xtreme

its got the front gate bumper but not the side bars . got a diesel cummins in it and the brakes are air should pass mot pretty easy

Hi want to road register if Possible a saxon patrol . there is a basic weight plate in the vehicle ,

do I need to MOT it before registering and can it be tested if it isnt on vosas system .

all help greatly appreciated

Take it off and do it on the bench . Thats what I did

pretty sure this is the filter

Be carefull taking it in the lake I sunk my MK3 . Make sure the seals on the ramp doors are good front and rear as thats were mine let most of its water in .

Luckily nobody was around to laugh so shut it down and swam to side . Fcking cold my nuts were like walnuts. worst still I had to go back in to hook the chain up pulled it out with a 432. Checked all fluids and it started right up .

Thanks John i think this was wee it was at when you last saw it

The bracket on the front with the stop ends holds a bag of camo net poles , not sure about the bracket on the rear .

Improvents that I think are a big plus are the drivers controls . ie. light controls on the steering yokes . and as you said the seats are a big + also the rear bulhead is removable for access to the rear of the engine.

Also the dashboard is demountable and on a coiled wire so can be mounted on the outside for driver to monitor the dash while driving

Change the gearbox filter it should go out . did on mine anyway . all 3 we have had the gearbox light on .

Thats where it is on mine but Andys post conflicted so thought there may be two fill points .Or 2 different set ups on the stormer

Robin curious to where your gearbox fill was did you locate it .

cheers Dan

They only seem to be a problem for drivers who cant drive but think they can. Plan ahead and your fine . although its been a few years since I have driven one around town .

Not weighed the truck yet . its rated 18ton and would take a wild guess the truck now weighs in at 7 to 8 ton

Just built a new recovery truck . mainly for our limos but couldnt help painting it nato as will take some of our light MV's . It was a 18ton Motorway cone truck that got smacked on the rear end . got a second hand 25ft police recovery bed and stretched it to 31ft.

We have 3 stormer hvms with 2 of them awaiting export to the US . still not got a manual for one . spares surprisingly not to bad anything I have needed managed to get from andrew backer .

I was told 30 grade engine oil . ? . The filler is in the engine bay

I have sat reading you guys discuss and argue this 14 ways to Sunday, kind of like how the old barrack room laywers would pontificate ad nauseum.

 

If it aint within limits it aint going to fly unless you have a Makita cordless vehicle shrinker, get a grip guys and get over it and move on!

 

Battening down the hatches now

British and will fight If I think I am Right . some people just like to bow down to authorities and bureaucrats .

Called Vosa today . As I thought He Just Laughed . and how do you think we are going to do a break test on a tracked vehicle. lol . Thinking about it you can use a g meter some 4x4'S dont like rolling roads so have to use a G Meter. If thats the case every mot station has a G Meter.

IVA is more than C&U Its hard enough to get a new 2010 american import through never mind a MV . Sharp edges and headrests is just one thing that will fail.

A 10 year old vehicle imported into the UK is except from IVA so why should a over 10 year old UK vehicle have to go through it .

Lighting regs is easy and its clear theres 2 separate braking systems on the cvrt range anyone that has owned one knows it.

Anyone know an engineer willing to write a report

if your near manchester at any time you can gladly come over with your camera and tape

regards dan

sorry missed this post . yes the braking system is as you said and the same as my cvrt sabre and striker .

thanks dan

Great work .

Got some paint on this week . still looking for some dimensions on those infrared tack signs if anyone has them

thanks dan

Anyone know were the fuel pump is and how you access it . also is the K60 a self bleed system

thanks Dan

not clear on this but would putting a pyro in the tube be illegal . also if dummy smoke dischargers are fitted and your a member of a reactant group does that satisfy the vcr act

Is that the main sights chris or the smaller ones around the hatches plus is it 44 for the driver

cheers
