  1. Going off topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Guard_(United_Kingdom)
  2. Selling on behalf of the family of a friend who passed away. This Ferret has had a recent reconditioned gearbox, runs and drives well. Most of the parts are there to complete it, sadly he did not see it finished. The family would appreciate a quick sale so please no time wasters. We feel that £8000 is a fair price, road registered with the smoke dischargers and deactivated .30cal included. Located in Nottingham. Please send me a PM if interested. More photos on request.

  3. Have you checked the oil level? Might be worth changing it anyway.
  4. I'd start here: http://eshop.lmslichfieldltd.com/
  5. Diana, Don't have one handy to measure, but can confirm they are larger. Chris
  6. Try this: http://alvissabre.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/removed-access-plate-to-fuel-tank-to.html?m=1 Chris
  7. I'll have to see if I can remember where I put them but I may have some. Will check on the weekend.

  9. I fitted one from a Mini I believe, it worked ok, Clive is the man though!
  10. Robin, When I am am back home I'll look up the Sabre turret weight but I am sure it is a lot less than a Scorpion, maybe 1000kg. Being a Sabre you might be able to remove it with the ring and adaptor, but it's probably easier just to undo the ring of bolts inside the turret. Leave the basket in place, just undo the Y bracket at the back. Chris

  12. I agree the standard of CMV has gone downhill, we have gone from 2 monthly magazines which were mostly ok to 1 which is hard work not to launch across the room. Take pages 30 & 31 of the latest issue, there is an article about W&P. Rather than walk around the showground and take photos of the interesting, rare and well restored vehicles on display they have walked up to the first stall in the stalls area and taken photos of the half a dozen vehicles R&R were selling. This double page spread has 8 photos, 6 of them are the 6 vehicles on that stall! If that's not enough, the next page of the article has 5 photos, 4 of them taken in the stalls. (Incidently the same half track on page 30 is pictured again on page 72) I first thought this could just be laziness, but I guess it might be more likely that the editor doesn't know one vehicle from the next and the vehicles in the stalls often have something in/on/near them with a description? The Streaker article wound me up too. It appears to be well researched at first glance, but it does contain mistakes and again suggest laziness. The final paragraph says one survives according to the Alvis Fighting Vehicle Society website and asks where have they all gone. A call or email to the AFV society would have established that there were only 2, and they were both at Tanks, Trucks & Firepower last year. I did once write an article for CMV, it was supposed to be published and was even featured on the 'Coming next month' page, but it was never published and I don't know why, so I won't bother again.

  13. To get the highest price possible? That's Withams paint shop in the background and it does say direct from the MoD.
  14. J60s fitted with Lumenition electronic ignition have a warning sticker on the top of the distributor.
  15. You will find that almost all of the vehicles in private hands are fitted with electronic ignition as they were upgraded by the MoD. You can get hold of an electronic distributor for less than £100 if needed.
  16. Date added: 18.05.2013, 05:16 You might be lucky, but it is probably sold.
  17. Ok, the flasher unit is easy to replace so I'd try a new one if I were you. You should find one that fits on eBay.
  18. That's a pretty common horn, fitted to many post war vehicles and still in use today.
  19. Had wheel wobble from hell on my 110 Wolf too. That was the swivel bearings in the end. Have a read here: http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Wheel_wobble_cure.htm Chris
  20. Have you checked the drive belt for tension and condition?
