  3. After my friend bought his Ferret There was no power the previous owner had fitted a new carburetor, fuel tank etc so they must have had a problem and could not sort it For example we road ran it up a long road with a small incline it would only drive in 1st gear, the traffic was backed up and I were desperate for a place to turn and finally found one to get back to his home. After the usual points, plugs condenser. I started looking further . I then checked the inlet valve clearances .Some muppet had got them totally wrong raging 0.0015 to 25 oversise and one at ).0001 barley opening. AHA road test . Boy it had some power for a ferret . On my last ferret I came upon the same problem but the clearance was over 0.5 " over adjusted When looking at the rockers under the rocker cover NOTE that they are INLET valves only and need to be correctly adjusted I am sure this often happens on other military vehicles when they are messed about by unskilled people Laurence
  4. full set of tyres now fitted now need to get it running good and road test. regards
  5. thanks for the reply.The main thing is to be compliant with the law as £ 1000 per defective tyre and points on you licence is not worth your collar being felt. regards
  6. Thanks Now to convince him the importance of good tyres Cheers Laurence
  7. I am helping a friend do up a ferret but the tyres are very poor .Are there any firms doing them at present .The size are 900 x16 I believe Thanks Laurence
  8. Its hard for vintage military owner with 60+ year old vehicles but there are tyres out there .Unfortunately the law does not take prisoners. Cracked tyres can be used on prvate land or have the vehicle transported to various sites. I would encourage tyre companies to help us , sometimes they do a run on various redundant tyres.
  9. I was looking at a programe the other week on the police and mot failures . If a tyre is cracked with age , the driver of the vehicle could be fined £2500 and points on their licence per tyre When I have seen the state of some of the vehicle tyres at shows . Tyre Paint will not make it MOT legal . Keep safe replace old tyres

  14. thanks for that i thought thee would be a lot more than just the lubrication system. I will pass on the info this Saturday.
  15. Thank for the reply Richard . I would think locating the parts would take a bit of effort finding a a sump , remote tank, pipes and pumps will not be easy but the HMVF may have someone that has them.
