Surveyor

Having just found out that my bolt to hold the pick axe has a damaged thread I need to dismantle the thing, before I attempt it can any one advise if the spacer is threaded on or push fit, if threaded suspect I may lose the spacer.

Mechanical idiot

This company may have a replica

Welcome, where in Scotland, have a 110, engine went 2 weeks ago so not drivable at the moment

Signed, kids doing so as well

World War 2 Treasure Hunters, starting Monday 9th of October at 21:00 on History Channel. Featuring Rick & Suggs in one of the episodes, the trailer for the series looks like all 8 episodes will be worth watching.

Thanks was wondering about when it was going out

Driving back up the M74 yesterday, the engine clicked for about a mile then 10 miles latter the engine stared braking the Land Rover, thankfully managed to get to the hard shoulder. No crunching sound like a timing belt jumping teeth.

The mechanic came out from Lockerbie and after a bit said the cam shaft was frozen.

Being a mechanical idiot any suggestions on how to try and free it or is it a garage job to strip down the engine.

Also trying to find where the engine number is as I do now it was replaced approximately 10 years ago by the MoD.

Thanks in advance

If no luck on the forum, you might be lucky at the unit museums.

Good point never thought about that when posting and hunting online

I know this is a long shot but any photographs of this Land Rover would be appreciated, to help any one I attach an FOI regarding units

Thanks in advance[TABLE=class: MsoNormalTable, width: 617, align: left]

The thing to watch though is that with coax feed coming in, the port hole obviously has to be open to a degree, but if it rains, water gets blown into the orifice & also tracks along the coax to make it wet inside. Not a massive ingress but when I sleep in the back the end of my sleeping bag would soon get soaked.

 

I have been told that in service the sock is everted when coax is used with a slight dip in the coax externally minimises wetness.

Clive

Many thanks, that is a bit further down the line, at present only want exterior to look right, internally latter maybe, but so glad to get the thing done,

Richard

Thanks to a scanned page from Clive got around today and fitted it, yippee looks good, without his help would be scratching head and getting splinters

Hello Everyone,

Am i reading date correctly or have you put wrong year in?

It's to make up for the ones we cant see anymore that people had linked into Photobucket:-(

Sorry, I only had a smart answer, not the one you wanted.

I get it and don't use photobucket, some times when I preview I can delete them but not always

I have found out the numbers of my type of vehicle are fewer than previously loan, i have spoken to my insurance company and they are not sure how to proceed.

Does anyone know of a specialist insurance valurer for military vehicles hopefully in Scotland

DVLA check :-

 

 

Registration number S57 FTA

Make RENAULT

Colour SILVER

Oh, maybe it's in mufti

Not sure but to me looks like S57FTA

I missed this yesterday when looking at the First Ministers statement, question is what about historic vehicles? The policy is different from Central Government

I don't have a source as yet but was always under the impression that the RTA only applied to public i.e. adopted roads.

When we went down to Bisley we were always advised that the Police were invited onto the site and could enforce only after permission given by the operators

A post lock binder:-

 

https://ambro.co.uk/post-lock-binders/

Thanks, I could only find this one in what I think was Japanese

Found it - google search for "4 hole pipe binder"

I can find source for the metal parts but not any complete, now I know the name, I feel they are a lot better than ring binders

I don't know, none of mine are to hand.

 

You need to watch out as I think it might be imperial with 72mm spacing between holes. In 1970 JSP 181 Part 1 laid down that all MOD technical publications would be in a loose-leaf format unless the sponsor could justify a bound publication. The paper sizes adopted were ISO ‘A’ sizes and punched to accommodate the new range of binders.

 

Existing publications were to be re-punched to be fit the new binders with 80mm spacing. Some EMERs are pretty ragged being punched for the files with 23 pairs of clasps, then re-punched for 72mm spacing & then again for 80mm spacing.

 

Just something to bear in mind in your pursuit of binders that all your documents are going to be compatible.

Clive

Thanks but these are A4, my new 4 hole punch works on them.

All the best

Richard

Having started to try and get all the documents in proper looking folders with the names down the spine I have run out of these folders, does any one know the official name and order number and a source?

The gap is about 2 inch

Look online with Land Rover Monthly or Land Rover owners magazine, they have been looking at them, in fact I think some of the pages are on repairs to them and give a cost

Went to Witham today, had a look at the Land Rovers, all seem to have the tags in different lengths,

So folks, how many miles do you think you have driven in your MV over the years? And I suppose the next question is how much fuel have you used?!!

Should oil and lubricants be added to the question?

Saw the same vehicle in Land Rover Monthly with a bit of extra information
