Buyers Guide

Post by Neil Evans »

The website and forum seem to be lacking in any sort of A30/A35 buyers guide. Either that or the search facility is U/S... :whistle:

Can someone point me at one or failing that can we put one together between us?

Perhaps the buyers guide could be split into two sections

1) Specifications of the different models available and the years they were manufactured between.

2) things to look out for when buying one in terms of rust, known items of failure etc.

Paul,

I've got some software to convert PDF to various formats .. including a web page, etc.

I suppose we need to decide what format we hold it on the website in ...

I'd put it up as a PDF .. Then it's easily downloadable by anyone.

And not so easy to alter ....

Can be updated it as necessary too.
