D Coy are coming over from N Ireland Monday to Sunday with our usual selection of Land Rover VPKs, WMIK and RB44. If Kent was closer we'd bring heavier toys and armour! Sent from my XT1039 using Tapatalk

The brake switch on the servo needs to be adjusted very carefully to get it to consistently work, once this is done they normally last about 5 years. The voltage will vary between 24 and 28v and is OK. The worst thing for them is not using the vehicle as the switch plunger sticks through lack of use and cannot be fixed J

Its sitting on a forklift cradle

Cab over engine vehicles are warm, I run my unimog without door tops all year and only pit on the heater for five minutes to demist the windscreen!

Works well did a tank conversion 20 years ago as a test and sealed it with POR 15, its so good I've yet to get the permanent tank made! And it been bounced off the ground on a Leaf spring land rover used every week J

Shes basically a hull with tracks. J

The initial design work for the tank that became the Churchill undertaken by Harland and wolf and some production work was at a small shadow factory on the woodbourne road in carrickfergus, hence the "new" tank to replace the 25 pound gun that was previously at the war memorial. J

Nothing quite like getting a fly in your mouth whilst trying to change down into 3rd on a corner in a 404! Brilliant J

I've been helping filming and providing 4x4’s for 20 years working on major films and TV in my spare time. Due to my skills Ive made some big money rebuilding landrovers to spec and providing logistics but it is very ad Hoc work, usually at ten minutes notice to their demands. I'm lucky in that Ireland has a small film comunity and I'm well known for providing what's needed and being adaptable . If you have one wagon don't expect it to be correct for the TV needs they will want to repaint it and remove all the bits you spent years getting! And it's up to you to drive it, fuel it and guarentee it won't break down! Don't expect to make money, enjoy the experience and IF you turn a profit reinvest it in the vehicle.

definately Clansman PDB, can be fitted to 12 and 24v vehicles as its a single outlet type its probably on a 12v vehicle.24v wagons normally had the 3 outlet type or multiples of. j

Are your expanders missing? I've always got them to free up even when the trailer has been on scrap pile for 30 years? J Sent from my ONE TOUCH 983 using Tapatalk 2

The anti beer barrel bars fitted to RUC landrovers as standard as in the above photos were fitted to some VPK fitted 109s or Piglets for use in certain areas. The HVPK 109 or Piglet had a heavier version of anti barrel bar fitted as standard. I've seen enough of them over the years. J Sent from my ONE TOUCH 983 using Tapatalk 2

They use the same tyre size as the Unimog 404, go to ebay.de and type in 10.5 r 20 reifen and you will get them new or NOS fairly cheaply. J Sent from my ONE TOUCH 983 using Tapatalk 2

Depending on the sankey type some eyes rotate others DO NOT it normally says on a plate on the hitch. This is why the vehicle NATO hitch can be locked or rotate to match the trailer, one MUST rotate or you can loose your vehicule and trailer! I have seen it happen several times. I don't think your trailer hitch needs dismantled it either turns or not, try a large bar through the eye and see if it turns. J Sent from my ONE TOUCH 983 using Tapatalk 2

A suitable 2 pin plug could be used to supply 24v to the PDB. The number of batteries depends on the mounting, allegedly the army isn't allowed to lift two big batteries for Health and Safety anymore so uses four small ones? :eek: Sent from my ONE TOUCH 983 using Tapatalk 2
