Hi Vicente,

I do not understand your question...maybe if you asked your question in Spanish someone on here may be able to translate?

Looks like a normal night out in Brannigans in Crawley? :rolleyes:

You won't find them as Ferret items. The ebay seller below has the master cylinders and servos NOS.

As everyone else has said it would be worth replacing the rubber and steel brake pipes.

Andy, I think it was you who pointed me to these guys when I relaced the master cylinder (causing that odd issue of the brake lights coming on when left for a day or so). Delivery was real quick, easy to fit etc...just make sure its the 1.5 inch one you order as they also do a 1.25inch

in fact..this one:

Impressive is probably not quite the right word, but surprising the disk did not just fold up!!!

I would go along with the comments about running them on a regular basis, my 101 servo leaks if left standing, but seals itself if used. My old ferret would hate being left standing, especially the gears and points....best thing I did was convert the 101 to electronic ignition.

The other thing with the lightweight, it cannot really be mistaken for anything but military

PM sent

I guess its kinda the same, but from what I remember on the Ferret, the front right and left rear are the same unit, and front left, rear right....cannot say I remember why that is, apart from the location of the relief valve?

Mick

Looking at the way the wipers are parked suggest a right hooker?

£270 is a great price

All thats needed now is a supplier of fishtails!!!

I'll set 'em up...you knock 'em down

I must say I prefer the look of the cab on the unrestored one...much more "Thunderbirds"

They certianly look military, and there are a few of them.

Personally I think MVs that are not green make a very pleasant change, and they certainly stand out at a show.

I know. I have been on the end of idiotic behavoiur from other road users at times too. BUT, Keep clam & behave with dignity, courtesy & Quiet Pride when you are using your beloved vehicle on the pubic Highways.

 

Mmmmm...I think for the most part we HAVE to? Driving military vehicles, whether a landrover or armour teaches you how to drive properly again. I for one am 100 times more aware of my surroundings with regards road conditions, stopping distances, pre-empting others actions etc. I do not have the luxury or ABS, airbags etc...and it has certainly made me a calmer and more considerate driver.....I enjoy driving something different, and would certainly not let a bad driver ruin my trip out....like you say "let it go"

Mick

Robin,

you probably are not too far from the truth there, and for us law abiding citizens I think that could be a good thing...and remember we are probably about the same size as most US states, so a bit easier to do!

Unfortunately, I would guess the people involved in these stunts do not have any thoughts for the military vehicle movement, as they have another agenda (whether that is political or financial)...unlike those on here who have each others' interests at heart, and a much longer term view.

Sorry Degsey, I was just trying to funny

I agree there is more dishonesty these days, and I think some of it is people are more transient these days (not only moving houses/towns/counties) but also countries...so fewer folk look out for each other.

The other is there is that technology allows people to scam other people without meeting face-to-face...its easier i guess if you dehumanise your dishonesty?

And finally, how else will I be able to transfer my money out of the country due to the dictatorship, straight into your account if that pleasing your kind self.

Its so obviously a scam.....having worked with Indian IT support desks they never ring back, and know nothing about IT! :cool2:

If its not in the air, its either in a bunker or a submarine?

Either that, or dry cleaning instructions...never understood those either.

Are you sure that was not a Humber Pig?

Did you have an idea of what you were after? Any pics?

Mick

There is a scam going on at the local Tesco carpark here right now....so be aware!!!

You will be approached by two tall blond Ukrainian girls asking directions, as they lean in your window they will force there way into your car then get you to drive them back to their place. They then spend the night having their evil way with you. Its only on the way home that you realise they have stolen your wallet.

It happened to me last Tuesday, Thursday and two times on Friday.

ps...anyone know where I can buy some cheap wallets?

Looking for his wallet?

What you want to do is a straight swap for a lovely 101

I'll be there in my Australian looky-likey 101...probably banished to the carpark unlike when I attended in the Ferret
