Thanks guys, really appreciate the advice. I’m thinking this will have to be a winter project for me!

Hi guys I’ve just put my S3 through a MOT and had an advisory on the rear suspension bush. I’ve got new bushes but haven’t got a clue how to access them!

Please see the photos.

where are my finger is pointing is roughly where the bolt I need to get at is located.

The other bolt in the picture is where the MOT I said I would need to undo to drop down the rear and access it, however that appears to just be a bush and just turns.

any assistance would be gratefully appreciated

Trust me it’s a washout mate, I’m stuck in a van with Chris and Tony, pass me the gun and shoot me now!

Count me in! I only have a holiday booked for the start of July so far

Thanks guys all sorted! you were right it was a short to earth. I've tried attaching a pic but its not letting me for some reason? I'll be taking it for a test run as soon as I can get some fuel!!!! 

Thanks guys, I will have a look at the wiring tomorrow and report back!

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone near Leicester has a spare unit I can borrow to prove if mine is faulty. I can indicate left but when I indicate right it just buzzes loudly. I have replaced all 3 bulbs on that side and now need to replace the blinker unit( square 3 pin type). I have ordered a new one but I have to wait a week before it comes so looking to rule that out before I start tracing the wiring for a fault.

thank you

I have a Series 3

Hi 

I’m just ordering some new springs and have been asked what spring rate I require? 
Any ideas guys……?

I’ve spoke to them, they can supply them and not too bad at £250 but unfortunately they are really odd size so again will take 6 to 8 weeks ….. bang goes the rest of my summer fun

Dampertech will have but you are looking at a couple hundred quid probably more. He will know exactly what you need though 

Thanks mate I’ll give them a try

Hi Guys

I know this is a long shot but I need new rear springs/ shocks for my Series 3 Robin hood. Kit spares have a lead time of 6-8 weeks. I don't suppose anyone has any to sell?

So I guess we need the weekend ticket and Hardstanding parking?

I need to book my ticket - still unsure what I need to book - what happened last time this event was on ?

See you in the morning!

Hi you said it was timing. Can I ask what is the timing set to on tick over 

I got this info on this forum last week (normally 8-10 degrees at idle and 30-36 degrees at full advance.) it worked fine for me!

Not sure yet mate I haven't been out in the wet since, sounds very like it could do tho!

Safe drive mate I’ll give you a call when I arrive tomorrow

Also is there a ST Johns ambulance on site for when I burn my leg on the exhaust again? (3rd time in 2 weeks)   

They look ace! thank you for the link

Looking forward to the weekend! Just a quick question.....do we need cash for this event or are all the stalls / bar taking cashless?

TIA Ray

Thanks mate much appreciated!
