    No problems here. I bookmark HMVF on the New Post page and it opens up in the normal way.

    The US selected short medics to crew Dodge ambulances, no problem.

    My BT email webpage has the padlock symbol showing as locked.

    I made my own loom for the WOT6 and as it had to have indicators and brake lights, it was not exactly as its 1940's wiring diagram. Yours will be custom made as well with the weasel engine.

    All looking good on both mobile and pc. No problems with me posting photos as I send them straight from my Picture file on pc.

    Chris, I see that you are using your phone, and just realised private message or mail icon does not show on my phone but the black text I was referring to shows up on the laptop at top right, where your personal icon should show. Obviously some issue when looking on a phone. I am only a moderator and not able to check out any of this, it will be down to Jack and Joris. Richard

    Test page to see if I can load a photo Looks like I can load my photos just as before.

    John, I can see the icons at the top but they are in black, they still work if you hover over them. I think our webmaster should be able to change the icons and text to white or yellow. regards, Richard

    I have emailed Jack about this, so hopefully he can resolve the problem.

    Iain, The email address of this 'new member' is at invisionpower.com and it would indicate it to be related to the website server as this is shown as Invision on the bottom of the page. We need Jack or Joris on to the case, where are they ????

    Not just you, somebody has been messing around, HMVF header has gone, all photos have gone leaving a link, which if you click on, does not open. Maybe the site has been hacked?

    Hi Roy, Good job you did not take your test in the 10 ton Albion RE machinery wagon, they were incredibly heavy to steer, not helped by the big lathe across the front end of the body.
  17. Richard Farrant
    Hi Iain, Right truck but wrong body, looks like a workshop body from a Bedford RL. The Albion had the same design workshop body as used on the Fordson WOT6 and Bedford QL, canvas tilt with fold down sides to act as work benches. I remember one of these still in service in late 70's.

    Hi Roy, no problem regards Richard

    Hi Roy, The REME Museum and SEME vehicle collection are now based at Lyneham, if you contact them ask for Roger Jones as he looked after the vehicles at Bordon and is still with the museum at its new home. regards, Richard

    K-Seal is the best, it never blocks radiators, but seals weeps quickly. Well known in the trade. Just a thought, did you get the gasket the right way up? I have rebuilt many Bedford engines without problems, so it has to be something simple. As I said, re-torque the head to 80lb/ft in the correct tightening sequence.
  21. Richard Farrant
    Once warmed up, retighten to same torque (as Mike has stated), then check the valve clearances again. You often find it will go down a bit more. Incidentally, I recommend K-Seal for leaks in the cooling system, it will not block the radiator. Better than the dog turds we used to use (Barseal!), they did cause problems.

    The Panther arrived at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns this week, he is a TV news item;

    A really interesting story and a sad ending. Thank you for relating it. regards Richard

    Definitely black, I worked on 100's of them in Workshops. The tanks may well have been repaired at some point in service and painted green then.

    Hi Dave, I'm good thanks, still firing on all cylinders! Are you still involved with Steve's museum collection?
