  1. great idea, a lot to see and do. http://www.ieper.be/ieper_en.aspx?SGREF=10587 the link is ieper town site.
  2. Well if you are inclined, try a left hand drive 101. the height plus low cut blouses, can lead to sterring problems :-o :evil:
  3. One simple trick for seized engines. Take a large pan of engine oil, heat gently till it starts to go rainbowy coloured and pour into bores. Diesel works better if you mix with paraffin. Used to use this on outboards that had sunk in the sea.
  4. 'ere that steam cleanears a bit viscous, or was the Car wash brushes a bit abrasive?
  5. Oh goody :beer: :beer: the Headmaster's away! :evil:

    True Simon I have a pressure bleed and wouldn't be without it. However on some of the older ones the master cylinder is a :argh: to get at. Aslo the cap has an internal thread. It is possible to modify a new cap to fit but if the access is restricted Vacum is a lot simpler. One problem on some WW2 vehicles is actually being able to keep up with the fluid into the master.
  7. yes but with the Dodge you can hide the Jeep from the babes. it's size that matters. :evil:
  8. Unfortunatley thats the way it now is. Condor recently quoted in the Evening Post 'We charge what the market will stand', which as they are the only ferry to the UK means what they like. The new director of Jersy Airport came up with 'Low cost airlines would lower the tone of the island'. Makes you wonder if the States want a tourism industry.
  9. A quote from Condor, the monopoly ferry company in the Jersy paper the Evening post latley says it all 'We charge what think the market will stand'. ie pay up you have no choice. :cry:
  10. Holt's do a blockweld which is quite good. Dakar at Dartford 01322614044 do a south African leak sealear, I can't remember the name but it is spot on. Supposedly only for commercial use but ask Barry nicely and he will sell you a couple of bottles.

    Can I recommend to them that don't have. A vacum bleeder. Clarkes part CHT470. So much easier on the oldies than a pressure bleed as it fits on the wheel cylinder bleeds. Does need a small compressor to run it but so much easier on vehicles with internal thread master cylinder caps.
  12. If you need to think about the money, you don't want it.
  13. Weellll there is another oldie'I'm a Pink Toothbrush'
  14. for my Dodge, The theme from Indiana Jones, yes I'll grow up one day. For the 101 'Three wheels on my Wagon.' :-( Or second thoughts, 'Show me the way to get home' Or that old favourite 'Get out and get under'
  15. no I used to work for Ken down at the aero club hanagar with the radios for a while. My mother always had open house for various stranded piolts when the fog came down, and a lot of Mr B's crew had digs there. Those were the days.
  16. Welcome to the 101 moaners club. Only those that own know
  17. Like the whole Little Dunkirk. From 23rd to 26th May this was the eacuation of trops from St Malo by Channel Island fishing vessels and yachts
  18. Dakman, not INTRA by any chance. I knew those old heaps only to well
  19. The playstation generation, can't actually drive the realthing
  20. Would anybody on the forum do that? Sympathy may be because you have bought a jeep, but take the mike. :schocked:
  21. My experience of doing that is it is always the same bit broken on both. :dunno:
  22. We have GOT to get some way of pooling photos! I have dozens of other peoples kit and no way of sharing them out.
  23. I agree Snapper. If your visiting Ieper it would be very very rude not to sample the food, drink and beer. The Cloth Hall musuem is worth a visit. If we are going to take militarys I know a couple of 25 pounders outside a musuem that are need of rescue :evil:
