Any one give me any more ideas as to what to look for next??? or where to get parts from??? pictures attached of the Modifications!!

  9. Hello all I have got a one of the above gennys - i swaped it a few years ago for something at a show with a mate he said it was a worker and i dont dought him. But I can't get it started!! i have taken out the spark plug and cleaned it up, i have got fuel and when i pull the starting cord with the spark plug out i can smell petrol coming from the spark plug hole if you know what i mean, so i am farly sure that it if not a fuel problem (but i might be wrong). But i cant get a spark! i took the side of and replaced some of the wires going to the starter switch but still no spark!. before i attack it again tommorrow any one got anyideas as to where to start or what ti check??. I guess the sparking system worked the same way as a petrol lawnmower? so perhaps the contacts in side need a clean up? picture below if i have done it correctly!
  10. I am trying to get a set of military number plates made up for my army land rover to put on it when I go to shows. It appears that the DVLA have changed the rules for the manufacture of show plates. Dose any one know the rules relating to this and if I can indeed get a set made now and if I can get a set now made does any one know where I can get a set made up??
  11. That was my thought to be honist bedford, but i might be supprised!! thanks for the replys
  12. Help Brought these at beltring and i have not got any idea what they fit!! I brought them for a mate after describing them over the phone and we thougth that they fitted a 101 - alas not the 101 shock bushes are big but not this big!!. the dims are inside 25.50mm the outside is 48.00mm the one in the box is marked in its wrapper "LV6/MT1 LU/9056/34 BUSH FERRULE RUBBER QTY 4" I am thinking bedford but i might be wrong!! they cost us two pounds per packet and i would rather see them used as they are still supple and all that!! PS If i have done it correctly you should see a picture!!
  13. Hee Hee, I wear it if you can get me a teat to suck!!!

  17. Many thanks the chris and Mike and Vince and the gent with the spartan witht the floatation screens whos name escapes me at the Mo:confused:. It was a good learning experence and i have been pointed in the direction of Andy Baker. But i am in no rush but i have decided on eather a spartan or a smaritan!! just a few more things to sort out and i will start looking to purchase!:yay:
  18. Don't they a few years ago sell off half of the land that the old wooden huts where on. With the idea that by selling off half off the land/huts they could use the money that was released to safe guard the rest??:confused:
  19. I remember at the age of 11 watching it at RAF Abingdon open day and the ground shaking whilst the display was going on!!! Great to see it displaying and flying again!!:yay::yay:
  20. Hi All Thanks for the offers gents I will certainly take them up over the “Beltring” experience!. As for the tents I will be taking 3 x 12x12 and two 2x9x9 (one a wolf 9x9) All are the genuine military issue not a lesser copy, if any one is interested then please PM me after all I do not want to take then home and they MUST BE SOLD!!!
  21. Chris thanks I will find you and introduce my self!!. It have been a strange few years for me and my mates, there used to be about nine of use that used to go to the shows but over the past few years we have all gone out separate ways, with things like marriages and kids and even work getting in the way, shame but it happens. So we have got some 12x12s and 9x9 to sell as I am sick of storing them in my shed and we cant see the group getting together again :-( shame but it happens. I am still interested in the MV world :-D I want a different challenge now apart from land rovers!!
  22. Hello all I am looking at the possibility of purchasing a CVRT soon, once I have confirmed where it will be stored and gained my “H license”. Would any of you fine people be willing to give me a walk around and a little guidance of what to look for before I purchase? I will be going to Beltring arriving on the Saturday midday I think. I know that I must be a little mad but over the years I they have grown on me and I relish the challenge that the maintenance will bring:-D!! Thanks in advance
