Welcome in.

Try something from this lot. I've used many of thir products over the years and always had good results. http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-gb/productselector/cleaning.php

How about, something like a Chore Horse or BSA charging set? All the same bits as a big engine, but you can put it on a table.

Whatever you don't take, that will breack! Rescue tape, or hose tape and cable ties.

Welcome Sir!

Welcome in.

Funny how its all smiles, going out of Weymouth.:cool2:

The one problem I've had with a window is the channel that holds the bottom of the glass. Can rust and drop of rasing mech. The top part of the windows frame is removable, but I was able to rplace it easy enough.

The only way to find out if it is any good, is to fire it.

One of each, then you get experience on side and top valve.

One bug bear of the manual Disco. The clutch relase fork. It is a pressed metal piece with a cup that the ball end of the push rod from the slave fits into. Its held by a plastic clip which can breack. That normally dosen't present a problem whilst the system is assembled. But the ball head can push right through the fork, with no warning. There is a refornced version available from Britpart. The auto diseil can suffer from turbo lag, but twitch the injector pump and that disappears.

The S prefix was dropped from the rifle in 1937,though it can appear on later rifles. The code S/42 should be the manufacture's code for Mauser at Obendorf Am Neckar. Stil a manufcturer area for Firearms.

My old 101 ambulance is over there. Now I have the WC54. There is something about ambulances though. They are special trucks.

Of course! :kiss:

Personal experience mate! :-D Yes no cam belt, but having worked on Number One Son's TD5 I'm sticking with the 300. Though to be honest for pure work I'd rather have the grunt of the 200. Unfortunatley the old 200 started to rust around the roof line, and the 300 was the more economic bet. My lottery win is going to be a Classic Range Rover with Isuzu engine and the running gear tuned up by Giggle pin! :-D Though both the 200 and 300 Disco can be breathed on, leave the plug off the EGR and twitch the pump, makes a lot of diffrence. My 300 did 480 miles the other week up to North London , down to Ashford, over the France around Calais Du Nord, then back. Used about £70 in Disiel. Comfortable to srive cruised happily at 65 /70 mph,. Complete cam belt set for them about £90, change as matter of course . Incdently have you tried the FORD engined 110? My advice DON'T!!!! So many pipes and wires you can't even see the Bl**dy engine! :nut:

OHHH Deear! It 's Roosie's Little Red Dress alllll overr agin! :-D

What is it with the Danes and Land Rover ambulances? Welecome in, nice truck.

Welcome Henry! I've been priviliged to acompany a number of archeologists on WW1 and WW2 sites. I admire the work you do. Post questions we'd love to help.

I'd go for a Disco 200tdi or 300tdi. The TD5 is a complete Rat's a** spares are three times as expensive, working on anything on them is a nightmare! You can get a decent 200/300 for under a £1000 and then spend a bit more to get it up to 'new' standard and still have pennies in the pocket. Watch out for rust under the back floor and inner wings, both bits are available as pattern cheap enough. The 300 is easier to work on for cam belts etc, but the 200 has lower end grunt.

That's bad! Very bad! Not stuck on the Alcohol free are you?:wow:

Any chance of copies of the maps? :-D A.S.C nicknamed Alley Slopper's Cavalary after an early version of Andy Capp. Then Royal Army Service Corp (Run Away Someones Coming) now the Royal Logistic Corp, Raelly Large Company . This is the link to the RLC musuem http://www.rlcmuseum.co.uk/uem

Bit of the wall , but have you tried NFU the National farmers Union? After all a lot of agricultural equipment isn't used on the road.

Welcome, you are now approaching that magic time when you are old enough to be considered wise, still young enough to be stupid.

For once I'm sure Degsey will agree. There was a slogan on the workshop at college 'Good oil and grease is cheaper than repairs'.
