mike13401 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi I have just bought an Auverland A3 (sad I know or maybe not) Any seems to be a bit of a rare beast so I am looking for anyone with any info on them. IE, what parts they use from other manufacturers any upgrades or mods worth doing. I am also looking for a manual and any spares,even a complete breaker would be good. Would appreciate any help and/or advice. ATB Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Baldwin Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Worry not. I have a feeling someone on this forum will be along very shortly to tell you everything you needed to know about Auverland's...and more...! Put the kettle on and plump up a cushion. This could take some time. Come on David, the clock's ticking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Neale Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's the one that was on Ebay not so long ago - belonged to a chap in Minehead I think. I'm sure Luvvers will be along in a minute, but in case he isn't - I've got an A3 sat outside right now - and having spent the last couple of months working on it for it's owner, I'm quite impressed with it.... Basically, it's an Auverland designed galv bodyshell on a ladder chassis and using mainly Peugeot running gear. The standard engine is a 1.9 XUD, normally aspirated, coupled to a Pug 504 main gearbox and an Auverland 2 speed 2/4 wheel drive transfer box. Pug 405 clutch. Coil sprung live axles with an LSD in the rear - both DANA 44's made by Salisbury. Discs on the front and drums rear - fronts are as per the early Citroen C25, rears are same as Volvo 344/mk 2 escort. Range Rover +1" shocks. They are still made - although no longer imported into the UK. They now use the turbo'd version of the XUD but are basically what I've outlined above. Have a look HERE and HERE for a bit more info. Hope this helps. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike13401 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've retired - Matt is the new expert on them, having spent months re-building Darren's Ok chaps who ever is the expert can you help? I have blown the steering box (6 bolt LR gemma) and most say its a weak point as even LR ditched it quite quickly. So is there an easy conversion to say for instance a 4bolt box . I guess also it would depend on the drop arm and whether it is a LR item. Or does anyone know where I can get a replacement 6 bolt at reasonable cost. Also the speedo doesnt work and I believe it is an electronic Peugeot item but I am not sure where there sender is and what it is if it needs replacing. And finally (for now) there is a lot of vibration coming through the body when driving and also when stationary. Feels like a mount has gone but I can only find one engine mount and that seems to be intact although I have not tried lifting engine to see if its worn. Thanks chaps whoever you are ATB Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
