Thanks Clive, you're a star. How many pages is P424/1? Andy

The EMER is EMER Pwr P 424/1 if anyone has a copy. Andy

I've been trying to find a decent drawing, the only one I've seen is in the ISPL. Judging from that the hole is on the motor side of the shaft seal so it looks like you've got a leaky seal. What's really needed is the EMER for the pump. Andy

"I've got a brand new combine harvester, and I'll give you the key ..." 🙂 Andy

I'm perfectly capable of making one, just haven't had the time or inclination. As a licenced radio amateur I can use Clansman radios on the 4m amateur band! 🙂 Andy (M0IJH)

To be fair, to the vast majority of people outside the military vehicle/classic car communities, it probably seems like a good idea to get old polluting cars off the road? Andy

The Clansman interface tells the radios to go into transmit by changing the impedance of the audio circuit rather than a conventional separate PTT line. There's an explanation and interface circuit here but I've never got round to building one: http://www.vmarsmanuals.co.uk/newsletter_articles/clansman_interface.pdf Andy

I put a full ANR Clansman rig (including PRC352) in my Stalwart. The two CB2s and TUAAM live behind the driver's head, the rest of the boxes are on the left-hand bulkhead. Note that although you could use commercial radios with Clansman it isn't simple as you need an adaptor for the PTT signal to put the radios into transmit. Andy

Clansman, I'm afraid! Andy

Not a problem - my sister used to live in Launceston and Google would often come up with all sorts of Australian results! Andy

I think it's always safest to treat to treat a de-ac or replica as though it was a live weapon and secure appropriately. Andy

Ah - wrong Ilfracombe, I wondered why I hadn't heard of it before! Andy

"Cars", I think, rather than "vehicles"? Andy

The ISPL (hint!) says 5331-99-881-5925 but I see that xmod are currently out of stock, unfortunately. Andy

Thanks Simon!

I thought I'd replied to this but obviously not! Yes, both pipes are returns; one is the main return from the fuel filter, the other is the injector drain. Andy

Who is the manufacturer of the GPS kit, out of interest? Andy

Could be interesting indeed, but I can see a time when no-one will need to take a conventional driving test. What then happens about those driving non-autonomous vehicles? Andy

Same here - I suspect you'll be VERY lucky to find one! And beware, if the K60 is from an FV432 it isn't a straight swap, some differences are obvious, others aren't. Don't ask me how I know ... 🙂 Andy

Let's see if this works ... Andy FV432 Technical Handbook Data Summary E100-2.pdf

Yes, but it's not easy. If you don't have the Unit and Base Repair manuals you'll find them very useful! Fuel tank removal is in Chapter 3 of the Unit Repairs EMER (Trk E103/3). Don't disturb the cables going to the fuel tank sender unit you can see behind the driver's seat! MAKE SURE THE TANK HAS BEEN DRAINED - the lifting eyes aren't designed to carry a tank with fuel in it. Remove the plates to the bottom left of the driver's seat (one carries the engine disconnector cable). That will give you access to the two plugs carrying the cables for the fuel sender and pump. If the self-sealing fuel couplings are still in place you can undo them too; they may have been replaced as they tend to leak with age. Remove the hull plates over the top of the tank, the vent pipes, angled support members and the battery tray. Undo the cable clamps securing the tank and lift making sure that nothing gets caught on the way out. If you want to fit an oil pressure gauge there's a tapped hole on the crankcase next to the oil pressure switch. It will be a pack out job to get at it, though. Andy

The only thing threatening the continued use of MVs is the availability of suitable fuel, the ban only applies to new cars ( and note "cars", not "vehicles"). I don't see it being a problem for years to come. A more interesting problem might be the ability to take a driving test when all other vehicles are autonomous. Andy

You might try Crouch Military, perhaps? Andy

Everything in an FV430 is SAE30 except for the final drives, which are EP90 and the FIP governor, which is ATF. Andy
