tech II

The info that I've received from the Capitan is, ser # 35 g 22 20314 ??? there is no tag on the veh to support this that I have found, the only tags I can find are on some of the parts, the engine tag is b80 no1 mk6a, 10185, although the paper work that came with the veh from lionheart veh comp. reads engine # 10692 ???, I'm not to familiar with how this was purchased. Since I'm new to your site, what is bovvy??. Thanks Denver.

Hello all I was wondering if anyone knows what fluid i should use for my steering gear on my Mk 5 Saracen???? I just finished putting the hydraulic system back together today and now going through complete fluid services, the trans had gear oil in it like some kind of 90w. I did find some info on the net about some fluid ref, at http://www.fv432.com/oil.htm. I'm going to fill the trans and gear box with sae 30w, I was told to run 15w-40 for engine oil in the b80 engine is this okay or should I run 30w in there as well?? Thanks for your input have a great weekend. DENVER.

I was wondering how to tell when or who manufactured the SARACEN that I have,By some of the pictures that I have seen and info I have read I belive it is a mk5 uparmored??. I'm in the process of trying to get some pic's posted.
