  1. Clive Just come across this thread and can answer your queries. RRC7310 is a 3 terminal screen and was indeed used on pre Wolf 12v military models and the Genuine Parts ones are made by Pilkington. Pattern part ones on the same part number can be really poorly made. On 12v vehicles the centre terminal is normally the power feed and the outer ones are earth terminals. On Wolf it is wired differently and the centre terminal is not used. You just use the outer terminals as power and earth and insulate the centre terminal. I found out the hard way that if you use all three terminals on a Wolf then you literally melt 40amp fuses, the screen goes as fuzzy a hell to look through and everything gets really hot. Nick
  2. I'm trying to find one of the clip on side tables and a stainless steel folding table for a Sankey No4 Cook Trailer. I could also do with two of the square aluminium frying trays for the same.
  3. In the list I have, last year the MOD still had at least 45 of these under contract LV2A/265 but searching the linked NSN 2320998939689 shows 96 vehicles. The discrepancy is down to the MOD not recording the contract number for all vehicles in the list. The most common general description is given as: TRUCK UTY MED 4X4 CL LAND ROVER 110 H/T 2.5 LTR TDI and all appear to be CL specification so Helicopter Support is very unlikely. A couple also appear as soft tops in the general description. Dates into service of these range from February 1996 to May 2002 so quite a long running contract but the bulk of them date from 1996/7. Military registrations appear to be from several 'blocks' with quite a few in the 36AY?? and 37AY?? RAF range.
  4. This part might dampen your spirits:cry: 1.7: The proposed increase would apply to military AVT only. Non MoD track laying vehicles will continue to be restricted to the existing 20mph maximum speed limit
  5. I had this same issue some years ago with a Series III FFR. I went to the local Lucas depot and they came up with 069 as the correct replacement. I seem to remember that 072 was an alternative.
  6. If it's a solid vehicle go for it. Just beware of rot in the same places as other Defenders although the rear crossmember tends to fare much better on the Wolf because of its unique design.
  7. If you take a look at the below link you'll find details under Modification Instruction No 42. The wheel carrier is made by Mantec but is to a specific design for the MOD. Looking at the pictures of the Wolf at Witham's, the conversion has only been partially completed because the modification also requires repositioning of the rear lights and fitting of a rear step. The same link will be of interest to anyone with a Wolf because it is the full set of up to date Modification Instructions for the TUL(HS), TUM(HS) and Pulse fleet. They have been declassified and released following an FOI request I submitted last month. :-) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/405637/FOI2015_01547_Percival_Landrover_Defender_Wolf_110_Annex_A_AESP_2320_D_128_811_2_45-O.pdf
  8. In that case Billy is guilty. Hanratty proved guilty with DNA some years ago. Poor Billy......
  9. Hi Robin The others beat me to the reply! As for price, retail from Land Rover is £246 +vat so the one from Thexmod is a reasonable price, but there are at least 3 on eBay including the one David has linked. The other two are new and listed at £74 each. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/L-K-LAND-ROVER-POWER-SOCKET-BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-PART-RRC8692-/400483854816 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/military-landrover-wolf-vehicle-interstart-plug-RRC8692-/360539701364 Nick
  10. Hi Charlie I got it from Blanchard's via eBay. It's just the isolator kit and doesn't include the Auxiliary Earth Terminal Kit referred to in the Mod Inst. The latter is just a 60cm long 25mm² earth lead with a 10mm terminal one end and an 8mm terminal the other so easy to make. A few pictures attached. Nick
  11. This week I fitted an isolator switch to my 110 Wolf using the Land Rover / MOD modification kit. This kit switches the negative side of the system and also creates an auxiliary earth post within the battery box. This earth post then takes any extra negative cables that were fitted to the negative terminal of the battery i.e. the earth from the interstart socket.
  12. The Muckleburgh Show is definitely NOT on this year and it's not looking good for future years either.
  13. Thanks for the PM's. I now have a couple of copies.
  14. God knows what will replace Pulse and yes I will be keeping a careful eye out for a Commanders variant.
