super heavy duty waterproof proper ex army tarpaulin for sale. Very heavy-min. 2 man lift. in very good condition, no damage, no rips or tears, all eyelets undamaged etc. Ideal for vehicle(s) coverage, roofing etc. Pickup only-east kent £95

it looks like two four cylinder engine combined back to back. As the exhaust ports in the cylinder open into the crankcase-is the exhaust vented out through a hollow driveshaft?

has anyone bought one of these or used them in civvy street? any good?

Hi Bob,

L3A1 is the british practice grenade, I think the screw in fuse/ handle top has slots either side of the flange that this  would fit into. but I may be wrong!......

check out the cute Steyr-puch Haflinger or its bigger brother the Pinzgauer

both  have incredible off road capability. Pinzgauer is still in use with the MoD but quite recently some really nice condition late turbo diesels were auctioned off by withams at reasonable prices

I found a boxed item with part no 9cvt 1015 99 821 4880-can anyone tell what vehicle this is for please?

thank you-I never knew they used small tugs and trolleys! but it does make sense. National Trust now owns large areas at st margarets and its good to see gunsites Jane and Clem now being excavated and restored

bother no one going looks like atrip to get three tubs of vaseline is on the cards...how annoying...

ok, no one else has rumbled this-lets see.....analy retentive council planning officers?  three tubs of vaseline ?

anyone know of a suitable ending........

There were quite a few very large calibre gun installations at the st margarets, and bearing in mind the hilly terrain, how did they get such large calibre ammunition to the batteries, and  how was it moved from the magazines to the guns?

The gun sites are open to the public, but its a puzzle as to how they shifted 15" shells around? 

nice 432 just now advertised on milweb-asking 16500. Be quick if you're serious otherwise it will be gone (probably for a conversion).........

a lot of maybes, plenty of scaremongering, and a whole load of new additional fees just waiting in the wings.

lets just hope we impose those same new tarifs on traffic entering.

Does anyone know what it sold for?

its so compact-slip on a bell housing, clutch and gearbox, that would make one awesome custom!

wow they had some really good toys then-how on earth was it all done without  modern electronics-especially the planes!

both have their pros and cons, personally I love CVRT's to drive but track supply is extremely difficult. Famously a cvrt was demonstrated doing a full throttle neutral turn at Bovington. It started turning with brand new track fitted. 24 minutes later the track pads were worn down to the steel ribs!

brand new production 432 track pads are readily available  to joe public at around a tenner each, held in by one nut and easily and quickly changed.

although cvrt's can fetch north of  £28000, a good 432 can still be found for under £20k 

It may not be the AVR, as all they do is sense output voltage and vary excitation voltage to suit. Most AVRs are totally sealed against moisture and have a protection fuse. Could be the windings at fault. There is a simple quick test that will show if your AVR is duff and demonstrate what the alternator is capable of producing  

get a competent person to do this first so you know where the fault lies

I gather they were retired in 2015 so just 5 years of use.

does anyone know why they were taken out of service? I have seen two in a scrapyard in remarkably complete condition

first of the Warthogs is now being  offered by Brightwells-be interesting to see what it sells for!

One wonders what the law is in the Ukraine, re exporting of stuff like this?

highly unlikely to get out of the country without paying some 'fees' at the border!

out walking this afternoon and found this in the woods. there is more in the denser undergrowth, maybe another vehicle?

pretty much everything then

towers I think refers to turrets

Surely the number of privately owned AFVs is dwarfed by those in military service, and I know they have been commandeered on at least one occasion by crewmen and driven on public roads. As this is something that can happen at any time, should all AFVs be banned altogether? Just a thought.

service personnell and equipment is closely controlled and monitored and so much less likely to go awray, there is no control over privately owned vehicles, who as a tiny minority as easy targets. Either way, you can't predict or legislate against someone going nuts

Out of interest does anyone know what existing or potential problem the German lawmakers think they are addressing? Is it anti-terrorist? anti- far-right? fear of public uprising? ...?

remember the german pensioner with a running and driving WWII Panther IV (oh that by the way is probably worth millions) well, now they can legally confiscate that, and anything else worth having. strange how on one hand they are doing this, but sold off german army Leopards, Marders, and Gepards at knock down prices to anyone????????
