Hello all

I am off to Lytham st anne's near Blackpool on the 16th of feb to collect a project vehicle, we are coming up from Dorset so thought we would like to spend a couple days looking around the area but will need to park my loaded trailer out of the way for a couple of days whilst we are there. Trailer is 21ft long and about 7ft wide. Outside is fine.

Any of you kind hearted folks in the area able to help me out with this please? pm me any ideas.

Thanks in advance, Nigel

Try Jacksons coaches south shore 01253 349731 you should be ok there secure compound.

you could try e bay etc as Modern day british army household cavelry riding breeches are very similar or british Army Surplus.

Would Definately recommend David Crouch,good to deal with and does have some Foden Recovery in at 15k.

(excellent value don't know what they cost when new)

Well done in saving it.The RL are getting a rare truck now.

Looks in good shape,have you got undercover storage as does make a massive difference.

don't want to probe to far but how is MJ registerd

Have had the Mj for a couple of years now and is vosa down rated from 7.5 ton.Brill motor to drive.(slowly).

Thanks for your replies,that sorts that one then.Will stick with the MJ.

Darren.

Does anyone know if it is possible to drive a Foden 6x6 Recovery on a car licence.

i know it is well above the 7.5 ton,but is there an exemption for HGV licence requirement on this type of vehicle.

Does anyone have dimensions of the drivers foot well please, the floor plate that the clutch and brake peddles come up through? I think there is a hinged cover for filling the brake master cylinder on it.

your doin a brill job good on ya.

Fantastic to see this truck back in the UK .

Wish I'd kept my QL,it's probably in the Netherlands now.

Good idea with the Hi Vis at the rear.

Brill photos of a great weekend,this event deserves to do well.:cheesy:

The tester's manual is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/consolidated-hgv-inspection-manual-2013

 

In fact, the reasons for failure are unchanged:

 

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]A tyre

a. with a cut which is deep enough to reach the ply or cords, and is more than 25mm long, or 10% of the section width, whichever is greater.

**b. with a lump, bulge or tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure, including any lifting of the tread rubber.

*c. with exposed ply or cord.

Thanks for the info.Sean.

Looking at the info you have I should be ok for the test.

Hi David,

That's really good of you,but I am looking for a set of the older pattern Bar Grips.

See you next month.

Thanks for the info.a tricky one this as the Tyres are new old stock.

And as the truck has to have a hgv test,I am most likely to see the same vosa tester,as in our area we now have to use authorised testing facilities.

The 12x20 are a big heavy tubed tyre and look like only age cracks on the outside not on the inner,if I did manage to get some replacement new old stock I think I will just have the same tyre age problem.

Anyone know if possible to buy new 12x20 Tubed bar grips.

Thanks.

Have a set of NOS 12 x 20 bar grip tyres,been on for a couple of years,sidewall now showing signs of cracks.

Not too deep but short surface cracks,anyone know if this would be an MOT failure.

or does anyone know if it is possible to find new bar grip tyres,not new old stock.

Thanks.

Hi Mate.

yeh taking the Bedford and Willys down on a Friday Afternoon.

Looking forward to seeing the As New Munga Restoration.:-\

Darren.

Looks like a good event.

will see what I have in the attic and give it a try.

Can anyone tell me if The Roof top Canvas for a Daf can be also used on a Bedford MJ,are they the same part number.

Thanks.
