Does the rattle sound as soon as the ignition is turned on, or does the coolant warning come on when you turn on the ignition and stay on when the engine starts? Trying to work out if the tempratue warning is wrong because you know it is on when the engine is cold having just started. That would suggest a wiring fault or the temprature sensor is not working. Stupid as it sounds, try putting a bit of butter or margarine under the fan belt, see if that stops it temporaily.

To start with the Jackal is nothing like a Land Rover. Even Armoured vehicles have a top cover man.

They were also use da smarching lamps. Two white at front two red at back of marching troop formations.

I know it was a spelling mistake, but visions of troops digging in trees to winch on, hell we don't use any Kraut trees!

Batteries rely on a chemical reaction, cold slows a chemical reaction, heat speeds them up .

Best battery charger I've had was £9.99 from Lidil it is an Ultimate Speed ULG 3.8 A1 12/6 volt charges, with winter setting and motorcycle /car setting works a treat. Sometimes a battery is so low that it won't acept charge. Try connecting another charged battery in parralel for about twenty minutes when you put charger on.Can bring a 'dead' battery back.

Hope you won't have to use them to often. Beter put the link in. https://www.autotronics.co.uk/

Had the remote key fob on a Discovery disintigrate, bit annoying as the imobiliser won't turn of fso it's stuck! Land Rover prices to replace more than it's worth. So I went on line to luck and found Autotronics in Leicester. Now this fob was amess muck inside, one switch half off the PC board. Could they fix it? Theyasured me yes. So Isent it Wednesday, got a text, Thursday it had arrived . Got a text Friday lunch time all fixed., sorry can't get it back to you over weekend will be Monday. Arived home from work today key fob through door and it works! Total cost about a third of Land Rover prices and no ned to have a visit or take vehicle for reproggraming. They also do instrument clusters , and abs control units, ECU, TCU and it seems anything that beeps squeacks and blows up on modern vehicles with monotnous regularity. I'm very imprssed by them.

Goran Mon V! You will have to wait a couple of months I'm afraid...but... I have just booked to go on a guided tour of Bletchley Park in May with group of friends, so closer in let me know what you want to know, and I'll happily ask the questions. The Special Liason Units were seperate from Bletchl;ey Park. The Middle East one was a place called the Grove in Cairo. I was lucky enough to speack to an old lady who had served there when she was visitng her daughter in Jersey and they came to the Libeartion Show. The old lady was looking at some radio kit and made an odd remark about working on such equipment in Eygpt. That piqued my intrest and after taliking to her for a few minutes I mentioned the Grove. She went red and said'I'm not supposed to talk about that'. Turned out her daughter and family knew nothing about what thier mother had done, till I told them and she opened up a bit.

Wwelcome in

SLU with First Army.

I'd be worried if you did have a vested intrest! What have you got buried in the back garden?

The Royal Corp of Signals had I think it was eleven little Austin radio cars, all but one were lost at Dunkirk. The survivor broke down on it's way to France and was dumped in a barn in England.

Sorry for delay but e mail sent use if you wish.

On Land Rovers I've always known them as Striker Plates.

I had a petrol Esperbacher in the 101 ambulance. Don't think it was supposed to be used when vehicle was mobile. Try the Bus nuts (Can't believe I've just said that!) sallon heaters for buses operate whilst vehicle is running. Optare do a particullaly good version. Funnily enough my old 109 Series 3 Artic FFR that has turned up again locally has an extension hot water, heater system between the front seats, that I know from trying to work out how to switch it off in summer, works bloody well!

Countryside Aliance then?

That's going to make one hell of a Snowmobile!

The requirment for Reailstic Imitation Firearms, ie proper coloured airsoft or BB . is membership of an organisation with third party public liability insurance. I am also a member of the Countryside Alliance. That has a third party members insurance that specifically mentions shooting sports and military re-enactments. As MVT now have a member's public liability insurance it covers. I can understand a supplier doing Due Dilligence to cover their own backside. You'd need to meet the same criteria to buy a RIFF Realistic Imitation Firearm, unless it was Rainbow colour, and would commit an offence under the Violent Crime Reduction Act by re painting it. So you see what a total load of Bovine Offal the system is ?

I've used the MVT card before now, reason for purchase display on a military vehicle. Never had a problem, I have a number of realistic airsoft replicas. .

The rain gets above freezing in June and July, almost tepid in August! As stated Snowflake in London! Panic in the streets! Transport Chaos! Panic buying of food!. Oh sorry that was just Christmas. Better towards end of May though, you could even get to Jersey for the May 9th Liberation Day! Try Fort Nelson, Explosion and the RN Submarine musuem. You can do those in a busy day as they are all in Portsmouth and Southsea. You GOT to see the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior they are things if you miss you'l spend the rest of your life regretting! Oh and the submarine museum, that has the reamins of what some dammed Irish American by the name of Holland produced, paid for the by Sinn Fein to attack the Royal Navy! However when he got a bit free with Sinn Fein's cash they had a falling out. So Holland up sticks and sold his submarine to the Royal Navy. Holland 1 was raised after it sunk whilst being towed to scrap and is now on display. You would NOT get me down in that thing! Chatham Historic Dockyard should also go on the consider list. Another odd little thought, US Marine and naval issue Zippo's! Very good for bribing Jack and the bootnecks. An old Royal Navy custom is to get the crews of US Warships as Tierd as a Newt (ie paraliticly drunk) then nick Zippos. Ah wondeful traditions!

I've used a lot of their stuff from vehicle to chain saw oils, never a problem.

Looks like the Old Girls will see us all out! Mine are slated for my Grandaughters.

Axis forces used a similar type of vessel known as an F or Flac Lighter. Some ended up in Jersey used to escort convoys to from the Island's.

Standard blue is available. I get from my local factors.
