I did find a list but can't quickly drop onto the same website page Some info here about 10 most popular car battery sizes http://www.advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/carbatteriescomparedbytype.html also this is comprehensive but you have got to trawl through http://www.tayna.co.uk/Numax-Car-Batteries-S219-1.html 096 is a popular size for 2.5 / 3 litre petrol and 2 litre diesel.

I can't comment on injuries. Even if you had a disclaimer notice would it be legal, maybe ask a solicitor if you have any contacts. As to rides never charge just ask for a donation. Again I can't comment if any legal implications nor recall exact wording but I have seen several suggesting a minimum amount.

I am replying using a HP Laptop which is P3 1GHz 512MB ram with a PCMCIA wifi card running Windows 2000 SP4 and the lastest version of Firefox. It is not really fast enough for video but is fine browsing websites and forums, checking email, eBay etc. I keep my main desktop PC running XP SP2 offline minimising risk of viruses.

I just saw this on another site but see others have beaten me in starting a thread. I feel for the guy but agree without guards it looks lethal to inquisitive children, not to mention himself should he slip off his seat. Certainly to use in any place where the public might be even if private land he needs adequate insurance. However needing a license for a vehicle that has 3.8mph max speed is ridiculous. As to noise on a beach hopefully he would be considerate and use simply to reach the tideline but not drive about all day. The same applies to use only in appropriate open locations. I guess he has a more appropriate scooter for town centres etc.

After my last post I then had this within a few minutes If I have any more issues I will try Opera and report.

This is the first time I have been able to access the site, never mind try to log in, for a week. Also this is my third attempt to post this message. The first time I hit reply and got the http://www.pathfinderservices.com can not be found screen again. So I took the opportunity to grab it to post. Second time when I hit submit reply I was back to the screen again.

If you never had CD's either there is a recovery partition / application on the hard drive or there are installation CD images ready to burn on the hard drive - legally some method of recovery must have been supplied. In any case so long as you have the XP label with the 25 character key and it is readable you can re-install with any unbranded XP home CD of the same level e.g. with SP1, SP2, SP3. If originally SP1 or SP2 any CD that is not SP3 will probably accept the key. Ask around - if you get stuck I have a couple I have used to get people out of trouble but need to check versions. You will also need to download your drivers and antivirus software (eg avast) and firewall (eg Comodo) and store on a CD or USB memory (virus free of course) before you start. I have met this print spooler issue as a result of a virus, I recall a repair patch exists but a good chance you have other corruption too. After 5-6 years a re-install is a good idea anyway. As others have posted at best Windows 7 on a 5-6 year old PC will be disappointing.

If the details on this page are correct http://army-uk.com/equip.php?ID=370 the width is 2.9m but I don't know width limit in C&U regs. This is one Foden thread http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?7946-Military-Fodens

Battery prices have increased significantly in the last couple of years. Once you know the size(s) that will fit check prices at http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/ and also prices on their eBay pages compared to your local suppliers

I have always used to login at top right and actually had not noticed the lower one until you posted this screen capture. Using Firefox I have had no problems with the top box.

IE = problems + easiest entry route for viruses etc since it is an integral part of Windows. Your preferred choice of Firefox, Opera etc much safer as relatively stand-alone applications.

As suggested by Mike65 CutePDF writer is the best of the free ones I have used that work like a printer. There is an application, I can't recall the name now but can look at work, that will split and combine PDF files if that helps at all. For a manual if more than a few pages as suggested by Stone if you can find someone with a scanner / all-in-one office machine that will directly output a PDF file that is your best option - even if it costs you a few pints !

Please correct me if wrong but AFAIK since WR963 is a MR2 / AEW2 it never had vipers fitted and that is why it survives and is currently being returned to flying condition - Note this does not mean it will fly again not least because CAA may never give approval. It is no longer owned by Air Atlantique but ASCET. It was the MR3's that had the Vipers due to additional weight of equipment and these were withdrawn much earlier because spars had all reached their stresslife limit due to the increased weight.

Are we getting confused here :??? I don't know the current situation but all engines were in place and run up on the Coventry Shackleton at the last air show.

To boot from USB Hard Drive connect the drive and if required separate power supply then boot the computer, enter the BIOS and go to this screen. Press enter on Hard Disk Boot Priority All the drives the BIOS can see will be listed Move the one you want to boot from to the top of the list Save settings, exit BIOS and let the system boot ....... hopefully

All those batteries sound like a bargain if good quality. Comparing a car / van engine to what ever lump is in your explorer that may well not get started for a while so need some churning to get fuel in the right places I would spend the extra on the larger 900A cold crank batteries. Off topic but I have just replaced my car battery. The last one was Ducellier branded 4 year warranty and now only 3 months over that :-( The car is 1.9TDi but a big battery size 110 (720A cold crank and 70AH capacity). My last car was 1.8TD but had a much smaller / cheaper battery - size 065 I recall which had ample starting power. Halfrauds price for a 110 is now £119 with 3 year warranty and best I could find within 30 mile round trip to collect was £75. I found Alpha Batteries in Rochdale and that their prices are better on eBay. OK the battery is not branded but I paid £54 delivered and it has a 4 year warranty. The battery was sent yesterday, delivered early afternoon today and now fitted - not a 10 minute job as the battery is at the back of the engine bay and plastic covers have to be removed for replacement.

Nick, Have fun if the Road Run goes ahead. Looks like there could be significant snow which would not bother you but could be too risky for others. How many are hoping to take part, what route is planned and what times? Depending on weather, roads and other arrangements it could be worth a drive out with my cameras. David.

Hi Nick, I saw Floyd at Astwood Bank this year too, but only recently found this forum so didn't know it was your first outing. David

I enjoy visiting vehicle rallies and particularly those that have a good ex-military vehicle section like Bloxham, Kemble and Welland. The ring displays by the ex-military owners are always interesting, for example Bloxham always attracts several Scammell Explorers. The posts here giving vehicle histories and restoration details and progress are interesting.
