    750kg per side was a figure I gave in response to a similar question several years back by weighing a new link, so I'd agree! 🙂 Andy

    Fort Nelson is well worth a visit, once we're allowed to do such things. Andy

    I think this is Green Archer - sitting rotting away outside at Fort Nelson, or at least it was when I took the photo in April 2018: Andy

    Surely if it's "industrial use" it will attract business rates anyway, or does that depend on the opinion of individual councils? Andy

    The Irish (Eire) army have a real one - it visited Tankfest a few years back. Andy

    There is a fundamental problem that laws only affect the law-abiding, which seems to have escaped a number of people's attention. I'm surprised that there isn't a bigger issue with gun crime, bearing in mind how porous our borders seem to be when it comes to drugs. The average street criminal might have to make do with a Webley he bought in the pub, but I'm sure that any of the Eastern European gangs have no problem obtaining as many automatic weapons as they need.

    That's not actually what the proposals say. Note the wording of Question 14: Q14. To what extent do you consider that the possession of component parts of ammunition with intent to manufacture unauthorised quantities of complete rounds of ammunition should be made an offence? The "intent to manufacture" phrase is key, I don't see that it would affect collectors of inert ammunition? Andy

    I've got one who supervises the gardening! Andy

    Thanks, that's useful to know! Andy

    If doing this, make sure you stop the engine before removing the jump lead - the alternator control boxes rely on having batteries present to regulate their output. However, as has been said, bar the engine over first to make sure something isn't stuck. Andy

    This one, I think: Andy

    Definitely looks good fun! Andy

    I certainly see what looks like a Racal RA943 log periodic antenna in that first photo - I've got one in my garage! Andy

    It would be interesting to know what was in the back originally. Andy

    Define "gone"? 🙂 Andy

    You may have fun with the council planning people. I tried and failed to obtain planning permission for a building to store my MVs because no-one outside our "bubble" understands MVs, and the local council considers anything connected with them to be commercial. Andy

    It's probably just a re-badged Lucas/CAV starter, so I'd have a chat with an auto electrician or someone else who repairs them? Andy

    It just seems a bit odd if the batteries have enough oomph to start the vehicle and the charging system is maintaining 28.5V across them. Mind you, I've no idea how much current the gearbox takes. Anyway, you've fixed it now, which is what matters! Andy

    He might like to check the charging system as well, then? Andy

    Impressive - nicely done! Andy

    Thanks John!

    Does anyone have a link to the actual SI? I can't find anything obvious. Andy

    What did Cook Defence say, out of interest? Andy
  24. andym
    Don't worry, we all start somewhere!

    In case you aren't aware of Internet etiquette, posting in all capitals is known as "shouting" and firmly frowned upon! 😉 Andy
