Isn't there an Austin Gipsy in that as well? where two officers watch in feigned horro as an aircraft crashes. Then disappaer behind a gorse bush. One grabs the door handle of a vehicle. Gipsy! No doubt! the handle shape is unique!:-D

Welcome Marcus! Very welcome! Rosie will be your friend for life, the club house wine cellar is getting a bit low.:-D

Welcome Malcom.

Still, it was transfered to the next victim, an old Subaru L series. On that, though engine running fine, the MOT emissions, no cat of course, were so low the engine shouldn't have been running. :cool2: Mibd you, I did have an old Series 1 that had belonged to a White Witch. In the dashboard was a little sacking bag filled with various weird things. I was told it would be unlucky to take it out. So I did! Then had a puncture , the rad hose go and distributor cap crack in a week. Put it back in and no more problems.

Welcome in

Worked on a QL split rim! :-D

Most pictures show the use of Tirfor typw winches.

Now, my practical experience of the Brocquet is that they do work. I ran an old Montego, suposedly unusable with unleaded petrol for a good few years with a Brocquet. Still got the Broquet.

So just another money maker for the boy racer market then? Wonder how long before all the tyre places offer it?

There were some ex German portable bead splitters at Beltring some while back, just add compressor. Very nice kit, a mate has one. Anyone know if they are still around to buy? Tyre levers, get some 8 foot scaffold poles cut a slot then weld in a pice off and old Landy leaf spring.

Just looked up the density's. Of course temprature is the factor. I've heard N is supposed to run cooler, so saves wear. The thought of NO2 in the tyres is hilarious (Sorry pills in post, again!) :-D Apparently on really heavy machinery the brakeing force can cause so much heat in tyres they catch fire, hence the use of N.

A place near me is now offering this service at £1 per tyre. I know it makes sense on large hot running wheels. Apparently teh tubed type of tyre on the Dodge can be done very easily. Anyone any ideas or information on the pros and cons. Most important, can you mix N & compresed air in emergency?

Far simpler if you have a truck or agricultural tyre place nearby, to drop a tenner in the tea box and ask them to breack the beads. On old tyres they can get stubborn. I've seen the 'put a jack under the front of the truck' lifting the truck quite happily. Best to take the wheels and tyres straight off the vehicle, then allow them to do it. You can help with a bottle of Fairy liquid or similar. Soack the beads right round inside and out for a week or so. If you soack the washing up bottle in a bucket of very hot water before application it helps.

If you don't want it please pass on details! :tup:::flowers:

Still very practical vehicle. If it hasn't been messed about then a real find. A lot have been re-engined and chopped about as off roaders.Usual caveats, check bulkhead and chassis for rot etc. I'd bite the hand off for it. Check the door tops, there are often various numbers and markings just painted straight over.

Interminable repeats of The Dirty Dozen on at the moment. Full of vehicles, very good except...A couple of M series Dodges. Now you can never have enough Dodges, but does grate a bit. There is also a German QLR at the end. Allowable as captured vehicles were used, The M ambulance has a weird siren on the roof though.

Welcome in, you'll be busy.

On the 101 there is a light switch attached to the top of the right rear door. Covered by a twist sheild. When open if the door opened the internals switch from white to blue.

There is one Wirless car No1 at Blandford.

Fantastic dedication, a beautiful job.

A few years ago I was in court when a pice of human waste was sentenced for mugging an old lady of about £7. He got very idingnant yelling 'Well I gota eat ain't I?'. Another pair on motorbikes decide to have some fun with an old guy walking his dog. Unfortunatley they picked on a guy who had been a farrier, and had a long stout walking stick. :cool2: One had a brocken jaw the other very nasty abrasions, after the stick went through the front wheel of the bike. The scum then complained to the Police who went out to prosecute the old guy. Now over the years he had always looked after the local travellers ponies. On the day of the trial the witneses failed to turn up. Not all traveller's are bad. Has happened in Jersey as well. Good thing is 9x5 miles with disruptuion of ferry and airport due to weather . You can run you ****** but there's no where to hide!

RAF ambulances had distinct diffrences from Army ones. The most noticable would be a permenat slave heater and battrey charge. The vehicles were kept ready for hot start. Having seen the new Pinzagouer Crash vehicle. Well , the por old 101 was well past the sell by date. The new one is kitted out to make any NHS hospital critical ward sick!

Well tool station have a raaaather nice extendable ratchet 1/2'' drive . Have to leave the catalouge 'Lying about'.:-D Actually Bernard a nice hard flat banging the belabours out of surface on the handle end would be useful.

Well bashing 'em through that would be a cost effective deterent! :cool2:

Red internal lights in an ambulance? That would be wrong. The internal night lights of ambulances are blue. Why? Because you can't see blood under red light.
