  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Any pictures of the trucks or the Girl?
  4. Steve Its the same with some areas of the public sector as well, get rid of the bods who may know the answer, then spend 4 days when the old gits, I am one, could answer quickly. Re stencils PM sent Richard
  5. Gents Thanks for this, so if I just spray the trailer and remove these marks it would be more authentic than having the stencils put on. I do like Clive's comment Richard
  6. Colleagues I would like some help in interpreting thestencils on Penman Trailers, 1 is mine and the others were online at Witham,the stencils appear to differ on all units. First question is what is the font used for this stencil, anFOI came back advising it would not appear to be a recognised practice. From Looking at my trailer and Witham’s pictures: Line 1: 2853-3107 Line 2: MECH Line3: SERV Line 4: Tyre Line 5: PAINT Line 6: REC Line 7: KC Comments; Line 1: Iassumed this maybe a stock number, they are slightly different on each trailer Line 2: Notsure, assume it means mechanical Line 3: Datewhen serviced? Line 4,5,6,7: Anyhelp on this? Not a clue Depending on the trailer, lines 2-7 seem to be grouped in2’s and some have dates assume some could refer to servicing not sure re theother dates. On both trailers, somewhere between Line 5 and 7 there is adate, not sure what this is for? Mine has a date in service 3 months afteraccepted into service, also does not tie up with any date on the MERLIN report. Also on the others the dates are not in the same place. Thanks in advance
  7. Found this for spare parts https://fettlebox.co.uk/british-military-no-2-stove-seal-kit.html I have 5 cookers to service 2 MK 2 2 Mk 12 and a Mk 3, thankfully have the MoD manuals for them. Intend to get the external paint stripped and repainted first, they all seem to have originally been bronze green but sometime resprayed, Mk 3 badly
  8. Last time Withams had one in used it went for £200 plus VAT
  9. Professional curiosity, what's the ground like for digging and stabilisation for the recovery
  10. Thanks, will look at when I get it back from the sprayers, just need to work out where al bits go to and from, will take time as don't want to loose anything, at least I have an electrical pull through if needed
  11. Having sat down and gone through Haynes, Land Rover 110 workshop manual, parts handbook and trawled the web I come to ask those more mechanically minded than me for help. There are 2 levers at the driver side, one for heat and one for the direction of air flow, no matter what position I put them in they immediately return to the midway position, also they feel stiff. At the moment I am thinking I may need to remove and sort out the air handling unit as I assume this is where they both lead to. Has any one experienced this problem and if so is there and easy answer for a man who until recently lifts the bonnet and went "yup its and engine" honest I am getting better looking after this Landie
  12. Always hated cleaning the beast,
  13. Hunted not sure if it helps [h=2]CUSHION,SEAT BACK,V[/h]NSN: 2540998663485 NIIN: 998663485 FSC / Class: 2540 NIN: 8663485
  14. Any good? http://www.relics.org.uk/gpmg-m240-l7-a1-light-machine-gun
  15. having worked with academics, they always in my opinion thought they know best, have you copied a request regarding help to the principle, especially as there seems to be TV interest. Yes I have a nasty mind and have had an Professor trying to brow beat me, he didn't win, his attitude was that only he knew how universities were run, unfortunately for him I used to work for universities and know how to work with them. Do you have the department head who may also be interested in the sudden lack of response.
  16. Make sure you have a Chief Petty Officer Pertwee with you who always had "14 witnesses to say he was in 3 other places when whatever happened happened"
  17. My Daughter bought me an Airfix kit of may land rover and trailer, according to Airfix my trailer can float, yet the trailer gate and bed have holes in it, so not sure how it can float and don't fancy trying the test
  18. Thank you, as a kid remembered watching a lot of WWII films and started to see same clips in different films, always thought I imagined it
  19. Don't you mean Eurostar and what if the tunnel operators go on strike?
  20. Shame the forum doesn't do something like check a trader to help members, and no I have no idea how to set it up
  21. Many thanks for the help, next phase in the project for me
  22. I have been hunting for a supplier to reproduce the MoD plates for show purposes only, i.e. arrive for the show change plates display change plates and leave. Looked on eBay all the suppliers say need Vc5 certificate or do not respond, can any one help?
