    Trying Richard! Not been able to find one yet, and the guy selling the WOT2 won't answer his phone or reply to emails. I could probably drive the Sabre to the Victory show, I'd rather do that than drive a truck! Chris

    I think I just heard a 'whoosh' .....

    The discussion will go on forever, but I can't resist one more comment..... how many Hotchkiss Jeeps went ashore on D-Day?
  4. sirhc
    There's nothing interesting about 300 jeeps parked next to each other. This show is just down the road from here, if I wasn't going on holiday I might have gone. Sounds like next year I won't even get the chance. Chris

    Is this the one that was on ebay?
  6. sirhc
    There's a nice one here... http://www.motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classifieds/-216/posts/1_Motorcycles/5_Classic_Bikes/43_1943_Matchless_G3LEXWD.html

    Jack, There are plenty here... http://www.morlock-motors.de/index.php?car=151 I wouldn't mind one myself! Chris

    Not the photography prize though!

    If I bought that it would bother me that it wasn't a real one every time I looked at it.

    There are some nice Lightweight Land Rovers on ebay at the moment in that price range. The Lightweight is a purpose built military vehicle and ideal to start with as they're easy to work on and you can get the bits. If you want something ww2, then you'd be looking at a vehicle needed total rebuild for that price. Chris

    Mick, If the batteries are charged they will stop charging, whatever the capacity, so you shouldn't have a problem. Chris

    Looks like one of these... http://www.witham-sv.com/infopage.php?ID=1787&Overide=1 Chris

    Jon, I think there's another part which connects to the trailer chassis to take the weight. I think it bolts on between the tub and those to lifting eyes. There's a Withams sale soon, might be worth going for a look to see if you can find one and get some photos. Chris

    Mick, You will need to find out where it was sold off. I think it was probably bought back here and then went through the auctions, but it was before my time so can't say for sure. There were a few ex-HK Saracens for sale a few years ago. I don't think it will be a problem. Chris
  15. sirhc
    Yes, but they were shipped over after the MoD sold them off by various dealers. http://www.khakicorpsimports.com/ Chris

    Mike, You need the same paperwork to get anything registered. I didn't have a release form for the Ferret or Fox, but was able to get dating evidence from the Tank Museum. Without seeing what dataplates are in the Saracen it's hard to know what you'll need to do, but it should be possible to date it from the contract number if this is on the plate. You will need a letter from the MVT/Tank Museum etc and you can present this along with the insurance, MOT (or exemption) and V55 in order to register it. Chris

    Nigel, It may be that I have a different version, or I have pages that were removed by an ammendment. The propeller dwg is pg 187 in my book, I have pages 172 - 190. I'll send you a PM. Chris

    OM13 is a very light oil, it's almost like water. SAE30 is thicker, but still thinner than a modern engine oil. Val, I think you're going to need to check every lubricant you've used and make sure it's suitable. Any which are wrong will need a thorough flushing through, or you could just park the Saracen up for a few years and wait for it all to drain out! Chris
  19. sirhc
    I went about a week ago, and it was also £7! Chris
  20. sirhc
    Quite possibly, and this may explain why the hose burst. SAE30 is not equivalent to OM13 - ISO10 hydraulic fluid is. SAE30 is OMD110, which is engine oil. Read through this, it's not 100% relevant but might help... http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/lsm/dhmg/fer-oils.html Chris
  21. sirhc
    Val, Where are you putting the SAE30? In the engine is fine, in the gearbox is ok, anywhere else and I think you may need to read the manual again! Chris
  22. sirhc
    Just had another look, that is a Fox commanders seat sticking out of the top!
  23. sirhc
    Rick, It's been on there a few times. Has some dodgy mods, such as the lights, and some worn out tyres. The bins look ok though, so a reasonable project at the right price. You know you want one..... Chris
  24. sirhc
    Phil, If I remember correctly B disconnects the gearbox from the engine. Chris

    The gun in the Scorpion is not the same as the gun in the Saladin, the Scorpion version is a smaller lightweight version.
