Mine was Stuck and when they wrenched it open they did it so hard they broke off the bottom set of mounting rings, so not only do I have to sort out the equilibrator I have to get a welder out to remake the mounting rings.

Hi, no it lays in un-conquered on my workbench. I have tried all sorts. My next step is heat the part using oxyacetylene. So far this is only part not to brake, apart from the cupola which is well stuck Lance

Let me say right upfront I have a vested interest, thanks to a previous video By Bassets I became an instant utube hit with over 30 likes... Thank you for the video I was able to show my long suffering wife what W&P is about, she has even said she will think about coming next year Result as she has the purse

Hi, a friend of mine Rob has a shielder with a gearbox issue as well, I did start another stream and had a useful link passed my way by Diana and Jackie https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615369/2017-00418.pdf

On that large apc, I seem to remember one last year charging around letting rounds off, and few others sneaking off to a field over the back for a play

Was down on Tuesday, nice meeting all sorts of people with lots of vehicles. Shout out to Chris and his dad, thanks for the tips... my second visit so no veteran yet only downside is the cost, paying £600 to bring my Spartan down was a little rich this year and paying to bring it in as well , won’t be showing every year. Attended 2 local events and the amount of support was overwhelming even free food and tea.... even a little towards fuel, didn’t have the heart to tell them it wouldn’t have covered the cost of warming her up..

A reply to the silly question, it is illegal for anyone to make numbers plates without the correct documents. There used to be ‘show’ plates but even these are illegal to produce without documentation. i am sure someone will tell what the regulation actual is Lance

I did ask about NOVA but was told I didn’t need one as the Spartan had not left the UK, one less hoop I had to jump through.... Lance

I had 2 packages form DVLA, one was the V5 the other was all the documents I had sent in, and arrived 2 days apart. MVT dragged their feet but DVLA only rejected my application once. Once I got the reject letter (because of proof of age) I called the person who signed the reject letter and had a chat. She told me exactly what she wanted, which I provided and got it sorted within 10 days that second time. only took me 4 months to get together the proof everyone wanted, as it was a private sale and had NO documentation with it when purchased Lance

I have been very tardy, Thanks to all concerned I did get my registration document. A vehicle history record from Bovingdon, MVT released a document confirming the vehicle in question was a Spartan and DVLA issued a V5. First issue sorted, next issue is how not to cheese off everyone on the roads as I drive around learning how to drive this 10ton monster such fun Lance

Any person acting like that for me would have been shown the door very quickly. Having said that I only had 2 dealings with them. The first was a viewing of 4 CVRT’s which were wrecks, but the guy escorting me was friendly enough. The second was buying a CVRT drivers chair, which had a crack in the runners which they failed to mention or show.

thanks for the links, I have sent emails to both with descriptions and pictures, hopefully they will respond

A Star is about to be born

Shame I got cut out but understandable, was a great day with lots of motors

Hi, I am talking about a replacement (thanks Chris)so looks like I might be trying glue as an experiment. I wondered as there appears to be some “glue” on the rim and knowing how ‘inventive ‘ people can be. Of course this may have been stuck on in a previous life which is why it failed now Cheers

Hi, they have had 4 cvrt’s for the last 8 weeks (or about that) so yes as one lot end the next starts. I did try to find out more about numbers and types but got nowhere. Another rumour I heard at the pub that some are being brought for export, driving prices up.. but I had a few by then

Hi Everyone, Had a great day at the military day at Booker airfield, however when driving home one of the "rubber" outers on the road wheel became separated from the wheel. I recovered the rubber and rather than buying a new one thought about gluing the rubber back on to the wheel... Has anyone done this before and knows it works, or worse knows it doesn't? I am planning to use a road jack to lift the wheel free of the track place glue on both surfaces and then force the ring back on the wheel. The glue is one of the 2 part jobs available at all good hardware stores. Am I being silly? Cheers all Lance

I did enquiry about these CVRT's and have watched the quite closely. The prices are going up started at around £2,500 but Friday's one went for £6,500. It's hard to see exactly what may or may not be there but Brightwells say there is no on site viewing. I did catch some CVRT's at Walthums and they varied so much, some had been stripped bear and exposed to the elements for years and were full of water. Others actually moved under there on steam, but that was then. I hope that is helpful

Hi Andrew, I would appreciate the measurements and if its anything but straight a picture to. I did think about checking the level after putting in the correct amount but the it’s only just been filled up so was saving that till I do an oil change.

I have found the documents and have downloaded them...… Thank you... My reading has been sorted for a while Lance Below is me not trying and I am sorry for that everyone... as penance I will take my Spartan to a charity event this Saturday for free Booker Common, High Wycombe Hi, where did you upload them to, as I am still working out my wat around this site? Lance

thank you worked a treat and has been filled in and printed out

I have a Spartan CVRT which is in a secure location near High Wycombe, I am desperate for somewhere to run it other then the public roads. Having said that if you also had somewhere close by to store it long term I would be so happy Lance

Hi, yes of course always wanted to be a video star. I don’t have a field so it will have to be car park or small road run Lance

The suggested print out seems ruined by text over the “known by” box
