The 'E' Type Forum

I’ve also done this job on my S3 many times & have a collection of modified 1/2 inch spanners like Bill. Recently I found an old bicycle spanner that works well for the bottom row of nuts. After years of working on a Mini Cooper the access to the e type is fabulous. https://i.postimg.cc/rFZFT7cN/IMG...

I agree Andrew, I bought some “eyebrows” for the A30 from India. Very good quality.

Hello Marcus, I've attached some photos of the set up in my 72 S3 2+2 for reference. It appears to be original. As far as rego in QLD send me your details, I may be able help having recently been down this path with a US import S3... https://i.postimg.cc/GpFkD1Y7/IMG-0190.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Dy...

Welcome Marcus,
Enjoy your S3, they are a great car.

Hello Chris, we too are looking forward to the 2022 Revival, once we navigate the international travel. Our last visit was in 2019 pre-c…I hope the weather is kind.

Thanks Andrew,
Yes I get it…Still raining, windy & cold in sunny Queensland. It’s a long time since we’ve had a proper winter. Luckily it only lasts two weeks..

Hello Bryan,
If you are referring to the seal in the photo below. It's a 2+2 door but process should be same. I started at the top corner & fed the rubber into the channel using some CRC silicone spray as lube to slide the rubber along.

Hi Colin,
I'm not sure if this helps, here's a photo of my rear seat & carpet which i believe are original & cinnamon. The carpet has faded due to it's previous life in AZ.

The Hardura as shown in Colin's pic is supposed to be there - However early in my ownership I removed it as any water finding its way into the boot area drains out there and with the Hardura in place moisture accumulates under it and rusts the floor. Ain't that the truth...under the tank. https://i...

Do these help. Before & after.

Information found. Problem solved. Thanks

Hello All, Could anyone give me lenght of the spacer tube C32734 (item 14) for the bottom mount of a series 3 e type alternator bracket please. This tube passes over a 7/16" x 3 1/4" bolt to fasten the alternator bracket to the block. Unfortunately they are NLA from the usuals, but I'm happy to turn...

I think a .pdf file in the knowledge base is an excellent idea.

Hello Bill, get yourself a copy of the wiring diagram from the Technical Help section & a multimeter. There are no relays in this circuit, just a fuse & the park light rocker switch. I have repaired / cleaned the rocker switches in my car to improve performance. They can be tricky to remove from the...

I don't want to hijack the thread. In response to Nick, one of my cars, the mini, was used in a government ad promoting E10. The advertising company put out a call to local car clubs for "talent". My mini was chosen. Half a day on set with a good payment for 4 seconds of screen time...Watch closely....

G'day Paul.
Looks like a whole lotta fun there. Good luck...

I should have added that there maybe an initial turn on spike but your setup should be fine.

Hello Mark,
I've attached some photos of my findings using the fans recommended by Coolcat (Audi/VW). The current was measured using a Fluke meter & is for one fan.
