First thing to check is the fuse!

Good point, i dont think it is but will check, we were driving along and a bang happened, left hand door shock a bit, checked engine all okay, then the dash board lights started to mist up so went to the thought of heater, the controls have been jammed so it was on my to do list

Yup its the mechanical novice again, I have an issue with the heating, think its totally gone, I have been advised to test the fan by short circuit to a battery.

Looking at the parts manual and looking at the system its unclear to me how to check which wires are the ones to wire to the battery, at this point I don't want to go to a garage, can any one help,

It’s not just your MV. I suggest you also think well into the future about who might need unhindered motor access to your property for any reason. Postman, couriers, builders, utility suppliers, emergency services, private visitors who happen to drive a van ........

The access may be in the deads re the land, just thought as it's a new building go on the council planning portal and see what the planning conditions are

I'm no expert, but I don't think that a party wall agreement is actually altogether relevant. The argument  is about access. When your seller [I presume it is the same person as is selling to you?] sold land to the builder, that sale agreement should have included a full specification of what rights of access the owner of the remaining land had over the land then sold. These rights would then be binding on all subsequent owners of both areas of land. The important question is did that sale agreement provide for access by motor vehicles, and, if so, what sort? If, just for example, it restricted access to private cars, it won't matter whether your lorry is a commercial vehicle or not, you would not have the right of access with it. [Don't expect the builder to know the details, as he is not likely to be a legal expert!] Your solicitors should be able to explain before you buy the property what your rights of access actually would be if you do buy; if they can't, keep asking until they do. As utt61 implied, the discussion won't go anywhere until you know what the legal situation is.

Not an expert but know a bit it depends on how it's drafted, the big problem is that despite the legal requirements to have an agreement in place there are none. 

I have seen a party wall agreement which did cover maintaining access, I do know a good party wall surveyor, but not me, I'm a building control chartered surveyor 

Sorry part of my business, if work in England and Wales is within, think 3m of an adjoining wall or boundary an agreement needs to be in place before work starts, there used to be an explanatory memoire on the Web, sorry working.by phone on here

You may need to ask for the party wall agreement if one was given, if not available find out why

Brilliant and thanks, I will forward to my father, 

I understand from my father that my grandfather was in a bycicle battalion, does anyone have any information about this unit in WW1

Just thought I would update, hopefully sourced and now waiting for the pot, frying pan and stand a store in Switzerland must have had a delivery as they had been recommended

Many thanks for the answers, i suspected this would be the case, I am looking for a garage so i can paint the beast and also keep it warm

As a novice on the restoration of vehicles and ancillary equipment, I have decided to sand blast and spray paint myself, 

This is a stupid question but I have read a lot and there seems to be a different opinion on the minimum temperature of the surface to be sprayed and how long this temperature should be maintained. 

If we were looking at brick laying it's 4 degrees on a falling thermometer and 2 on a rising one, I am hoping something similar for spray painting, 

The tin of paint I have does not give an answer. 

Went to Paint Man near Doncaster this week and they have matched the paint. 

Also have sourced rivets, not 100% correct but hopefully no one will know 

Thanks for that search pattern, my IT skills are fairly basic

I have emailed the admin but when i do a search for a thread even one i have created there seems a block for anything before September.

The same is when I click content I started.

Is it me or do we have a glitch?

Thanks

Richard

Just got some of these, most need a bit of fiddling to get working, any clue on how to get open and check the electrics?

Thanks for the information, I had not noticed the errors to be honest, when saw it thought it funny but wasn't sure

I noticed this label on EBAY

LAND ROVER WOLF MAX TOWING SPEED DASH STICKER Small MILITARY PENMAN Trailer | eBay

I don't remember seeing similar labels in the cab of a Land Rover can any one comment?

The ones seen on the road always seem faster than that

An neighbour when i was a kid mentioned he was in tanks on D Day, and the best way to park was drive into an empty house, no door needed

For anyone else in my position drill, crow bar and hammer the diameter is 5.5mm

Just received the results

They look like 3/16" flat head. I think I may have some in the shed, will have a look tonight for you. How many do you need?

Many thanks I think about 6 for the handles, any spare would be appreciated

I can try and get a inches tape on tomorrow to verify if that would help

Does any one know the correct size of the rivet's before I get the drill out to try and get one out, need to order a few to sort the handles, also hunted online but cant find ones like these at the moment. 

I have to say this years is the most emotional one I have watched EX Royal Navy Reserve and proud to support all personal evolved
