    there will be a day soon when the sun is shining and you're driving the panzer at a show somewhere and it will have been worth all the effort.

    when news first spread of it being disposed of i rang the museum and spoke to the female curator that explained it had been scrapped. i then asked for the details of the scrap yard but she wouldn't provide them and that was the end of that. i was really angry and disappointed and vowed to save whatever i could in future. which is how i ended up in the mess i'm in now

    i bought two this year a 436 and a 434 and both have failed gearbox heat exchangers. i'm going to bypass the heat exchanger and just return the oil to the box and see how the temps are. by the way the heat exchanger cools the gearbox, steering box, hydraulic fan drives and engine oil

    i recently bought a smart charger from ebay for £13.99 and was happy with it's performance. it will charge 6 12 and 24v. its yellow and black and looks a bit like a multimeter, the manufacturer is katbo

    i don't have any to spare but you can repair them yourself if you are mechanically minded

    i believe it is quite easy to fix the solenoid as they mainly fail due to bad contact on the smaller coil

    hydrochloric acid (brick cleaner) is excellent and will clean the copper like new in seconds but it will dissolve aluminium and also zinc from brass so use it wisely
