The HEIU(High Energy Ingnition Unit) is like a vehicle coil on steroids. I doubt it would give you white hair unless you were vey lucky as they are touted that they will kill you. Only on when spooling up as it runs the ignitor and is the ticking noise. Once the fire is running it's turned off Damn I am having flashbacks :shocked: You should have put it in your Raidtrac :cool2:

Is it this one http://www.corestore.org/turbine.htm ??

Has me curious as in Aussie I heard this story, many many years ago.

What are these wheels? I seen a silver set on a Pinz and thought they were some atermarket thing, never realised they are MOD rims. I had paid and had on hold a set of Hutchison rims but the seller sold them again (or couldn't count) so my set disappeared)

ditto.... rebuilds are always good :yay: at least most the sheet metal is fairly available and common at cheap prices at junkyards.

Just thought of something your military light switch is in the correct position?

MOD vehicles....... Mine had a seperate flasher unit for the hazard lights. So if you swap the fuses around and they don't work the problem will be else where. If elsewhere use a 24v test pen on the flasher unit as one of them should light up if the indicators are on. Look at that terminal and see if its corroded. Also the earth on that is normally the mounting screw so you can undo it and clean it up and screw it in. If the flasher unit is working one terminal will flash. A multimeter comes in handy also. Best of luck.

Not a thread I would typically be interested in as, to wear or not wear, I have no real opinion (apart from the fact I have gone through mid life expansion and my service battledress jacket now fits me like a strippers halter top). The point that popped up that interested me was the wearing of ranks, insignia and medals. I noticed the military code of practice was raised. I was under the impression it was illegal by civil law. I realise it is not enforced but I suppose neither was the MV export permit requirements. Just curious what civi law says about it and what date the law is from, if there is such a law.

Yep I would swap the fuses around first and see if the indicators comes on and something else goes off then it will be fuse. Do the hazard lights work? Do the windscreen wipers work as the wipers are running off the same fuse. Mind you still check the fuses as or swap them around as the first option. If not a fuse :cry: It is not uncommon for Land Rovers to have bad earths due to corrosion. There could be 2 flasher units, hence I asked if the hazards are working, if not one. The if you have to get behind the dash, be careful screwing it back in as some bright spark (pun intended) designed the main loom so that it runs in the channel behind the dash. The dash screws work against the loom and at that point there is no fused protection so a screw in the loom results in the loom melting, smoke, fire, etc etc. Hopefully its a fuse. One of those 24v electrical check pens are very useful at this point.

I been meaning to ask.... how did you get the nice ridge around the hole on the gasket as looks very neat an tidy?

Never thought of this before. A good friend of mine has an ex Cypriot Landrover Lightweight Kangaroo (fitted with a 106) Anyone know of any of the history, pictures etc? Were they modded by UK or Cyprus?

Looking forward to this rebuild also as I nearly bought one a few years back for peanuts but the ex-wife said no! :idea: maybe that was one of the reasons she was upgraded to 'ex' status A restored one here currently for sale for a little over 9000 pounds. Was another place selling them also

Yep was reading the bit about being bakelite. Must have been this as was way back in '84 and I never wanted much to do with them as a mills is easy, unscrew the bottom and take the fuse out.

It is really hard to find info on what they got over here. I think mainly because: - A lot of websites here as phishing sites or just rubbish - English is not the primary language of the military sites. One good site is military photos and have some more Supacats: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2627166&highlight=supacat#post2627166 http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2873382&highlight=supacat#post2873382 http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3834179&highlight=supacat#post3834179 I have not seen one in the junkyards 'yet'......

Quite a nice looking bike. Also had a Red Moto Guzzi parked next to it. A pity as most old tin ends up in the scrap bin over this way

Anyone know what this first aid kit belongs to? I bought it thinking "thats a pretty little box" when in fact it is quite large and was going to cost a small fortune to post. Lucky for me a colleague was travelling over my way I have not seen another like it (but I only look every now and again)

Cheers to yours and others input, all updated. Last year, started rebuilding a Lightweight, this year a Pinz. After reading the posts in here I am keen to go around snapping every MV I see and I travel a lot.

Well end with some Aircraft stuff, with the missus insisting to be included........ I guess I gotta be nice to the missus as working on the Pinz tomorrow Plus may need a trip to the Junkyards next week :yay:

More Condor and SIBMAS variants

A Mixture of Condor and SIBMAS variants

I heard there maybe an armour museum.... :idea: I can plan that one for Valentines day..... as long as I take flowers :-D

I thought there would be some quirks on the versions here. For some reason I was having a very close look at that. Then I came back and saw the post regarding a Ferret silencer repair!! Making silencers here, in stainless is peanuts.... I should start a business shipping them :-D

A Hagglund

Another Ferret and Daimler

Another, I don't know off the top of my head, maybe Staghound?? CORRECTION
