As usual the advice (particularly that given by the AA) is confused as it doesn't properly consider vehicles old enough to not be fitted with seatbelts. To quote from the original DirectGov reference above: [h=3]"If your vehicle has no seat belts[/h] You can't carry any children under three years old in vehicles without seatbelts, like classic cars. If you're travelling with children over three years old, they must only sit in the back seats." Andy

Thanks Joris! :-) Andy

There's a Mk.1 432/30 hanging about as it keeps appearing in assorted films, most recently as a US Gulf War APC(!) in The Manchurian Candidate but also in Salt. Andy

Better put the GPMG back quick, then ..... :-) Andy

Hasn't this all been rather OBE'd by the "War Horse" replica? Andy

Court battle over wartime hospital site.
andym replied to Tunnel_Rat's topic in Archaeology - WW1 to the end of the cold war
As ever, it's difficult to extract facts from a newspaper report but I think there's more to it than first appears. Aren't the Council saying that he has fenced off more than he needs to ensure safety, and that they've already given him legal avenues that he's chosen not to pursue? Andy -
I've still got an old BR "The Royal Navy" from BRNC Dartmouth back in the mid 1970s and it was pretty potent even then. Nowadays we can't even afford the fuel to leave Portsmouth! :-( Andy

That's why there's a "location" field in your profile page ... :-) Andy

You'll find http://www.thexmod.com/ are reasonably priced for the originals. No connection with them, just a satisfied customer! Andy

Marcus Glenn or Sammy Clarke do exchange units but they aren't cheap. And yes, remember to take off the outlet union before sending the old unit away! Andy

Some sort of recovery truck with turret-mounted working lights? It may say "American Salvage" on the side? Andy
-
I can't give any advice as I've never owned one but I see that the Xmod have one for sale if it helps: http://www.thexmod.com/item_detail.asp?id=434 Andy

As the damage peels outwards it looks as though the engine decided to eject an internal component! Andy

question CCKW - Temperate Gauge Reading Puzzle
andym replied to Vulture's topic in American Vehicles
This might be a stupid question, but before we get all excited about thermostats are we sure it isn't just a faulty temperature gauge? Does the engine feel as though it's up to working temperature? Andy -
Brilliant! Andy
-
I love the assorted gloves used as blanking-off plates! :-) Andy

Clive - I absolutely agree about measuring sub-ohm resistances but I wonder if as a first stab a simple continuity test isn't the best approach? These beasties are pretty bomb-proof and the most likely failure mode is overheating through lack of oil. Andy

I hear what you say! In that case, if you haven't done so already check the easy bits that you can do without a pack lift; the throttle linkage under the piano boards and probably most important - the emergency stop cable. Andy

Good - nothing too serious, then! Andy

Hmm - so is that a Section 5 weapon? Andy
-
Seems a bit of a waste just for a Miata, especially with an 8" reinforced floor! Andy

A modern pulse charger will recondition (by pulsing) as well as charge. Andy

Do you want an actual hotel or a B&B? I know a very nice one in East Burton, just down the road from Bovington ... Andy

Hi Charlie - always glad to meet another Abbot owner! The torsion bars are the same for 432 and 433 but are set at a different ride height. I've got the relevant pages from the manuals if you want to PM me. The bars themselves aren't that easy to come by, considering the number of vehicles that have been scrapped. Marcus Glenn had some last time I looked. Andy
