    Having just received my report, I was showing it to a friend REME, who when looking at the attached page mentioned that the service history makes no mention of changing the CAM belt, Looking at the report there does appear to be a lack of information I assume this is normal, can any one help?
  5. Surveyor
    Can any anyone help with these, saw them for sale in pairs at Witham, can find no information, do you need 4 or only a pair?

    Does any one know of events roughly from the Hadrian's wall North, or say about 50 miles South? travelling with kids makes it an expedition if further

    Unfortunately the bracket I have is not the pattern the link shows, I have the one below,
  11. Surveyor
    Thanks, have that and a washer, what I have noticed is that the traditional fitting for the axe to the land rover has the fixing flanges folded under mine has them out side of the unit so it can be fixed from the outside, I have the original butterfly wing nut for the original fitting but not having counted the threads suspect the fitting is metric. The picture you supplied shows a rounded nut to hold the axe. Having looked again at my vehicle there is no position to hold the axe as the cab is glass fibre, more digging to do

    I suspected that they had been swapped but wasn't sure, many thanks re the handle, I was wondering where that went, there are no straps where yours is stowed. Just need a butterfly nut with the same thread as the fitting for the axe

    I am working on the external fittings of my land rover And have the standard back, first thing I have noticed is the fixing for the axe is different from the land rover part However, when offering the shovel to the frame, curved side towards the vehicle the bracket number 1 projects further than bracket number 2 and therefore the shovel will not fit, Bracket 3 is to be sorted. The vehicle was upgraded in Tithonus. The shovel is a Pioneer made in the 1960's As yet I have not been able to find an answer can any one help?

    I seem to recall, in the Falkland's war, Max Hastings wrote an article on a correspondent who made a mix of the 24 hour rat pack in one meal, I cant find my copy of the book where he mentioned it.

    I seem to recall these ones in the mid 80's, then went to boil in the bag, one recollection was could never get the boil in the bag hot

    My Grandfather was a warden in Birmingham and he used to drop bin lids over them to smoother the flames, the Germans found out we were putting them out that way. Family legend has it he walked down the path put a dustbin lid on one went to deal with another one and the explosive went off and the bin lid passed closely over his head. So I agree be careful

    Just back on the forum, busy trying to get some work in, reading this I would say the solution was not strong enough The battery charger says fully automatic http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/car-battery-chargers/halfords-fully-automatic-battery-charger So not sure if its the right type to use
  18. Surveyor
    First Attempt, 100 litres of water and a large anode, 20 tablespoons of soda crystals. nothing. reduced anode still nothing, added another tablespoon full Suspect that its the type of battery charger, although 8amp. Thinking of looking at a reducer to 24V and try again.

    That's a coincidence, I spotted the one above on the M6 as well
