    It does indeed and you don't need to buy a manual, they're free to download online. I did a MOD FoI request several years ago: https://www.fv432apc.com/fv432manuals.html Andy

    Done! Andy

    It's SAE30 mineral oil and there's a dipstick on the filler. Do you have a copy of the manuals? Andy

    Thanks Barry! Andy (M0IJH)

    I got mine to boot up with Windows 98 after a lot of head scratching but unfortunately the screen has several lines/rows of missing pixels. 😞 Andy

    If you want to test the generator simply put a voltmeter across the batteries. If it's anything like FV430s you should have 28.5V across them at anything above 1000 rpm or so. Andy

    Any of the existing MV insurers such as Adrian Flux, Cherished etc ...

    I'm afraid not! Try Marcus Glenn or Milweb, perhaps? Andy

    Hans - The fuse problem sounds to me like the FIP solenoid. The manuals referred to earlier in this thread are now here for you to download as needed: http://www.fv432apc.com/fv432manuals.html Andy

    Asbestos is generally safe if you don't disturb it. The brake bands are definitely asbestos but you're unlikely to come into contact with it. Andy

    Thanks John!
  12. andym
    Do you have a reference for that, John? I wouldn't mind a look. Andy

    Unless it's changed recently, the AA policy doesn't cover you for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes so it's not "any vehicle" unfortunately. I'm with Autohome for my vehicles, which are all in excess of the AA limit. Andy

    Excellent - thanks! Andy

    Thanks Richard - I think it's the wheel shuffling that's key, because otherwise I don't see how a rotation around centre of the axle can translate into a rotation round the centre of the stud. Andy

    I've never understood the logic of that. Why does the thread direction have any effect? Andy
  17. andym
    There's usually at least one on Milweb? Andy

    There was a firm who used to overhaul them but I can't remember the name. I suspect that's who Marcus sends them to. I've had a couple from Marcus with no issues at all. Andy
  19. andym
    Agreed - thanks Iain! Andy

    Thanks Paul!

    Are we getting confused by semantics? There are no EU "laws" - are we talking directives or regulations?
  22. andym
    EU regulations are already UK law - they wouldn't be legally enforceable otherwise. Andy

    Abbot FV433

    You won't find any wiring diagrams in the ISPL and unfortunately you won't find any wiring diagrams at all for the turret traverse system - they aren't in any of my collection of Abbot manuals. By the sound of it you've either got a problem in the controller or the ferro-magnetic clutch in the traverse gearbox. Mine won't traverse in either direction! Andy
  24. andym
    Definitely not from an FV430 of any type. They use a Selsyn system with five connections to the gauge. Andy

    As an FV432 owner who has just spent most of the day fitting radios in a friend's CVRT I'm not convinced about the "more difficult to work on" bit! Andy
