This might help but I think this refers to Mk 1, there were slightly different EMERs for Mk 2.

Thanks for this, you know how it is work gets in the way of enjoyment, I need an idiots guide to be honest as always learning especially on these kind of things

What do you intend running it from, a mains transformer capable of 55 Amps will be fairly large and probably need a cooling fan?  

At the moment i was thinking needed a step down transformer form 110 or 240v as would be used with a generator, hence my question to those more knowledgeable than me

Thanks for this, I am still hunting for Clive's information on here, I am hoping to find some one who has adapted a cable to use of a power supply not attached to a vehicle, 

Clive

Many thanks, another thought for hunting

Hope this is the type

Clive

many thanks will try and find these and a picture of the vehicle type

Guys

As always thanks in advance and seeking advice.

Just bought this and the cable leading from it, has anyone adapted the cable for a none FV vehicle supply?

Does any one have a manual for it?

I am trying to get a display of cooking for shows, does anyone have pictures showing it in use?

Was there a cook book for it or for heating usually a ration pack?

Also does anyone have an idea which vehicle the registration belongs to?

That reminds me of a job i was involved in the spry paint landed on car but looking at it the colour was not the same as being sprayed, as you say its the mix

Thanks Ruxy and all, always learning on here, count it as CPD for work

Yes hadn't spotted that, the other strange part is that's the only bit I can find

The vehicle doesn't appear to have any that i can find, but saying that maybe the pintle was transferred from a vehicle which was.

The puzzle is the paint does look gloss, I thought Gulf would be a matt paint

Started stripping the paint, and found what looks like brown gloss under the black, think it is red oxide is the base. 

Anyone any clue why the brown, the vehicle is direct from MoD so its not that a private owner has done it

Thanks, i can see flecks of red and yellow, as the pintle is jammed going to take this opportunity to strip the paint off and get it free, 

This may be a stupid question to my learned friends but I am looking at my FFR Land Rover and the body is matt, the NATO tow hitch is black gloss, I also have seen the part in red.

I am assuming black matt would be the correct colour for about 1983, can anyone confirm if I am correct

Thanks in advance

Just a quick thought, any one a clue what the British Standard Number would be for the paint, at the moment I cant see what could be counted as unfaded paint.

If not need to try and get a part off to take to local paint shop who has a scanner ugh

Thanks in advance

Went around to a friend of mine to collect a No 5 stove which was possibly going to be binned.

Turned up fully expecting it to be a gas powered one, but it wasn't its petrol.

I have just noticed that badges are now appearing on the imoji for the person but there is no where on the site that a visitor can see what they mean.

I have to say i did like the rank system as it showed you what was going on but it was disabled when the upgrade was done. 

The badges being awarded appear to be random when they appear and as Richard says annoying

Yes us old farts are young farts now is it a regeneration programme they are testing on us but not saying 

Having just posted I have been congratulated on my 10th and 500th post both at the same time., that was a long time ago.

Under badges I know have 6, but the time line does not reflect this.

All those confused please raise their hand

Something has happened to the forum today and we appear to have been awarded different types of badges. Having been a member of this forum for 16 years now, why am I labelled as a 'Newbie', makes no sense at all. Another gimmick from the forum server no doubt.

Same here, been on since 2016, didnt say as thought it was just me
