Be careful with this - Their web site shows repair / rebuild stuff in Switzerland so not likely to be able to help people in South Africa unless you can send your vehicle there!

Any idea how much they wanted?

What happened to the last engine that was in there? Do you have any details for the current engine? Make? Power output? Max RPM? What custom built bits were made to enablle the engine to fit the Haflinger Gearbox shaft? Does it use the original Haflinger clutch or the bike engine's clutch. Sorry...

Very tall person used this! The drivers seat has a good five inchs on the original seat - Obviously also looked over the top of the windscreen! John

Does the Datsun engine sump hang down a long way below the gearbox casing? It looks like it has quite a deep sump. Also would be better if you had a front bash guard to protect the steering and front differential. John

Which nuts in the engine? The workshop manual has some listed, but in the "how to remove" section rather than in "How to put back" section. Attached (I hope) are 5 pages of torque settings. Not the easiest listings to understand, so if you can't find what you are looking for, put a post up with...

Looks like it has a VW engine rather then the original engine in the back, I wonder if the original engine is available? The rear platform has been covered over with what looks like a wood layer. That covers the rear footwells by the looks of things, but the pictures don't show if the rear seats...

The workshop manual will explain how to set the gearbox up, but will refer parts of the setup to be done with special Haflinger tooling / jigs. This will make it difficult for most mechanics whether home mechanics or qualified mechanics. The dimensions for most of the special jigs are in the...

Bleeding brakes on any vehicle including a Haflinger is best done with two people. Make sure you have new DoT 4 brake fluid available and top up the master reservoir before you begin. There are brake bleeding kits available which use the air pressure in a tyre to turn the job into a one person...

How much were you thinking? Some more pictures wouldn't go amiss, John

It also has at least one bald tyre and that wheel doesn't look like it goes in the same direction as the other front wheel either!

Hi Theo, can you let me know the cost of sending it to my address:- John Bennett 11 Cranmer Close Lewes East Sussex BN7 2JN United Kingdom Many thanks John

I'm interested. How much to put UK map on it and ship to the UK. I can pay in Rands. Many thanks, John

look nice.

I flew in via Jo'burg - walking from the international arrivals to the domestic terminal on the level with the shops and restaurants. Sorry, can't remember the name of the shop, but it sold suitcase and stuff like that. Just a visitor, My Dad lives here so I come to see him. John

I "spotted" one at the airport on my arrival in S.A. Didn't get a chance to ask how much though! I'll ask if it is still there when I leave at the end of the month. John

Poor engine has been run without oil - As long as the scrapes in the barrels can be removed, the bottom of the barrels can just be cleaned up and will be fine. If you have problems finding replacement pistons of suitable sizes, you can always go for a bigger CC engine by using VW pistons and...

He sold it today to someone, whilst I was waiting for him to send me pictures....

That's the bit which made me ask, Why does he have a running engine not in a Haflinger? I have sent him a message asking for pictures, so we'll see what comes back. John
