Hello glad you could joinsus. Pull up something and dive in.

M25 Junction 3! Forgive me I've only lived round here ....... years!:red:

Welcome! You will probably be asked for a lot of translation.

You're a gent Sir!!

Stone, I reckon you'll find the prices have gone up a bit since then! I was stupid, when the Cat 3 licence came in I could have got one automatically but never applied! The stupidity of youth!

As you say not much hope of a rewind. Might be worth giving Charge and Start a ring. They are at Welling near Dartford. An old fashioned workshop very skilled at odd bits. If you could post. The number is 0208 301 3144

What stae are the connecting pips on the end of teh arm? Might they just need a judicous rebuild? Drill out replace with small BA nut and bolt then file to fit. All the old tricks coming out!

Thanks Clive for info and posting. Can I print a copy? And is there somewhere you can get civvy equiv for mill spec?

I take it you mean the Royal Kent showground? Brill! The show is really going places then!

Welcome Ben (You poor sap!) Ferrets are nasty little things that bite! And are a complete nightmare to keep out of holes. There is the opertunity to buy a Man's Truck at bargin price, that would move your stock nicley!

'MOI!!' SING!! Even I'm not that much of a ****** :-X

Proves one thing, MV owner in the **** AGAIN! :-D

Careful about volunteering articales. A certain person will being PMing you mercilessly! But yes please, there would be an intrest in teh diffrences.

Cat C licence isn't a cheap option. Medical, theory test, then practicaL practical instruction and test. Say around £2000. The theory and hazard perception test certificate are valid for two years so you should consider getting that out of the way before starting practical, the LGV Handbook and LGV?PCV Theory test book from HMSO The advantage is that may also earn you a living. That will require an additional CPC. The whole CPC is a face saving device from Europe, the value of it improved skills are nil. The Artic test is now the Cat C plus E (trailer ) entitilment.

Just had a look in the Range Rover manual. Early 4 speed main manual box with limeted slip diff. Hypoid SAE 80EP. Later four sped SAE 20W/50 Transfer box. Early four speed ltd slip diff SAE90EP later 20W/50 Hope this of some use.

Pack well in a bagwith plebty of dried warm Silca gel packets! That should clear any condensation. Maybe it should be done at the start?

Welcome Ian, no you may not have Victory or Warrior, they will be missed! Seeing as I'm in early let me sing the virtues of a Dodge WC51......:sleep: Don't knock the Botties! They stop the Navy having to do nasty things like wallow about in the mud!

Yeah yeah... You know it would have been easier and cheaper to hire a removal firm. Stop making excuses!

:-X:-X:-X:-X The reply to this post has been well and properly ******** !

Save the rain forest!!

Did Peugeout make a van version of the car? Reason for aking, there is a picture of some Luftwaffe vehicles in Jersy on the Jersey Holoucast Menrorial site. From teh CIOS libary, one is a van with a similar if not identical front.

The thing is most people get it the wrong way round. The ammunition is designed first, then a gun to chuck it out of. The need is to defeat the oppositions latest armour. So a Ballastician designs a new shell and propellant, the enginner then has to design a breech to hold the charge in,physical and explosivly, a new rifiling set, a new barrel to stand the weight and speed of the projectile, consider that you are chuking a lump of metal from standstill to 1000g in les than a heart beat. Then produce design drawings, then manufacture one and fire the beast, then sort out all the little problems you hadn't considered. Then re tool then allocate materials, including somewhere a new alloy or process, bet on it. Then start changing the vehicle to fit the whole new contraption. That it happned at all in five years is a miracle!

Welcome Carmen. The Dodge parking always has room for another, we just squash another Jeep.

I have a copy of the ambulance supplement for the 101. Can't remember where it came from. I'll dig it out and pass on the info. Babel fish will translate whole web pages.

There are some new EEc regulations coming in concerning Private HGV's. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of them. The main concern seems to be 'REST'. Defined as time which you do what you want. The trouble may arise if you are working all week, then drive your toy. Have you had suficent 'REST'? The current idea sems to be that you can claim driving your toy for fun is rest. Don't know how it would stack up though. Currently though, CPC's are only required if the MAIN part of your job is driving PCV or LGV commercially. If it is only part of the job ie you are a PCV, LGV mechanic, and only drive them to and from workshops or on tests, or your a scaffolder :shake: you don't need one. Confusing or what?
