  1. Have you asked the same question at the following forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-heaven/
  2. Hes dreaming yes but you never know someone with more money than sense might buy it...... Most people that can afford that kind of money have the sense and want it as cheap as possible... lol

  14. Would like to go its a two hour drive but if I do go the missus will be changing the locks
  15. No worries your not on your own with that one many owners used to turn the engine off to change direction forward and back
  16. When you press the gearchange pedal down you should be able to feel the spring pushing back against your foot. If that pressure isn't there then you need to reset it as per the manual. http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/manuals.htm To go from forward to reverse with the vehicle stopped press your foot on the brake pedal this holds the vehicle in place and stops the box moving. With the vehicle stopped and in gear press down on the gearchange pedal down and at the same time as the pedal is going down move the forward / reverse lever in one swift movement either forward or back. If you try changing from forward and reverse on a slope and don't press your foot on the brake pedal the vehicle can creep forward and you will not be able to change the direction off drive
  17. Looking good for the Yorkshire Wartime experience Those pics ain't showing up in the last post
  18. To get the tank out you have to remove the following turret and base plate off rear decking very helpful if this is off all the cover plates around the gearbox the airfilter and its connection pipe with the carburettor horn the batteries and battery boxes the distribution panel (inter vehicle starting socket) this panel and wiring can be bungged up out of the way generator panel centre gearbox mounts disconnect the fuel pump from the tank disconnect the tank mounts from the hull two per side of the tank disconnect the wiring from the sender As its a Mk 4 and I haven't worked on those you find that you have to remove more. I might have missed something so its a rough list. if you find that the tank won't budge and seems to be stuck jack the vehicle up in-between the rear wheel stations and if it still won't budge you might have to remove the engine hull crossbar and jack it up in-between the rear wheel stations again. The bolts for the crossbar won't pull out the weight of the wheels and wheel stations will gradually loosen as the vehicle is jacked higher.
  19. Don't be so quick to right them off this could mean the end of a business and jobs.
