eBay item 353337785676 british army cooker £35 plus postage seems cheap for explosive fun , they seem to be going up in price at the moment

Well done , looks great and as already said it’s great to see a differently painted and marked jeep 👍

That would be great , thank you

Hi everyone, have just purchased a mk2 modified cooker and the grille is missing , was wondering if anyone on here had a spare grille I could purchase , many thanks, terry

Has anyone got any info on this pioneer as it belonged to my grandad ?

As Gordon says , we had similar on our dodge and it was the fuel lines , we proved it by running it from the Jerry can on the running board directly into the fuel pump Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi the guys email is -deleted- Hopefully you can get in touch with him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should do , took me a year to get it to look like that from this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paid £3200 for our 110 , I'd say between 3 and 4 is fair offers , bear in mind they stop making defender in the UK this year so prices will go up , if you do get it you need to get some security to stop it getting nicked as they are popular with thieves at the mo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi I'm from bucks too , we bought our 110 last year and I have spent all year turning it back to military Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's in hard top guise for the winter at the moment tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Gordon , we have purchased a new water tube and will fit that when rebuilding it , will ask at Dallas next time I'm there , we have another engine in there at the moment but the oil rings are gone and its eating oil and keeps blowing head gaskets , we bought it quite cheaply as a temporary replacement and it had been sat seized in a garden for some years , would it be possible to measure one of the non worn out big end journals and get it re metalled up to that as it was running standard big ends and mains prior to the failure ? Thanks , Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi , was wondering if anyone on here could help me, I am looking to find the correct size of the big end journal of a dodge T214 230 ci engine as I need to get one re metaled and re ground to the standard diameter , the closest measurement I can find in the manual is big end bearing center to center measurement of 7"13/16 would this be correct and also are there any known problems with big end bearing oil feed as the no6 big end went but there was no drop in oil pressure before failure apart from the dreadful noise , any help would be greatfully appreciated , many thanks , terry

Fair point , this is all very interesting stuff , I've got a couple of complete sets of 58 pattern but don't really know much about the more modern stuff , thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah , that's a good point , always see plenty of kit at war and peace so shud be able to make something out of it all , can the chest rig be worn in addition to the webbing or separately ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a shame , bit of a waste then , I live and learn tho 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's great , thank you , is there anything that I can make into a set of ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi , I brought this stuff at car boot for a tenner , what is it and is it any good ? Thanks , Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for everyone's help , I did find that the engine paint for fergy tractors is similar to the correct colour , I'll see how much Dallas wants at the next digout Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello , over the coming winter I will be rebuilding the original engine from the dodge and when it's finished I would like to paint it the correct colour , as far as I can gauge from the web it should be smoke grey , having looked at the bell housing on the original engine the colour looks cream/beige in colour and not grey , if grey is the correct colour I would like to know where in the uk stocks such paints and would it have to be heat resistant ? Many thanks , Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi pete , I was thinking of just maybe buying the grinding stone wheel and getting my dad who is a toolmaker to make the jig and wind in handle from the pics on the net , will be rebuilding the original engine as it's out of the truck now and we have a rough second hand engine in there at the moment so the truck is still useable and will probably do that engine up as a spare when the original one is back in so will be doing 12 pistons worth of rings in total Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
