FridgeFreezer Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It's just the revisions of the vehicle design, the first one off the production line will be "A", then as they change things over the years they go to "B", etc. For example, gearboxes get uprated, engines went from 3 bearing to 5 bearing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Owners of Series 2As have a reference list at http://www.lrfaq.org/Series/FAQ.S.Chassis_...suffix.IIA.html I note that one of the sentences at the top of the page reads "The dates are the issue dates of the Service Newsletter announcing the change", so possibly what the OP needs is a similar collation of S3 Service Newsletter information.
