  1. Welcome to the club Andy and well done on your purchase of gods own AFV, one careful owner!

     

    I can vouch for the quality of chris' mudguard brackets, top notch..

     

    Pm me if you wish to come for a visit anytime to have a look at my sabre (04 FD 34!). I am currently replacing the engine so happy to give you a guided tour of what to watch for if you like.

     

    Cheers

    Hi Tim,

     

    I might take you up on that offer it would make good sense to have a look see on things that I shouldn't do

  2. Hi Andy,

     

    Welcome to the club! Is it a damper link arm rubbing on the track?

     

    Chris

     

    When we had a look it seemed to coming from somewhere near the front right sprocket behind the mudflap. It looked to be a piece of metal that had been crushed when the vehicle has been pushed at some point (it looked rusty as well). I didn't really have chance to look properly as I was supposed to be in Manchester city centre (horrible place).

  3. I have been thinking about buying a tracked vehicle for awhile ever since I drove Ricks (eddy8mens) carrier. The bug bit pretty deep especially when I had it spinning in the mud spraying mud all over the place at War and Peace in 2011.

     

    In the last tender I had a punt on a CET and a CVRT Sultan which didn't pan out such is life.... Last week I had another punt on a CVRT Sabre at Withams which I won for my top price that I was prepared to pay.

     

    Said Sabre arrived this morning :D

     

    The horrible clanking noise is a piece of metal rubbing on the tracks

     

    Its a project that I plan on doing very little too until I have finished a Ferret and sold it. I have the hatches for the turret and the rear door thats missing thanks to a tip from a member on here plus the bins that are missing.

     

    I'm pretty chuffed I must admit

     

     

  4. I've seen that Ferret before in person, the top plate that would normally be bolted down for the turret ring is welded on. If I said Minis would that correspond??

     

    Good video by the way

  5. Tried pumping acc and no choke started well.

    Voltage when running 28V.

    Hope it starts well Thursday as Ferret in ANZAC parade.

     

    Must admit I don't start my Ferret with choke I tend to use the choke after its started as way of fast idling the engine to warm it up quicker. Not right but hey ho it works

  6. Plugs, points, condenser, fuel tap and fuel pump. I would do the basics first as already mentioned as loss of power could be down to the condenser breaking down under load.

     

    Fuel constriction through the pipes leading from the tank to the change over tap could also be an issue. Try switching the tap over and have you changed its position at any time in the recent past?

     

    Food for thought

  7. The more i study the pic the more it loks like my truck ? Coincidence ??? i have mounting holes for the same ....

     

    Whats a TUUAM and whats a ARFAT ? and is this something obtainable ? id like to really restore my truck now to original , but theres lots of bits missing , even on the wall behind him i have mounting points and cables for kit , also under the bench seat thers threaded holes and brackets for stuff ??
