Obviously the driver is an First Class qualified MV driver! :-D Wonder if my boss would consider letting me do a re-run of the jump in the film Speed, but with a Double Decker this time! :cool2:

Power= Voltage x amps so to make the same power a 6 volt neeeds twice the amps of a 12 volt. As current runs ON a wire not in it, is is the surface area that is important, and clean tight bounds. The other thing is consider investing in an electronic ignition, lot easier and more reliable than conventional. So saying Katy my 6 volt WC54 started on convetional, despite being set 22 before TDC! You can jump start from 12 volt BUT turn all lights off and just touch the jump leads, as soon as it fires take away! The new type gel battreies are amazing and hold charge for a long time, but are ***** expensive. I have a standard 6 volt lead acid which works fine.

Got to be true! After all it is in the Daily Mail! :-D

Actually my 6 volt turns over quite quickly. It is a matter of cleanliness being more important than godliness. :-D I have a very good spray protective wax for my electrical components, but if you can get Shellac varnish once everything is clean and tight! Give it a coat of that. Dosen't hurt to add a second thick earth strap to a diffrent earth.

From my experience about the only time the AA cured anything! :cool2:

It's BRACING!! Even Noah only had to put with forty days of bad weather. If it isn't cold and frozen it's six inches of mud!

Obvoius questions first. Is the engine turning over freely? Are you getting a spark at the plugs, and is the fuel getting up?As for switches and earth lead, disconnect and clean everything up bright first. Six or 12 volt?

Welcome back!

Welcome along.

Bad time,.but Andy's right to misquote 'All the lambs ever bred anin't worth one man dead'.

Welcome Dan, please post pictures of your new toy.

Yeah, even Noah only had to put up with 40 days of *&^ weather! Great news though, anoyher one out to play.

Welcome in,

I'd recommend Vactan for the rust. Water based easy to apply economical to use and extremly effective. What's the inside of the tank like though? There is a stuff called Petropatch that is the buissness for sealing pin hole s and seppage.

The only info I have is that it was Peter's Grandmother. I gather she was quite a woman, two wars down.

I've always used Green Flag, with never any comment or question, as long as the vehicle is under 2.5 tons.

A Friend's Grandmother and an BRC ambulance supplied from Jersey, I'd be intrested to know what type they are

ASC became RASC in 1918.

From the straw boaters and the white upright collars, plus the cut of the jackets I'd give the time line prior to WW1 and with a lot of civillians, possibly some form of open day? The dress is upper clas style.

So what's hapned to Global Warming then?

Welcome Roy.

Companys seem to make it up as they go along!

Any body know where I can get a ex military Huskies and sled? More snow lying in South East edge of London than has all winter! :DOh I feel sorry for you Paul, all weekend to spend with a Bombadier.

The other people who ran civvy Land Rovers were the USAF. When based at British bases the US Security Police used them. The US were not allowed to carry arms outside the base, any armed perimiter was done by MOD Plod.

A LARGER bowser? Careful you'll be getting orders from Rosie for a Wine bowser next! :-D
