    I have just acquired the box with a light and cable which doesn't connect, there are pen markings on it and I was wondering if anyone had a clue, yes not good but had to take a label off to try and clean the box up.

    Just seen this thread and not sure if relavent, if the vehicle is historic and doesn't need Mot and tax, what would the situation be if I carried on getting an MoT would you still need tax?

    My neighbour who was in the Army, not sure exactly which regiment but was responsible for the motor pool told me yesterday he always preferred to use the civie version of the manual as the Mod ones were hopeless we were talking about land rover to be honest

    This may seem a stupid question but using the Kurust I assume all valves and connections should be taken off?

    Decided that the weather was nice to have a look at the burner again, put endoscope in and as usual brain not thinking as there was the "Fuel pipe" across the base. Took out the plug and next idea get one of the bolts of same thread, yup not got one, had one M10, think the thread could be M12 pushed gently and no crack I was expecting if rust, it moved gently, back to original thought sludge, put about a litre of petrol in to soak over night, will give it a swirl out tomorrow before using a bit of the brake cleaning fluid.

    Thanks for the heads up, I think I will get the endoscope out before I start and see what it looks like, before I start, I may only need to clean the base where the drain plug is, says he hopefully

    Decided to clean the tank inside, opened the drain valve and saw what i thought was sludge, turns out it may be rust, tried a gentle prod with a stick not shifting, going to have a gentle tap with a hammer, then but some BB pellets inside to rattle around to see what else will be shifted.

    The cover is away to get the handles fixed.I have dismantled to get fixed, the burners are brushed with a wire brush and now painted.It was interesting these were black gloss and the rest was matt either black or green.

    Do we have a date roughly when this happened?

    Sorry I am getting confused, I have a vehicle with numbers first and a trailer letters first, there is a thread on here asking the question why both and response was it was an asset code for the army, I can't remember seeing a "tug" for any trailer recently not having numbers first, I go near Catterick twice a week and see a fair amount of vehicles, Just trying to get a grip on things
  16. Surveyor
    Many thanks both, also for the merlin website which I couldn't find, looking at the Web pages of the vehicle I will ask for an FOI Next question I understand trailer started with letters and vehicles numbers but this seems different any advice please Richard
  17. Surveyor
    I have just purchased an air jack and there is the above registration on the tag, looking on the RLC website its not recognised, before I do an FOI does any one have a clue what the vehicle or trailer it refers to. Thanks in advance Richard

    Snood is another term maybe?

    Chris Thanks for the information, its always great getting these kinds of anecdotes on any subject Richard

    Thanks the tank smells of petrol, I am looking to wash out sludge, seen that to get off rust on inside to use gravel, just wondering if the valves may have sludge as well
  21. Surveyor
    Many thanks, there was only one in the catalogue, got it for a good price but glad to save it, its one of those jobs, a bit at a time. Going to look at the YouTube video to get the base loose, also looking at best way to clean the tank, any suggestions are always appreciated
  22. Surveyor
    Next phase, took a good look before going further, the pump needs new washers etc. decided the cover and base are the only things I will get clean and repainted, the remainder looks in good condition.Loosened the nut on the bas and looks like a load of sludge inside, stopped and put back in place to have a think about how to clean out the tank.Took the metal instruction plate off was fixed with copper rivets.Going to have another look at the instruction book tonight with a view to getting off base plate and list which valve is which
  23. Surveyor
    I wonder why the difference, it looks like checking that you don't do clock wise, but opposite does the manual say if the thread is a different size
  24. Surveyor
    Can you give a reference for the book please it sounds a good one to have
  25. Surveyor
    How about this
