happy birthday jack

Probably...

 

Last time i see that many wheels of the ground it was on a Saladin :whistle:

Finally, i'm in charge of something!:-D

 

I voted yes, but i'm booking my own toilet!

I have been taking my own camping toilet for years, always hated having to stand on the toilet seat in the porta loos just to try and get higher than than c__p in them :shake:.

Just popped outside. We have just had Thunder and Lightning as well, such strange weather.

I had my Bedford radiator stripped and unblocked at County Radiators, Basildon.

Haven't received my copy of windscreen yet but look forward to seeing the new calendar. Be good to start marking the 2010 shows on it.

No problems.

I did this parade around 5-6 years ago, early start, alot of waiting around and it was raining. We was not to far from the back of the parade and by the time we crossed the start point the head of the parade had finished and was on there way home. Its a good parade and worth doing. Just remember no drinking the night before.

Here is a link http://www.londonparade.co.uk/

there is a contact section, hope this helps

Nice to see some HMVF members there. Chris G, Nick Johns, and former forum member CW put in an appearance.

 

 

I think you will find CW is still a member of the forum, still listed in the members list. Just not logged on for a while.

Excellent pics of the RL Alan. Thats the first time I have ever seen a K9 body on an RL, looks good.

Ian, that's great. Bloomin' 'eck, They are big arnt they?! :shocked::-D

 

I don't think mine has any hoops, but I have a pipe bender so I may trouble you for some measurements when I get round to that.

 

Thanks again.

Just happens i have a few measurments. Should you need any others do drop me a PM.

My 1 Ton trailer behind my RL

Just having a look at an RL manual and it says,

Raise the cab, using a flat beam through the door apertures. Do not lift the cab with rope or wire slings otherwise the cab structure may be damaged.

Happy Birthday Paul

Hi Jen,

Big welcome to the forum and many thanks to you and the family for the support at the weekend. See you soon.

Booze isn't a prob'!

Do we get to vet the music this time?:cool2:

No so bring ear plugs :rofl:

ACH,

If you are looking for spares you can try John Morter 01953602581 or mobile 07773066820, or there is Pete Gaine 01189736480.

The 330 has a compressor driven from timing gears, then driving the injection pump. there is usually a take off point on the other side of the engine to drive a steering pump or vacuum pump. Other option is to convert to air over hydraulic, but that gets involved, looks like you will have to forego having power steering then

My Bedford is already "Air over Hydraulic" has a compressor mounted on the n/s and is belt driven, is that not the same on the AFS one :confused:

hello all,

 

i'm looking to find a pre '60 english truck suitable for towing a 36ft 9 ton showman's wagon.

 

previously i've owned and fixed up all sorts of trucks, but nothing this old, so any thoughts as to what type to aim for - ie is a commer Q4 / bedford RL man enough for the job, or should i be thinking scammell?

 

 

sam

I would say the Bedford RL is a bit to small for towing 9 tons, how about something like a Militant or Matador

And my Dodge :-D

To take the subject further, even parking a large vehicle in your own drive, or on you own land can lead to problems.

 

.

Over the last 8 years I have often parked my vehicle on my drive and have had no problems from the local council.

As for the original question, you can tow up to a 750kg trailer on a C1 license. If you have C1+E you can tow any trailer, provided the combination does not exceed 12 tonnes MAM and the laden weight of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle. See here.

 

HTH

 

Stone

Agree with the above but do check your licence as sometimes there will be an "information Code" next to the licence category like "number 107" which then states "Not more than 8250kg" that being the combined weight of vehicle and trailer.

Hi Ian,

Good to hear from you.I think I do remember you with the Bedford RLW, I also remember you having a cckw 352, am I correct ?

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

I still have the Bedford but the old man sold the GMC, he still wishes he had kept it. Hopefully catch up with you at a show sometime.

Hi Brendan,

Long time no see, last time i remember seeing you was at the West Bergholt show some years ago now, back when you had your GMC.

Good to see you on the forum.

Yep, that's pretty much how it was on Saturday - some very good living history displays, but very few paying public indeed (despite good weather) - it was heaving the last few times I've been. The MVs - such as they were - were parked around the road in a far corner - so 'far' in fact that I wasn't sure if they were really on dispaly or not!!

 

Still a good (but expensive) show for living history, quite good for stalls but forget it as far as MVs go!

 

Peter

I was there saturday, arrived at 10am and took us 40mins to reach the cash desk. Agree regards the vehicles not many at all. Some good living history displays. On the whole it wasn't a bad show.
