A Christmas laugh along heard this on the radio in the week also posted it up on facebook as well. Doesn't seem like Christmas but hey ho I'm not in work till the New Year so can't be bad Something went wrong...

Thats got hurt in so many ways any video available ?

How did you make all the rivets? No I'm not a rivet counter

A reconditioned box could cost you £1000 if you can find one, replacing the bands is the way to go. Have you checked the condition of the bands and tried resetting them via the method in the manual? Can you see the threads on the adjustment screws of the brake bands? If the gearbox has overheated you might have to change the fluid fly=wheel seal. I have a gearbox that has overheated in the back of my car its not a pretty site, the heat transfer can be seen on the drums (one doesn't want to come apart)! Plenty of pictures here of the gearbox.

Had that bit of fun with the Ferret kids just love armour :-) best thing to do is to rope the vehicles off. Sad but its got to be done

Collection should be somewhere in the conversation when you're speaking to someone who wants payment directly into his or hers bank account. If they don't want you to collect the thing they are offering you have to decide whether you can risk the money or walk away from the deal. They have the advantage as it were as they have something you want it depends on how desperate you are for the part. Just like the real military a lot of dealing is done in secret on a need to know basis dodgy dealers rely on this. Obviously this only applies to the country you are living in, buying from another country relies on some sort of trust / reputation.

Well if its the one that bunged its prices up for the show tough titties

The one I had lasted to 1967 with the TA

Its the local area that will miss out, lets face we didn't all stay on site we used the local facilities for buying extra food, fuel and the like. Life moves on Bye bye Hop Farm long live the new show

Having seen the vehicle in Bobs yard I seem to remember it had its transmission and engine in place. I'm pretty sure that I could see pistons so the engine was slightly un-serviceable :-D

I am looking for a heat seeking missile to take santa out of the sky forever :evil: If I get lucky I might even get Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer crew.

I think the best thing that you can do is to go to the show leave all you're thoughts about the previous show behind and just enjoy the new show. I might even manage to get my Ferret to this one :laugh:

I remember the blue crosses being used on Buccaneers, Phantoms and Lightings that were due to be destroyed I presume for the same reason that Clive mentioned. I was going to mention something about Ferrets on this subject but I don't think it needs to be aired on a public forum.

You beat me to it I wanted to say Bah Humbug :-( :cry: Looks good though r they flammable :evil: LOL

Looking at this comms box set up the one I have just bought has been fitted out to the same specifications its just missing the radios and the mapboard. [ATTACH=CONFIG]70210[/ATTACH] Does anyone have a spare box for the gap above plus the box to the side which isn't in place either? [ATTACH=CONFIG]70211[/ATTACH] It has a few leaks from the top hatch which looks like a design fault as the water can pool in the recess.

A few pics of the front drum assembly its not difficult to take apart its just time consuming like anything else [ATTACH=CONFIG]70154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]70160[/ATTACH]

The cold start system isn't needed unless its sub zero temperatures - 18. Check the batteries and the connections and see if they are fully charged if its struggling to start. The RB44 is drum braked front and back, if its pulling to the right I would suspect that one if not both brake cylinders has gone U/S and has deposited brake fluid all over the shoes. All the RB44's have round headlights and as far as I am aware there isn't a MK1 or MK2. Some RB44's were fitted with winches, comms bodies or different fit outs on the load bed.

Thank Mr Grundy

No hes buying adult nappies for the duration!!

If its such a big earner for the hop farm will they hold there own War and Peace show in July? JB was right in one sense W&P needed rearranging as we all knew where everything was, which cannot be good in the long term.

As a pair they might be worth buying one could supply bits that the other hadn't maybe?? It all depends on whats coming out of Withams.... The backdrop to my recent purchase of a comms body for the RB44 showed a few CVRT's.

This looks remarkably like the Champ vacuum tank also fitted to the RB44 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-DAIMLER-BRAKE-VACUUM-TANK-FITS-MK2-S-TYPE-V8-250-C24910-/121017097301?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c2d2e5c55&_uhb=1

IBRA can be difficult to get hold off if you're lucky enough to have one keep hold of it. I think I have only seen one or two on ebay in the last couple of years.

The shows up North whilst good or even great do not have the same numbers of traders or exhibitors but I can't say I bought a great deal at this years W&P show. I thought this years W&P was a great show because people had to move away from where they normally would have set up camp. Will this years W&P be the biggest military show in the world I suspect it will, thinking about it thats possibly a great reason to go as it will all be fresh and new. Lets hope they don't go backwards in regards to the facilities !!! Its not the best idea in the world to cater to just the european market either its the turkeys in this country that make up 3/4's of the show!! I'm surprised that the Hop Farm team haven't thought about setting up a rival show without having to rely on Rex.

On the War and Peace website they normally have a countdown to the next show have I missed it on the site or have I added to the conspiracy theories lol ! If and I say if again it has moved locations I suspect it won't be a bad thing as these kind of things naturally develop a resistance to any kind of change to the status quo even if it is for the better. Wait and see its to far south for me I'm for a new event up north if only it wouldn't pee down so much!!! :undecided:
