  1. Welcome Gareth, a strange intrest. So said I'll be picking your brains for certain. A mock up narrow gauge would go well with the Ternch Experience the 10th Essex have ben puttig on.
  2. Happy birthday, you old soack. Keep the end up!
  3. Well he was suitably bitched at! Having spent the day at Pirbright for Regular and TA Passing out parade. The British Squaddie flag is in good hands.
  4. I'll will make a point of bitching in his ear directly!! Off to Pirbright now for his Passing Out Parade. Don't need to tell you how I feel.
  5. Yes Norman, should have said 'Pick wood carfully'. A god wodden base helps, especially on soft ground. The addition of a bit of beading round the jack base helps keep it in place.I
  6. The CO was extremly upset. Not done to shoot a sitting bird!
  7. The new anti corrosion treatment is now deememd u msuitable for Alimiuim.
  8. You can good bottle jacks of around twelve tons for about £30/35 . Always better to be overjacked than under. Bottles do have a high lift, but quite a narrow top. I get round it by countersinking a piece of wood then sticking the top of the jack in that. I would never rely on a jack of any type alone. Been there lucky to get away with it. I'd rather invest in a set of good very heavy axle stands.
  9. If you can make a Dart engine viable after it's been in service , you can work miricles! If you can make a Dart engine viable anytime. Most Dart's coming out will be Euro 2 at best surley. What normally happens is the vehicle gets passed on to the provencies where they don't care.
  10. Found it! Just pump LEZ registration checker into search engine. So now my Disco is coming up 'Not subject to the emission zone'. The Dodge is coming up 'Exempt from emission zone'. Knowing how TfL weasel words I am wondering about the diffrences. Was going to comment on database used, decided blood pressure and Moderators might not like it. Please note: In some instances the compliance checker may not currently provide the correct compliance status of your vehicle. You can check your vehicle status using the compliance flowchart.
  11. Can't find checker. Will look again. Stupid descions from central based people. Especially as I'm in KENT!!
  12. I have just e mailed TfL a question on the Discovery Commercial . Let's see what answer they come with with.
  13. Does need regular maintainence though. :cool2:
  14. Try living where I do. In...out... in ..out, shake it all about. Legal for two hundred yards ,illegal for two hundred yards.. Complete and total !"£$££"&* up the whole thinmg! :banghead: My Disco, 200tdi with windows in the back goes where it want, Friends Disco 300tdi with out windows, can't.
  15. This weeks Channel 4 Titanic- The mision concentrated on electricity. They were using a steam dockyard boiler and an Allen set from Preston srvices. The voltage was about 400v. Now what's intresting me is did these produce AC or DC current?
  16. Looks like a copy of the 420cm German Big bertha mortatrs built by Krupp.
  17. Hey boss, he's asking for a jump start!
  18. Welcome Igor, come and join an International company of similar minds.
  19. Not that I know of. Most vehicle clubs are not intrested in the extra hassle. The Group has to have a constitution, photographic mebership cards and third party liability insurance.
