The HEIU(High Energy Ingnition Unit) is like a vehicle coil on steroids. I doubt it would give you white hair unless you were vey lucky as they are touted that they will kill you.

Only on when spooling up as it runs the ignitor and is the ticking noise. Once the fire is running it's turned off

Damn I am having flashbacks :shocked:

You should have put it in your Raidtrac :cool2:

Is it this one http://www.corestore.org/turbine.htm

??

I understand that the UK Civil Law you refer to ONLY covers the wearing of British Uniforms, and other countries are not covered. Can anyone confirm the ruling?

Has me curious as in Aussie I heard this story, many many years ago.

 

It now looks like this....

 

 

 

What are these wheels?

I seen a silver set on a Pinz and thought they were some atermarket thing, never realised they are MOD rims.

I had paid and had on hold a set of Hutchison rims but the seller sold them again (or couldn't count) so my set disappeared)

ditto.... rebuilds are always good :yay:

at least most the sheet metal is fairly available and common at cheap prices at junkyards.

Just thought of something your military light switch is in the correct position?

Mike

 

Yes the Hazards lights do work and the wipers, Thats why i thought it must of been a fuse (also i did'nt know if they were on the same relay or not)

 

Thanks i will try that aswell and see what it was.

 

Mark

MOD vehicles....... Mine had a seperate flasher unit for the hazard lights.

So if you swap the fuses around and they don't work the problem will be else where.

If elsewhere use a 24v test pen on the flasher unit as one of them should light up if the indicators are on. Look at that terminal and see if its corroded. Also the earth on that is normally the mounting screw so you can undo it and clean it up and screw it in.

If the flasher unit is working one terminal will flash.

A multimeter comes in handy also.

Best of luck.

Not a thread I would typically be interested in as, to wear or not wear, I have no real opinion (apart from the fact I have gone through mid life expansion and my service battledress jacket now fits me like a strippers halter top).

The point that popped up that interested me was the wearing of ranks, insignia and medals. I noticed the military code of practice was raised. I was under the impression it was illegal by civil law.

I realise it is not enforced but I suppose neither was the MV export permit requirements.

Just curious what civi law says about it and what date the law is from, if there is such a law.

Yep I would swap the fuses around first and see if the indicators comes on and something else goes off then it will be fuse.

Do the hazard lights work? Do the windscreen wipers work as the wipers are running off the same fuse.

Mind you still check the fuses as or swap them around as the first option.

If not a fuse :cry:

It is not uncommon for Land Rovers to have bad earths due to corrosion.

There could be 2 flasher units, hence I asked if the hazards are working, if not one. The if you have to get behind the dash, be careful screwing it back in as some bright spark (pun intended) designed the main loom so that it runs in the channel behind the dash. The dash screws work against the loom and at that point there is no fused protection so a screw in the loom results in the loom melting, smoke, fire, etc etc.

Hopefully its a fuse. One of those 24v electrical check pens are very useful at this point.

In order to help with the flush fitting. Some nice tin gaskets were made........

 

 

 

I been meaning to ask.... how did you get the nice ridge around the hole on the gasket as looks very neat an tidy?

Never thought of this before. A good friend of mine has an ex Cypriot Landrover Lightweight Kangaroo (fitted with a 106)

Anyone know of any of the history, pictures etc?

Were they modded by UK or Cyprus?

Looking forward to this rebuild also as I nearly bought one a few years back for peanuts but the ex-wife said no!

:idea: maybe that was one of the reasons she was upgraded to 'ex' status

A restored one here currently for sale for a little over 9000 pounds. Was another place selling them also

as Enigma shows it is a number 69 grenade fromm ww2 but is in fact bakelite not ceramic and quite rare in comparisn to the more normal mills grenade

Nigel

Yep was reading the bit about being bakelite. Must have been this as was way back in '84 and I never wanted much to do with them as a mills is easy, unscrew the bottom and take the fuse out.

Not to be outdone by the great pictures by Mr FESM NDT I also did some follow up on a question I had asked him and found this picture of Supacat MK3 from his neck of the woods.

It is really hard to find info on what they got over here. I think mainly because:

- A lot of websites here as phishing sites or just rubbish

- English is not the primary language of the military sites.

One good site is military photos and have some more Supacats:

I have not seen one in the junkyards 'yet'......

The bike is a Triumph 3HW. There are pictures of it on the web captioned as a Norton. I had wondered where it lived.

Quite a nice looking bike. Also had a Red Moto Guzzi parked next to it.

A pity as most old tin ends up in the scrap bin over this way

Anyone know what this first aid kit belongs to?

I bought it thinking "thats a pretty little box" when in fact it is quite large and was going to cost a small fortune to post. Lucky for me a colleague was travelling over my way

I have not seen another like it (but I only look every now and again)

Nice pictures fyi the rail thing shown in #8 is Whickams Rail Car, also used by the Portuguesse in Goa and the South Vietnamese army in the 1960s,

 

The carrier in #16 is a GM Ct15a

 

and the Armoured car in #20 is a Daimler Mk1

Cheers to yours and others input, all updated. Last year, started rebuilding a Lightweight, this year a Pinz. After reading the posts in here I am keen to go around snapping every MV I see and I travel a lot.

Well end with some Aircraft stuff, with the missus insisting to be included........

I guess I gotta be nice to the missus as working on the Pinz tomorrow

Plus may need a trip to the Junkyards next week :yay:

More Condor and SIBMAS variants

A Mixture of Condor and SIBMAS variants

Hi, that looks to be a very good museum , my other half would not be pleased at the best of times if I was to take her to a place like that or any place with mechanical objects for that matter ,,, as for working Xmas day I don't think I'd get away with changing an engine like in the past , But like I say to her "the animals still need feeding" ,

All the best

I heard there maybe an armour museum.... :idea:

I can plan that one for Valentines day..... as long as I take flowers :-D

Mike,

 

Good photos, thanks. The first photo of a Ferret was mysterious, I see it did not have an engine or transmission, but think it may have been a diesel conversion, maybe by GKL who are based in your region. The telling point is the silencer is on the opposite side.

 

What you thought might be a Staghound is actually a Daimler Armoured Car.

 

Happy Christmas

I thought there would be some quirks on the versions here. For some reason I was having a very close look at that. Then I came back and saw the post regarding a Ferret silencer repair!! Making silencers here, in stainless is peanuts.... I should start a business shipping them :-D

A Hagglund

Another Ferret and Daimler

Another, I don't know off the top of my head, maybe Staghound??

CORRECTION
