scammell 7377

Thanks mate mine in every pic then chunk and dep a swell taken this yeas wartime in the vale

It has been suggested to them but like you I've not heard any thing that said we have just had entry forms so we may here if there's a special or theme this year soon so if it's a yes them someone will be burning lots of midnight oil ahem :-):-)

As the first explorers were built in 1950 just wondering if any events are planing to mark the occasion of there 65th birthday maybe along the lines of most gathered together ect ?

When I tried to get mine a few years ago it was £ 20 weather they found yours or not and mine they had lost I have discovered my explorer was with the qoy until 1989but they were only formed in the 70's I think

Where did you download it from I tried to get mine from the rlc without success

one more thing re steering i didnt check my tyre pressure because they looked right but as it turned out wernt i pumped them up and that made huge improvement

is it me ?? i cant veiw the attachments

well done on your purchase if youd like to take a seat in the corner the doctor will see you soon but as you may have guessed you may have caught scammellitus its very very contagous and im afraid incurable my steering is fine in a straight line but um interesting on mini roundabouts when driven with vigor brake adjustment is standard for drums hand brake off jack up once choked adjust till binding then back off a little rear axle is the long rods on top of the walking beams nuts may well be seized and fronts asquare adjuster on the bottom of the drum oh and do the rears as a pair ie have both the same side of the ground together and ive made a box spanner with a half inch drive socket welded to it for ease andy

well it looks like 2 people in the bidding so hope she gets a good home ,be a good one idve thought as antar mike did a lot to it

:D:D im a truly luckey chap then mine seems to have a later gear train mod :D:D

thanks for sharing mate , i do like it when the old chaps come up and say hello at abbey hill steam rallythis weekend we were aproached by a ex reme mechanic (80 years of age )sadley he had to get back home before we had a chance to get him back behind the wheel or do some of those outstanding jobs he had been trained for

very rare i dont recall how many they made i only saw one when i was driving and that drove right around me as i was bogged down in a feild very good off road but as i recall plated at 38 tons and a payload of 21 ? tons so they never caught on when was the last time anyone saw one on the road

thanks andy , thats exactlly what i have minus the padded bit but i can always make that up if i have it right the angle irons bolt to the rear of the cab and you remove - invert the rest for stand or seat ? as you have taken it out of daisy can you just nip out a mo and take a pic of it in situ please :-D:-D

hello all amongst the 2 trailer loads of explorer bits ive recently bought was what i took to be some junk to be weighed in but im now told is a seat come stand for use to veiw from the cuppola can anyone post a pic or drawing of one in place and or in use thanks andy

be carefull mate i built a trailer to tow behind my 1980 z 1100 made to legal sizes it was a proper pig to tow the suspenion was way to hard rather than take the bumps out one side would take off momenteraly causing a very bad wobble i made my tow bracket myself but you could in those days

thanks for your responces the hcvs seems to require you to have there insurance fair enough but im already insured ill have to look at it come renewal time the autohome site doesent seem to cover larger vehicles but your not the first to recomend them so looks like its on the phone moday morning thanks again andy

i have what pretty mutch amounts to a spare scammell in the shed mate i just need to know i can get it back from the other side of the country if the worst should happen im hoping to do w+p this year thats best part of 200 miles away

hi can anyone suggest or recomend some form of cover to get a explorer and trailer home in the event of the unthinkable breakdown ? andy

you might like to search craftmaster paints ive had good results its either spayable or brushable and they match samples

i work for the electricity board probably largest in the uk installing but mainly repairing buried underground power cables 415 volts live and 11000 and 33000 volts turned of prior to that drove hgv and pretty mutch all types of plant

the heater on mine is fitted to the inside of the rear cab paneljust off the floor behind where your right heal is, its a coil of pipe fiulled with water piped from the rear axle oil cooler so is hot a 24 volt fan blows the air in the general direction of the winch operating lever it really makes no dicernable differance if you dont have 1 i really woudent lose sleep over trying to find 1 and any way proper drivers always have the front window open sorry not bright enough to post photos andy

you will need a cummins L 10 mine was fitted by the previos owner you can look at younguns explorer blog to get an idea of what you up against andy

a nice reliable MEADOWS diesel might you mean ? like , just for arguments sake the 1 from floyd :D:D

if they are lumping moter caravans in with living vans and calling them vehicles are they talking about something self propelled and not purely a trailer

ok i can clearly see from this that the carrage of goods or the ability to carry them needs a mot of the relevent class but ive long been of the beleif that living vans were mot exempt i know for perhaps 10 or 12 explorer owners towing binners brockhouse , sentinel , rubbery owen office / stores trailers soley for rally/ show accomodation not mot ing are we all breaking the rules ?
