    With most blasting its more about a massive volume of air rather than pressure. So big hoses and big compressors are the order of the day. They have a habit of getting blocked easily too, make sure your grit is free of foreign debris. Have a look at the setup i have on my blog: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?3975-Scammell-Pioneer-Restoration Richard

    Hi Joe, Definatly be intersted in some hoops at some point in the future. I think i've actually been to your place to see another HMVFers Scammell that he used to keep in one of your barns. A mutual friend, James Buchan, put me onto your website, looks like you do some top notch steam work too. Got any pics of the hoops? Look forward to seeing progress on your Matador. All the best, Richard

    i think i supplied a workshop and owners manual to the owner in Italy. Well i supplied A pioneer owner with manuals and i can't imagine theres many of them in Italy. If you need manuals i can send them via email. Richard

    Definatly need more british vehicles. Before the Nato member countries started getting rid of their Jimmies, Wards etc it was predominantly british vehicles on the show circuit, they must have all gone somewhere because you don't see many these days, i guess their all coming out of the woodwork now.

    Thanks all for your input. I've spoken to a few white metallers including Terry Formhall who was vey friendly and helpful, but its sooooo expensive, way out of our budget, so after a few words of encouragement from Philb were going to tackle it ourselves. When you sit down and look at it, its not really a complex procedure just alot of work, hence why its so expensive, and its this side of the hobby that i really enjoy. Standby for updates, Richard

    Thats amazing. Presumably money is the driving force, or maybe they've realised that these items will never get the attention they deserve at the IWM due to sheer numbers of vehicles. I wouldn't mind that multibank sherman Richard

    I wish she had! I never met a Ffek yew. All i remember is drinking lots and falling asleep in my "beer" chair.

    yeah if the oil seems ok, i reckon dribbley injector sound like a logical explanation. Gardner enthusiast does a service exchange for £19 each Richard

    does said liquid smell dieseley? and is the sump oil unusually thin and smell of diesel? Richard
  24. Scammell4199
    Yeah i reiterate that one. I will book the Jeep in under my name, but do my bro and dad need seperate forms or shall i just select three people under the paypal thingy? Richard
  25. Scammell4199
