here's how the cover turned out

I spoke to the owner today. I know the engine removal was for overhaul and to show me how it is done.

I asked about the abbott as i guessed that there would be interest in it.

The owner informed me that he intends to rebuild the abbott as well, and ,trust me, this man will do it. He has the pack etc. So it is not for sale.

property of juniper leisure, i had the pleasure of removing the engine from the Chieftian last year.

far from abandoned.Only a couple of hundred metres from the Driving sight.

Can you spot the 432?

8 432's

sorry just the one

i'm sick but not twisted, yet

No lifting frame

I'll never need one...............WATCH THIS SPACE

making a roof to keep the weather off her

Yes, I would change all the filters except i would have to take out the POWER PACK to do that.

Who designed that?

King of the twisted spanner Club?

At this time no oil in Coolant, or Water in the Gearbox or Engine

Thanks

by the way, all those numbers are of help. but to tell the truth i've been using 15w40 for all my engines as its a good oil.

i figured moisture but had to check, i thought they might have changed the spec.

need more help

opened the steering unit to check oil level

This is the colour of the oil that was in it.

its supposed to be OMD 75

Is this the correct fluid as OMD 75 is also the Engine oil

The black oil is old stuff that was in the bucket already

i'm new to flashing

(had to be said)

however, from having no charging i now have a working circuit after i flashed it.

i must say i removed the rear alternator from the circuit as it appears to have a short.

so,by following the directions i was given i also discovered this fault.did the flashing restore power or was it the removal of the dodgy alternator............

Ok,

So i've been told by several people that on these old vehicles the residual magnatisim can fade, resulting in a dead alternator.

by applying a current to the correct poles you reintroduce it.

it only takes a minimum charge for a few seconds.

The flashing part is a spark that occurs as you remove the live

warning

if you get a flash as you connect your windings have failed

yes, or i'm to stupid to be scared.......

Hi

in Ireland

heres more pics

we saw it in a large Shed , has not been driven for 3 years. Lots of electrical problems.

Just bought a 432, pictures to follow.

I'm starting the restoration and as usual need help.

Can anyone tell me how to flash the alternator circuit?

they are both not showing charge and i've checked the circuit including fuse on the rectifier box.

yes

got a psu and a lot more spares

starting a new thread for a 432

and the correct answer is

Tyre Barracks, sunny south leb

Sean Devlin was a jack higgins character, not me.

sorry lads the country was the lebanon,

1986

not a tourist friendly spot at that time

where these were still isn,t

some of my photos appeared in military machines

fireflys and about 20 comets with that mad 17 pdr turret

the name of which is strangely correct , when you consider their location

Charlton Heston had a race here.........

humour me

i did walk though a mine field to get those pictures

unknowingly

I know where there were 6 up to recently.

complete

with later paint wearing off, revealing the original markings and numbers.

showed photo's to two dealers

they both said the country was to dangerous

i'll look for the pictures

now remember i need a PSU

look at the last post for a PSU picture

although this is a nice Power Supply Unit as well!

That's a nice Tank

now for my next trick

I need a working Turret PSU

please pm me

latest job for this vehicle

Wedding car

so we can all agree we don't know what it is

so far the best guess is a russian helmet in polish service.

Don't think it's swiss i have one.

i think it may be polish or russian
