    Go when the website says your vehicle exempt. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax You may need to wait until April.

    It doesn’t have to be a main post office. I have done it at a few different ones. You just need to find one with helpful and competent staff. Where I used to live the little village post office were very helpful and less of a queue than a main post office.

    I’ve changed tax class to historic on 4 vehicles so far. It is very easy. Take the V5 to the post office, tell them what you want to do and walk out 5 mins later with it all sorted. A new V5 appears in the post, the next year you can renew the tax online for free.

    You won’t find new 6.50 tyres, but there are plenty of clones in the 7.50 size. I got Deestones but I believe there are also some branded as Security & Flamingo.

    No. Works fine on both iPhone & PC for me.

    Hi, In your Spartan the intercom and radio are powered separately, but both should be powered from the second set of batteries by the back door. There is a separate master switch for this. Do you have the manuals? Chris

    ISO 10 hydraulic oil. If it’s losing fluid that’s not good and needs investigating.

    When I was looking for someone to rebuild a starter Barry Ring suggested using a Denso high torque starter. We fitted one and have had no issues. https://www.amp-starters.co.uk/Automotive-Equipment/WOSP-Reduction-Gear-Starter-Motors/Willys-Jeep-Starters/WOSP-LMS250---New-Willys-Jeep-97-tooth-flywheel-Reduction-Gear-Starter-Motor__p-5435-599-3460-34217.aspx

    Hi Andy, I suspect Cornwall might be a bit far for TheAmericanPatriot to send his wheels! Chris

    Welcome to CVRTs... the rubber will fall off your best looking wheels, and stay on the scabby horrible ones forever. Age, manufacturer and how they have been stored all play a part, but you can never tell when the rubber is going to come off. I once had the rubber come off on a bend, I turned and it went straight on. The solution to your problem is to keep plenty of spares in stock and buy the newest ones you can find. Chris

    You may think that buying a complete Jeep will save you a lot of money, but bear in mind nearly everything will be worn out or need work in some way. Engine, gearbox, axles, steering box etc parts are not cheap, NOS may not be available and reproduction parts vary a lot in quality. Whatever you think it may cost to do a restoration... it will cost more! Chris
