Re: Speakers in a squareback
glass action are the only off the shelves ones i can think of http://www.glass-action.com/type3.html, although i've got a set of fibreglass ones knocking about that were not made by them (no idea who made them though). other than that i think it's DIY as above or maybe go down the suitcase stereo ro...

Re: what other engines fit in a square??
The tricky bit will be the engine bay space..........not that I've thought about it ;) ;) was thinking non turbo would fit under the lid, but as i've not seen it done or got specific measurements at this point i can't be 100%... with a turbo motor however cutting or box over the lid are probably go...

Re: what other engines fit in a square??
scooby motor :evil: ... radiator in the spare wheel well, subtle vents in the lower valance below the bumper line piped through to the back, rjes bell housing to use a bus box with scooby clutch. all will fit under the hatch in theory or you can build a box to fit instead of the lid. not that i've p...

Re: no power under load
Check the advance in the distributor is working - the rotor arm should twist in one direction and spring back. If you've a vacuum advance make sure that's working (suck on hose and it should move the distributor base-plate). I think the MoT would have shown up sticky brakes. Make sure choke butterf...

Re: no power under load
Good luck with finding it. These things do seem to have a habit of not enjoying the winter rest period - my lumpy idling seems to be caused by a similar lack of use! cheers for that... honestly she seems to have survived the winter really well considering. hope you get that idle sorted and get back...

Re: no power under load
It's not something stupid like the brakes sticking after it's little sleep? Might be worth feeling the wheels after a short drive to see if they are hotter than they should be. now this thought did cross my mind, but i dismissed it (perhaps too quickly) after doing emergency stops, etc... and findi...

its most likely to be either a duff switch,or sludge in the system blocking up the switch To test the switch,pull the 2 wires off & touch them together M/cyl on type 3's is accessed from under the car,& theres a sheet metal cover held on with 2 screws that you need to remove for access.Removing fro...

Re: help needed with brake lights
The first thing I would check is the fuse. If that checks out, bit of a long shot, but have both bulbs failed at the same time...unlikely but... On my Type 4 and Bug the brake light switch is located on the side of the brake master cylinder. I would have thought it would be possible to test the wir...
