army jobby is it?

More progress tonight. I began sorting out the drivers side wing whilst my Dad tacked the bulkhead repair piece in place. More shots of the passenger wing showing the painted side as well as the electric fan fitted and new sidelight/ indicator assemblies Wing skin off The dent that need...

Picture time! [/URL ] [/URL ] [/URL ]

Got the wing skin bolted up properly tonight with M6 stainless bolts. Then decided to carry out a dry fit before painting the engine bay side of the wing. Basically it went so well I pianted it in situ. I've decided to sort the dents whilst its on the vehicle. Yes it will be more awkward...

My 2.5 diesel cost £300 for me to rebuild with genuine bearings, rings seals and gaskets. (Obviously not including injection pump). Petrol should be similar. Even if you swap the engine it'll be worth stripping yours to see what the actual fault was. How did they get it started in the end anyway?

Reason being because the plastic one was broken and the metal one wont flap around so much. Also I just prefer it to be honest, the rest of the vehicles no where near original anyway and i wont sell it so it just keep s me happy haha, thers enough s3s on the road to allow mine to be different

2.5 N/A diesel with standard gearbox is good in a series. Faster than an early 90 (even though that has 5 speed box), pretty economical, I get over 300 miles to a tank in mine with roofrack and spots fitted and loaded up with tools/ spares constantly. Also still have some of the series character...

Complaining about series steering being light... now theres a first! to be honest i find my series light to steer at speed but just got used to it. What 2ltr engine is it by the way? The original series 2 type?

Pics! Eventually got photobucket to work Radiator re-fitted Then fitted the electric fan and carried out a trial fit of the emergency barbecue... erm I mean Rocky mountain maltese cross grill This pic shows the new stainless J-clips and bolts used to hold the wings on. Yes the bulkhead...

Try going from a bottle of brand new fresh petrol gravity fed into the carb

Mines got a 96AH Commercial vehicle battery in it

would be useless round here, even petrol stations are few and far between I like the technology though but would never swap my old series 3 for an "economical" vehicle
