    The seals on the gearbox throttle actuator were probably a bit dry to start with and have now re-wetted themselves, at a guess. Andy

    Bulldog itself didn't do anything to the FV430 hull, it just fitted a new engine and gearbox. You'd be looking for the specification for the Theatre Entry Standard for Afghanistan etc. I'm not sure that would be in the public domain. Andy

    I'd be surprised if you can find any reference to a STANAG. The best I can see is the description in AESP 2350-T-250-101 (Purpose and Planning Information) that simply says: "The FV432 was designed, primarily for use in Europe, to meet the requirement for a light armoured tracked vehicle to transport ten Infantryman in full battle order and their weapons safely in battlefield conditions."

    Standing in the near-drizzle at Farnborough beside Buccaneer XV344 "Nightbird" with a fair number of other people ... Andy

    That's unfair. What they ARE interested in, because they're driven that way, is visitor numbers. How many people actually visit the library? Andy

    I assume this didn't happen but I'd love to see the video of the first attempt that ended up on Osborne Beach. Andy

    If it helps, I think you'll find that like the similar starter for the FV430s this is a standard Lucas CAV commercial unit, just with a different connector. You may be able to find an auto electrician who can repair it. Andy

    Congratulations - give her a set of AF spanners as a christening present! :-) Andy

    Would anyone have a couple of these four-lobed wingnuts going spare on an old backpack? I can't find any being sold as spares and I need two for Abbot and Stalwart radio tray clamps. Andy

    My pet hate with any of the interactive/computer-driven stuff is that it usually packs up after a couple of weeks and no-one knows how to mend it. Cue blank screens and tatty apologetic notices ... Andy

    Depends exactly what was in it and if it had generators on the roof. I've come across a number of variants. Andy

    I said I didn't think that (vehicle) was ever an FV439. Wrong NBC box for a start. Andy

    I don't think that was ever an FV439. Possibly an FV436? Andy

    I've always found that a tap from a sledgehammer is more effective than any amount of constant pressure. Andy

    Did you ever manage to find any more information on the Clansman fit? Neither Clive nor the REME museum seem to have the elusive EMER. Andy

    Weren't you supposed to be organising a family outing to the Spinnaker Tower, wink, wink, nudge, nudge? (And perhaps that multiplug is for the flasher relay?) Andy

    That reminds me of another vehicle we both know! Andy

    Oi - I resemble that remark! :cheesy: Andy

    I've just passed both my Foundation and Intermediate exams back to back this afternoon. :-D Andy

    Welcome aboard, John! Andy

    I like the boiling oil suggestion - also works on unwanted salesmen ... Andy

    Hence the name "Fury", perhaps? :-) Andy
