Many thanks, I have a tin of the paint in the shed

Also a correction for the name, always learning

At least putting queries on this counts as CPD

Many thanks, the sand is still coming out of the box.

Just going through the parts, Know a couple of parts are missing but need to do a proper check

Richard

I am looking at repainting the mast and "hedgehog" for the UK can any one advise the BS for these.

Regards

Surveyor

Asking a question, I need to repair the Guy ropes for the mast, sticker on box say it was ISAF, does anyone know what the rope was to do this.

Thanks in advance

Steering wheel lock disconnected battery and at night cars blocking my "Tattie" 110 also CCTV

Clive

Many thanks, your knowledge is unprecedented always your comments

Richard

Gents

Thank you all for the answers, just need to crawl under the thing, wash down and remove the small specs of rust then paint when I get some

Richard

I want to reply to help but I don't want it to sound like I am making fun of you.

 

Quite honestly as long as it is some kind of bright white rather than a shade of white I would say you are good to go, especially if a unit did their own spruce up of a vehicle with whatever white was on hand.

 

I applaud you for trying to be accurate and correct but way under the wagon on the rear diff any white will do the job IMHO, matte, semi gloss or gloss would be a more interesting decision.

I have no worries that people may have seen and laughed at the question but I am not worried.

As my father always said how many others are thinking the same question but are afraid to ask.

Its a pulse jet, basically the same as on the V1.

And no safety gear if it goes wrong

I have hunted on the forum and looked at Clive's article on British Army paint but can find no reference for the white paint used under vehicles, usually on the differential to reflect the convoy light.

My 110 Land rover is needing to have this cleaned and sprayed, can anyone tell me the specification for this paint.

Thanks

I had some more modern ones, but rotted as didn't stow them away correctly, just watch condition of them

Tony

Thanks, the key does turn in the barrel, just thought I'd ask the question before OH SH1T what's gone wrong now as bits fall around me

Just been advised that the locks I have were only issued for a year, also been advised that the Series III would fit but would need to alter the doors.

Has any one dismanteled the latch and what issues do I need to look out for?

A wonderful story - well done to you all!

Agreed, and can we have pictures?

As I don't seem to get links working at present, probably the idiot typing this

Steve

Yes at the moment, I do not know if they will charge as yet, they say they are about 20 years old found in the Land Rover

Not sure what I am going to do with them yet.

Richard

Tony

Many thanks, I will ask when up at the Land Rover work shop to see if they can show me, the leak is only on one side.

Richard

The locks I have for info

Tony

Sorry gone over my head, learning mechanics from scratch, showed the garage a picture before registered for the road and they think its a seal, it leaks all the time.

Richard

Hi Matt, I now have this truck, it was at J Hirst scrap metals of St Mary Bourne Andover, they are now closed down. I have owned it since about 2012.

 

Alan

It looks unusual as previously stated, I am glad it was saved

I suspect they are standard Land Rover Anti burst locks. Most of the usual Landy suppliers should have them, just shop about.

Tony

Strangely enough I have it booked in for a Landie workshop to look at the differential leak, something outwith my capabilities, they are going to look at the cab heating at the same time.

Best news is they are going to show and teach me, great for a local garage to me.

Richard

Having looked at the MoD parts manual think will have to see cost of new latch, may be safer than trying to take it apart

Iain

That looks like the lock I have, it used to lock when I lifted the lever then shut the door and turned the key, now it doesn't have to look at it soon as I will be taking the Tank as my son calls it for a trip to give it a good work out

Richard

Help needed

I have an issue with the door lock, yes still learning, the key turns the lock barrel but does not lock, I assume it means the latch could have gone.

Any advise on how to check what's wrong and if latch how to change the latch

the latch is the type with a "lever"

Thanks in advance

Seeing these last few posts especially the one with the rifle reminds me that my father said his father was in the bicycle battalion in WW1, cant find any thread on here though

Any pictures of the trucks or the Girl?
