No hehe, her name Is Christy, seems nice :-D

Im 90% sure the return spring was there... unless its just worn..

Find it odd it does not return at all, well not very fast

Never have liked pig brakes! grrr

My master cylinder has been repair twice now, as it leaks at the end where the push rod goes in.

It finally gave up the ghost and when the pedel was down it would not return!

So alas i have replaced it, now it leaks from the filler at the top, where the header tank goes in, no big deal just needs cleaning and looking at.

But my brake pedal still does not return? am i stupid and when this is bled will work fine? is it just air in the system? or does it sound like my hydrovac is shot?

hmm, i like to ask before i carry on you see...

any ideas? i hate drums systems!

ill be at the last laughton show? i get confuzzled with laughton and ringmer? what sthe august one? ill be at that

thanks for the support, i like this MV family thing... who pays the pocket money?

Im convinced that Cliv you know everything!

Im going to ask the BBC to put you on tele with your own show!

"Live with Clive" or "at 5 with Clive"

Just a general chat show...

Or could be like fred dibnah series, with humbers

nice tracks, any others i need form this era?

please help me

I have just secured a new home, put the deposit down tommorrow.

Nice house in the outskirts of Brighton, owned by a 24 year old girl, quite cute:)

All inc with wireless!!! move on the 27th!

House party? MV's in the street?

Oh yeah, i need to explain that one to her, hence im sharing... she never asked about the Pig? oh well hehe

Not the best write up i have seen...

Much like a lot of owners history boards i have seen. common mistakes

1. date of build 1952-54?

2. 4.5 rolls engine?

3. mk1, when its a mk2

4. fv 1612 /fv1611 mistakes

a few other things that i notice

Canvas roof covers on mk2's! why?

1. made in 1945??? since when?

2. A and B vehicles? where that come from?

3 Korea? never seen a Pig there!!

4. 432 in Belfast? since when? no tanks been there, except a bulldozer

i have given up counting the mistakes.. what a load of drivel :-D

next question for you!!!

compressors! what size will i need for that? can ihire them? or buy one?

ok, i need to know the logical solution with minmal effort

I have tried paint stripper, 5 coats and it just work, so would be very messy and expencive so I am ruling this out.

Heat gun, does not touch military paint

grinder, works but messy and scores metal

Sandblast, great but would cost me near the cost of the vehicle!

what have you all done?

I have a budget of about £200

And help of about 5 people?

access to power, will be done outside

what are your solutions pretty people?

May sound dumb but i have never taken on such a large task!

Hurray! for Jerry!

BBQ paint looks the business!!

Painted one coat, and looked shiney and nasty! i was upset! then alas dries to a super hard and mat finish!!! great stuff!!!

ill post a pic when its dry!

Ok i have a few and the finish varies, blue'ing, as i think its called.

I want to rub one down and refinish it again, what would be the best thing to use? rather than black paint?

Also, SLR stock (wood) what would the best varnish finish be for this?

Help would be appreciated

:-D

Ill have to see if i can book the time off, As i work every other weekend and thats on my shift.

But if i can i shall be hitching a ride with people, As the Pig is not ready to Roll as yet..

Will be nice to see you all again, like a big unusual famiily

Is it a money box for the RSM?

I have all the Clangers on DVD want a copy? i also have 5 clangers that whistle and one that now makes white noise and gargles as the batteries are going

Some one tell; me when is it!!!!!!!!!! :cry:

When is this happening?

My PIg shall not be ready for about 10 weeks (yeah right!)

Can i get a lift ? i see alot from sussex, i pay fuel and i have tons of kit:)

Im 27 years younger than mine :whistle:

Hi, Just to let you all know, I shall be moving from the 31st April.

Not sure where to as yet, will still be Brighton.

Sorry for any lack of correspondence, PM's, Emails and getting things done.

The breakup was a pain and has taken a lot of my time.

I did not realise the amount of kit i have the in the flat! Christ!

The Pig has also taken a back seat at the moment! just no time, a job that saps my time as well as the fun of moving everything i own and finding a new home...

Ill be back to normal soon

Hope your all well:)

Paul

In future can some on tell me! not been online and it has vanished! get a redirect up!!!

No offence committed? what about afray? or firearm in public place? concealment of weapon? god sake... might as well take my SLR to asda

i am gutted, no so much shocked, but upset as i feel i shall be loosing my best friend.

But life goes on...

might go travelling for a month to clear my head

Its in her name, so not my choice, im sure i can find a room for rent, if not i may move out of brighton a bit, and take my pig with me.. at least i have a car now, so i can drive to work
