I fully understand that, and I am not arguing that for £10 PLI by the MVT isn't good value for money, more that some show organisers are either avoiding their responsibilities or trying to mitigate their responsibilities. The MVT appears to have full PLI for events it organises so why don't others? At Xmas I was going to attend the local Father Xmas parade until the local council insisted to see my driving licence, insurance and even a risk assessment, the outcome was I told them to stick it. I was told yesterday of an event that was held yearly - a driving skills test - that had been cancelled because of insurance liability, and we're not talking racing cars here but classic cars driving around cones. The whole thing is becoming nonsense to the point where nothing takes place lest someone gets sued and no-one benefits. Diana

It's 125W/125W :-) Diana

GE4811, available eBay (USA) . The sealed beam units are, if marked fog, maybe slightly lower wattage, but still work OK as long as they are dual beam. Diana

Yes - nothing new there.

Most of the inverter welders are light enough to be carried around and even stored indoors. In my experience it's transformer based equipment that can be affected as much by damp, especially when it gets into the windings. I have a multi process welder by Thermal Arc, Mig is ideal for filling bolt or screw holes in panels, so as far as I am concerned a multi process welder is ideal and the bees knees. Diana

Check out the video's by ChuckE2009 on YouTube, If you buy a TIG welder make sure the gas valve is in the machine and not on the handle of the TIG torch, also that it comes with a TIG torch. Diana

Try Champ spares - that's where I got one for my Ferret. Diana

If I have gotten this wrong then I am sure someone will jump in and correct me. This is not an argument for or against the MVT obtaining PLI for its members, one of which I am, it is more an argument that event organisers are the ones who need to get PLI for their shows. Many of us own, maintain and repair vehicles, quite a few of which have historic origins or origins of great interest. Many of these vehicles are beyond common sense in terms of running them, e.g often below 20 MPG, some even gallons per mile. So we not only spend considerable amounts of money insuring, and maintaining them but the costs of getting them to shows is often considerable. When we get our vehicles to a show whether it be a shown specifically for military vehicles, classic vehicles or historic vehicles we are generally allowed free entry. The public who attend these shows often show considerable interest in our vehicles, often these people will know the vehicles intimately having driven and or serviced them. Even if they are not military vehicles the public are still enthusiastic to see older types of vehicle. Meanwhile the event organisers are at the show entrance eagerly collecting the £3-£5 (or more) entrance fee from the public. It seems to me that it is the event organisers who should be funding the cost of PLI as it is their event. Were it not for us and owners of many others types of classic, historic or interesting vehicles going to these show, having refurbished them, insured them and fueled them to get to the shows out of the goodness of our hearts and pockets there would be no show.

The face seals on the road wheels are actually Caterpillar seals! so Richard you are spot on. Diana

Name that haulier ! Diana

Hi Chris, I will contact Mark - as for the 3D printing, I don't have a printer and the part is moulded onto the dipstick, which has a notch in it, thus trapping the metal into the plastic. Thanks again for all replies though Diana

Hi, I am hoping someone has a Jaguar j60 dipstick surplus. Mine has suffered through age and oil at its plastic end. Thanks Diana

Very handy device that does work, took a load of rusty water and dirt from a tank of petrol. Fill it with water and not a drop runs through :-) ! http://www.agri-supply.co.uk/mr-funnel-f3/?gclid=CjwKEAjwnebABRCjpvr13dHL8DsSJABB-ILJVEEQUGsYCGPOZvm3qjOu6Ri3AqyGWqyUHyZggmDUyxoCdgLw_wcB Diana

When a building is used as some sort of shrine( as per the "gutter press") to commemorate and re-ignite the actions, behaviour and views of a mass murder yes it is time to obliterate that object. Diana

When a site, building or memorial is used to commemorate and reignite the beliefs of a mass murderer of 50 million people, one of the most pernicious and evil human beings ever born, then it is time to remove it like him and his kind off the face of the earth. Diana

You've stated this before about it not being possible to be in business, however the fact remains that they are in business in The UK, with a limited 6 recoveries per year on tracked armour. Of course the laws in the USA regarding insurance maybe and probably are different. Here an insurance policy has to be legally honoured or else The Regulator can get involved. Diana

The delay between taking our breakdown cover and its actual implementation is normal on many breakdown insurances. Diana

Dirt in the fuel most likely. Fit one of these after the pump :- [h=1]Single Fuel Filter Assembly Cav Glass Bowl 1/2"-20UNF - lots on ebay.[/h]Diana

You also need to measure the back pressure with the flow closed off as well as the flow rate. It may pump quite well with an open flow but once the flow is restricted it may not be able to pump quite so well. Diana

As Chris says plus check oil pressure - test point 1/4" bolt below controller, this is the diesel gearbox https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/.../KIT80_combined.pdf- test point in same position for petrol engine. List of pressures in http://www.greenmachinesurplus.com/cvrt-precis-718-p.asp but check with GreenMachine that it is the correct precis. The Diesel pressures are slightly different but broadly similar. There is also a controller adjustment to make again I belive it's in the precis. Diana
