to original poster my reply is going to upset someone or get me banned off HMVF site. But here goes the whole back story is a complete fabrication to pander to the naive longings of someone who wants to buy an overpriced item laid under a sheet. if you want it go buy it get a receipt.

basically look at your licence to see what you can drive. Do you get reminders to renew that include a GPs form to complete

my feeling is the dvla only need to know the address of the owner not where the vehicle is kept. They do this so they can keep Track and inform owner and relevent authorities when there is need to contact owner. Nobody gives a toss where the vehicle is even the insurance companies only ask is it stored in a garage not were

Little tale of woe about two vehicles not Man that happened about 8 years ago. Two Turkish Iveco artics pulled into a services near to where i live for fuel and overnight stop. Their cards where not accepted for fuel so they paid cash for overnight stop. They then parked up up and got a container and sucked 25 litres out of one and put it into the other.Next morning one started up and drove away. the other would not start. local Iveco agent was called out to diagnose fault.about 6 oclock in evening we were called out to tow artic to Iveco agent 4 miles away. Prepared to tow prop of suspended jumped up parking warden said he had over stayed his welcome £120 before he could leave. driver paid Towed 4 miles to iveco agent computer plugged in all sorted 20 minutes . prop shaft replaced ready for off. Problem one that had less fuel in than night before compter reckoned it was leaking derv and such a fire Hazard. Why no fix on site lap top only works inline of site of a transponder cemented in to wall at Iveco agent total bill for whole cock up will have been around £1300

apologies just trying to find a picture to put on and remembered it was a morris MRA1 i put the twin wheels on. Could not find pictures either

i can vouch for above statement i put a set of twin wheels of a commer artic on mine believe 10.50 x20 rolling radius was roughly the same no problem with transmission wind up. but sheared n/s half shaft twice and wrecked diff once in a year. But that was probably due to some of the insane jobs we tried to do with it on recovery

You Have in a very arse about face way answered the original posters question. No as a vehicle collector you aint got a cat in hells chance of owning and running an ex army man unless you have a degree in computer science and at least £1500 in equipment and some contacts to people in the Know. One question If i bought a 4*4 man ex Mod could i strip it out and make it run turn of key with out out paying my life savings to Rhienmettall

to the rear of cab n/s next to master switch you have to take steel battry box lid of to get at battries

Bit more fuel on the fire I am willing to accept this is a Diamond T and the illusion at the front end is caused by shadow camera angle etc. Indeed i think it is the only answer. So you guys out there have identified the tank i believe. So could this have been a private civilian company picking up a tank to take it to the North east were many where cut up. i know many of the civilian used cobbled up trailers made from ex mod parts

from memory 40 yrs ago when i owned a civilian crusader it was the same cylinder as fitted to a land rover dont know which one. about 3 years ago seals went on our Foden EKA i went to a local dealer in ex mod landrovers he passed me a cardboard box full of rubber seals told me to pick which i wanted. and leave something in tea box. all where landrover master cylinder/slave seals and dust covers

Bit more done

couple of more suggestions. How about Scammell 100 or one of those six wheeler Guy artillery tractors

think you will agree its an antar its the date thats wrong

100% that truck is not a diamond T indeed if i would go for Antar i question the date

eu.perkins.com/parts/online‎ will be able to supply most parts filters gaskets etc any local commercial motor factor one common problem i have over the years is water pumps both on ex mod and civilian people ask about £500 S/H or new we had a company rebuild them 48hour turn around less than £120 ‎

any body who is an agent for Perkins engines as thats who made it.Was fitted in many brands of commercials they will be able to get parts

long time ago asked for some info. Well i finally got one and this pandemic has finally meant i have time to work on it

just looked it up august 2008 was called out RTA a 19 york.On arrival 8 wheel man truck hit up arse by 4 wheel man both on driver training. pulled in to a layby for sandwich one had stopped one had not. to be honest 4 wheeler was a mess eight wheeler only had rear light smashed one side while loading 8 wheeler on to our low loader engine started cranking over nobody flinched so carried on did it again i asked what the fs going "Oh dont worry thats Man in Germany trying to work outs whats wrong the are trying to get in a position to enable us to limp home

nato hitch just removed from Leyland T244 looks brand new still got paper stickers on it certainly never been used no arguing over price its free for collection PM for post code

Many thanks truly appreciate info Regards Steve

Rolling radius of tyres eg centre of hub to top of tyre = ? wheel base believe = 3940 mm ? centre front axle to front bumper overhang believe = 1314 mm ? centre front axle to rearmost of cab = ? centre rear axle to back of rear spring hanger = ? Chassis height from floor = ? say near middle of truck Chassis depth chassis width is chassis top flange straight back to front /parallel side to side from cab to rear one last ask when looking from side is top of rear wheel above/ below top of chassis rail Really would be a big help if anyone could advise on these thanks in advance Steve I am hoping to convert to a small/medium recovery /winching vehicle but with a bit of a difference to the run of the mill

Hi can any body help me I am after dimensions for a Leyland/daf 244 have trawled the internet but apart from overall width length and height I have drawn a blank from all my usual sources. I will be purchasing one later on this year and hoping to get a head start on the piece of kit that I hope to fit

almost six years since this happened is everbody convinced this was a worthwhile project or an absolute waste of hard earned publicly donated cash

to be honest I thought it was ideal at 2200 rpm but I only used mine for 18 months working on recovery

shit wrong paint basically
