  1. Hi folks, I own a M38 jeep which as all military vehicles do leaks at bit of oil! I went to take it out this morning and whilst it was idling on the drive noticed a pool of oil on the floor. Closer inspection revealed oil leaking from the bottom of the bell housing. Not quite running out but a fairly constant drip! Im guessing the main seal has gone so not a quick fix but anyone have any other suggestions before I start taking her apart! Cheers Mark
  2. Evening folks, My mate is still struggling to get his jeep to fire up. He has replaced and checked all the electrical components (coil, etc) and static timed the engine to no gain. Today he has done a compression test and three of the four cylinders have no compression!! Anyone any ideas or suggestions? Cheers Mark
  3. Hi folks, My mate has a GPW or MB (can't remember which!) which won't start. It has been a chassis up restoration but having got nearly to the end it won't start. It has a new (6 volt) battery, leads, coil, condenser, point, leads and plugs. Power is getting through and there is a spark on each plug. He has tried pouring a small amount of fuel directly into the carb and has even tried Easy Start but still no joy. All earthing leads are good. I've no experience of 6 volt systems, can you have a weak spark?! Could it be a dodgy component? Has anybody had a similar problem got any ideas? Cheers Mark
  4. This came as a spare with my QL and is not needed. The paint is peeling and there is a bit of surface rust but this will all clean up. No idea what it's worth so best offer secures. collection only from Bradford or can take to Yorkshire Wartime or War and Peace. Cheers, Mark
  5. Hi folks, These came as spares when I bought my QL. I'm unlikely to ever need them but I'm sure someone can make use of them. Not quite sure what to call them. The manual describes them as the door garnish rail panel (the bit with the lock and winding mechanism on), a vertical runner and god knows what you call the U shaped piece but it goes on the inside of the door frame. Anyway there is a left hand and right hand set. The paint is peeling and there is a little bit of surface rust but otherwise in good condition and ready to fit. Selling as a complete set and collection only from Bradford (can take to Yorkshire Wartime or War and Peace). Not sure what they are worth so best offer secures. Cheers, Mark
