Thanks Richard This fox was hull no 293 of 300 and had only short service mostly in storage and then just before it was struck off it went through a full base overhaul. why the army spends fortunes on service and repairs when 2months later they stuck it off beat me.

Fantastic thanks Clive Laurence

It probably needs shoes and that the reason the paul broke if you have a pair that would be great thanks Laurence

Great I will get one. Do you still have any transmission brake shoes for the handbrake I bought some for my last fox off you some time ago Thanks Laurence

Thanks Richard Do you know what the number s represent or where I can find the EMES modifications

This vehicle had a base repair just before it was struck off . Does anybody know what the data codes mean 4, 5 , 7,8, 9, 14. All from the data sheet from the engine capsule The handbrake paul is also broken has anyone got one from the offside if for some strange reason they are sided They are cast iron and I am at present making one in high carbon steel but its a bit of a chore but would prefer an original one Laurence

A fuel pump on a Fox CVRT burnt the wiring at the motor museum coming out of the arena soldered a new wire on the stub and got home I considered a gravity system if this was not successful . When I went to see this vehicle it blew its engine on the road test as it went over a fast duel carriageway junction I bought the vehicle at a reduced price and replaced the engine with a nos from Marcus Glenn Apart from these events I have never had any of my vehicles break down and have had 7 ferrets 2 champs 1 Fox CVRW Ac cobra & E type jaguar The Fox was a great vehicle and sadly I sold it

I found the hull number just to the left and higher up from the data plate

I dont know why the previous topic came up when I started a new topic on Hull number ?

I have a few 5 pot Discharges they look like the 4 pot one same type that I had on my CVRW FOX they have the similar base . I am wondering which vehicle has 5 pots. Laurence

Replacement of leads are failry easy to pull through using a silicon grease /spray on old and new copper leads all the metal connections can be wire brushed before fitting all the best Laurence replace

great vehicle and great refurbish well done Laurence

Sealant Should not be necessary on the diaphragm but the diaphragm should be depressed level and not in the delivery position via the spring Once the diaphragm is depressed [to suction it could tear it ]allowing fuel into the oil A electric pump allows the vehicle to start without wearing out the starter. On most vehicles allowing the vehicle to idle will charge all of the oil galleries. I fitted two pumps on different electrical circuits in case one fails. I had a CVRW fox that had a Electric pump that failed and was hard to acess

Rollers seem very good . When my garage was taken over by a Haulage firm an ERF was ran without coolant and siezed The boss stripped the head off put freeing oil down the bore and to our horror belted the pistons with a hammer and a piece of wood to free the pistons. After rebuilding the engine , they started it I thought it would be KNACKERED but they ran it without trouble Till I left 3 years later. Good mechanics ?

Fitting a expansion bottle to take the overflow is a simple job they did it on the SAS jeeps I have had 5 Ferrets and have done this mod If you cannot get a gasket for the manifold Make one out of copper sheet a old hot water cylinder comes in handy  I made a mod on the exhaust manifold to reduce the exhaust leak at the expansion pipes and it was so quite and gave me over 10 to 12 mpg it was posted a few years ago with pics
