They are indeed well done!
I've been dropping few hints along the way about being "on the right track" & "not quite on the right track yet" & "You're on the wrong track"
Get out the bunting and the flags and put the dancing music on the duke box, all those tracked hints penetrated in the end. :-)

They wouldn't be on the railways would they? Land, sea and airfreight but no railways listed

I would have thought if anything thing was going to happen it would have happened on the drive home (clutching block of wood as I write this). The K5 is a cracking looking truck

Thats a shame we went this year and really enjoyed it

I used to remember the siren being tested in Ashton Village in Sale we lived about two miles away and we could hear it very clearly. I've just had a look on google maps/street view and the siren has gone when I don't know. Always sounded odd hearing it when I was a lad

Have you thought of asking GMP's press office? I'm sure they will have one.

One of the previous pictures of the Centurion has a story to tell

A book is only as good as the information that was available at the time that it was written and printed. At the moment you have a Ferret with all the Canadian bits but no reg. If you think its a Canadian Ferret you need to do some more research on the vehicle plain as. The visual clues stand out antenna mounting, lights, alternator and the not so visual the hubs.
Its all good fun as you know I like Ferrets (just a bit) so I for one would like to see more of you're restoration. Its a long cold winter in Canada at least you have covered accommodation.

As a quick search on the internet this supplier came up. The top link looks the most promising and having the right description helps. Not much use to you as its in the UK

Its not just pictures that can be added to the listing, the background can be altered as well to customise the page. Thats the reason that the feature still exists on ebay.

Works a treat why pay extra for pictures on ebay when you can use photobucket for free. Ebay takes enough in charges as it is

This may impinge on you do the occasional bit of volunteering at school or the like

If I tried that I'd be sure to end up with a phone and a camera stuck in the same place :nut:
Ahem quite probably true but it was the easiest thing and the most simple thing that I could think to do plus I couldn't remember what the endoscope thing was called :blush:

Looks like the US are bidding for the retired Harriers
More taxpayers money going to waste :argh: absolute shame

In the olden days in the way way back yonder this would be where the small child was inserted into said confined space with the inducement of chocolate or cash for finding the phone. Or a good beating for not finding the phone....I'm taking the p here just in case anyone gets on there charger
Have you thought of taping a camera to a stick and use the video function or the flash to take single pictures of where you can't physically see. Just a thought
Good luck in getting it out! It's amazing how they always manage to fall to the least accessible place!In my experience its always when you need something that it goes missing or drops in the most awkward of place

Nearly Andy. lol.
My mobile phone slid out of my top pocket and guess where it ended up - somewhere under the GUE...............
Eight, yes eight hours later I had to admit defeat.
Purchased a new phone today but managed to retain my old number.
If anyone has my old number - can you text me yours with a name.
Proper pee'd off knowing I have a £100 phone rolling around in the Chieftain hull.
Still - on the plus side - my L60 now plays a nice "Compare the Meerkat" tune, until the battery runs out that is.

PS - thanks for you're help David - no sympathy though!!!
Bad luck been and done it myself so I know how it feels pain in the butt getting at it..... It didn't matter that I managed to retrieve the phone, it died the following week after

Looking for his mobile phone

born before 1946 were called The Silent and powerful generation.
- People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers.
- People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X,
- And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation Y,
So why do we call the last group Generation Y?
Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?

Paddy McCoy, an elderly Irish farmer, received a letter from the Department for Work & Pensions stating that they suspected he was not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and they would send an inspector to interview them.
On the appointed day, the inspector turned up.
"Tell me about your staff," he asked Paddy.
"Well," said Paddy, "there's the farm hand, I pay him £240 a week, and he has a free cottage.
Then there's the housekeeper. She gets £190 a week, along with free board and lodging.
There's also the half-wit.He works a 16 hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about £25 a week along with a bottle of whisky and, as a special treat, occasionally gets to sleep with my wife."
"That's disgraceful" said the inspector, "I need to interview the half-wit."
"That'll be me then," said Paddy.

First of mine arrived today - for type 95 Assb. Apparently every single blue log book is being replaced because Swansea were inept enough to lose a whole pile of blue documents, Given the state of the public purse these days I would hope who ever was responsible for this "loss" is now enjoying the delights of dealing with a job centre and no pay or pension. :mad:
Probably been promoted!

Just a thought how much oil is showing on the dipstick?
You might still be better off degreasing the floor and engine to see where the oil is coming from
-
Good find
-
Oil on the hull floor quick answer is to park it slightly uphill so that any oil drains to the rear of the vehicle.If you leave one of the bolts out in the hull access plates said oil will make its own way out. Another answer for oil on the hull floor is the breathers on the bevel boxes releasing oil when the bevel boxes get hot.
I seem to remember that it was suggested on the old FH site that cleaning the oil from under the engine could be done with a degreaser or kerosene. Engine cold if using kerosene

Thanks Chris
That pic is great. I have been trying to remove that coupling and decided that removing the rad and fan might be the best option, however I can see that it must be able to be done. did you have to pull out the rubber inserts in the coupling to get it out? I have a couple of bolts that are just too long to be able to be removed in situ, even though the nuts are removed.
The fan belt replacement is just a winter overhaul job, nothing to do with the fuel pump rebuild. One of many :-)
Cheers
Matt
The rubber in the couplings doesn't come out. The bolts go through a metal sleeve with the rubber acting as flexible coupling. Each of those sleeves sits proud of the rubber and locates into the fan or the pully
is there anything on the Ferret that ISNT a swine of a job??? :-DI did my fan belt with fan still on. Check the pic here. I believe it was the coupler part that I removed.
Did your Fuel cause you problems or was it a general overhaul?

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply these kind of companies need r support or we won't have them in the future. Keep the pics coming, glad I'm not paying the bill either.
