Hi Is there any difference in real life use between S3 109 diesel and petrol senders? The petrol one (623097) is currently outof stock, whereas the diesel one (623098) is in stock. Its just a pick up pipe and a float so cant see that much difference? Ta Mike

Thanks for all of the above, I've learned more than I thought existed about hacksaws in the last few minutes reading this! Mike (Off to count teeth ?)

A hahahaha that just made me snort my drink all over my laptop!

That kind of money buys in a couple of crate engines and boxes from the U.S.!

I have the Sykes pickavant one too, it's really good and worth the money imho Mike

May I suggest on behalf of Nige and Jeff that the mugs are made of something non-conductive ?

Please can everyone keep an eye out for these bits surfacing anywhere http://www.north-wales.police.uk/news-and-appeals/appeal-mountain-rescue-vehicles-damaged.aspx Absolutely disgusting, it's despicable to do this to anyone's care but especially a charity who rely on their vehicles ? Mike

FFS I was dreading as much, eBay it is then! Ta Mike

Hi SWMBO has just managed to reverse my car into her RRS, the OS headlight lens is cracked and now has a large hole in it, can I get a lens from somewhere or is it a case of replacing the whole unit Grrrr! Mike

Thanks everyone, I suspect Mr Lovejoy is completely the wrong end of the country, it does need to be 'official' I'm afraid, will try land craft and see what they think Thanks Mike

Hi Are there any instructors on here based in the North West who would be willing to do some training for our Search & Rescue team? We are a 100% volunteer team and funded entirely by charity, we use 2 elderly converted 110s and are currently saving up to replace them with 2 new ones. www.cheshire-sarteam.org If you're interested and would like to help us out can you PM me? Thanks Mike

Wire brush in a grinder may work?

I saw one where the holder had "Yes I have paid my Road Tax, now why don't you go and catch an actual criminal?" In small letters round the outside! Made me laugh!

Yet another bespoke prater.... You'd think someone would have had a word by now

Crikey it's not worth buying in the steel at that price! I'll give them a ring tomorrow

That looks good, do you mind me asking how much it was? Mike

So by using the new pump body with the old top and new diaphragm, the old glass bowl with a new seal and a new pipe to join tank to line and.... It fired up first go and I took it for a very short drive for the first time in 5 years! Thanks for all your help Mike

Hello Could someone who has a military roll hoop ( the one that mounts to the capping) be a love and measure it up for me? I'd like to copy it so all the dimensions and some close up photos of the mounting brackets would be really helpful! Thanks Mike

It turned out very nicely, he found a few holes I'd missed, don't have any photos I'm afraid, The chap who did mine painted it in weld through primer for me so it's still looking good now about 5 yrs later Mike

Beware of your balls! I had to replace mine as despite asking nicely twice they got basted too!

As above You need a body cross member, the front tub support mounts, side frames (s3 ones fit and are available new but approx £180 a side) britcar sell the genuine rear seat belt mount kit but it's expensive for what it is! I converted my HT to a SW and it is all nuts and bolts but reassuringly expensive! Mike

It's brand new fitted yesterday, sedimenter is crystal clear, surely it can't be full of bits already? Bloody thing! I'll take the top off it and see, I'm seriously tempted to fix it with matches if I ever see any petrol lol!

Hi Does the S3 petrol have a non return valve in the fuel line? I'm having trouble starting, spent hours pumping the priming lever yesterday and managed to finally get a dribble of fuel up to the carb, it's a brand new pump with a good suction if you put a finger over the inlet, I checked for leaks and it all looks good, Anyway I went back to it today and it was bone dry again, surely it shouldn't have all leaked back to the tank? Any ideas? I'm going to take the inlet off again and blow the fuel line out with the compressor but there was plenty of clean fuel in the sedimenter bowl Mike

Plug in a nanocom and see what codes it's showing Mike

Yeah mine just has the 7/16 jic bulkhead fitting secured with a nut, sounds like you one of the other types, the seller I got my adaptors from was flowfitonline on eBay, they had a huge stock of adaptors so might sort you out? Mike
