82. Re: WIPER CONTROLS Am I asking too much? (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 16:32:24 EST; One opinion from the British Isles is that Alpines do not deserve to be driven in the rain, so the wipers on the SIII have not been used in anger for several years.

I don't mind the rain at all, and love driving in it.

87. Re: Brake Booster (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 07:20:58 EST; All SIII's should have had a booster. If it's been taken off, and the M/C not replaced, you're likely to have an unpleasantly hard peadal, as the bore should be smaller for the non-boosted set-up.

The more modern ball joint type is much easier to repair and maintain, and less likely to have problems in the first place. Julian; /html/alpines/2003-01/msg00091.html (7,035 bytes)
