Hi Jack,

can you not name the vehicle or engine type ??? as we know certain vehicles/engines have various traits to them, nuff said.

No2 may be brake shoe related ?

Ashley

Folks,

 

A dear friend of mine owns a WW11 German mv and is trying to get it complete for the show season but is having some problems with it that he can't solve.

 

Dave isn't a member here yet but will get him to login. He asked me if we could help. I was going to offer my services but thought that I would give everyone else a chance to solve it first......:coffee:

 

So here are the problems....

 

It's a 6 cylinder diesel engine.

 

Problem 1: Running excessively smoky which may be due to the injector spacing

Problem 2: When driven there is a thumping noise which would appear to be coming from the front off side of the vehicle. It increases/decreases with speed. My thoughts are a worn hub or universal joint as the differential is fine.

Problem 3: When idling, the engine produces a clunking noise which I can't locate!

 

It also needs a basic service/check as the head gasket has recently been replaced.

 

I said to Dave that we would have this solved in no time! :sweat:

 

Any help would be very very appreciated!

 

Kind regards,

 

Jack.

I think that the guy who took the film "From D-Day to Berlin" was GEORGE STEVENS, not Frederick Stephens.

Hi all, I have a green ( if that's any help ) 3 cylinder Lister diesel engine, and need to carry out an oil change, would anyone know what the recommended oil to use in it is, and how much of it ?

 

The next question you are all going to ask is what type is it !!!! I have no idea, might get some pics later today, so can anyone point me to a web site which shows the different engines ?

Hmmmm in contest with Jack then...... as he goes for a stationary engine when the price of fuel rises :-D

Ashley

Ash don't say that, Chris and the rest of the range staff we be round riffleing through your caravan looking for lurchers and other furry critters HEHE. Looks as we are going to have to get the bronze green paint out again and paint your Caravan to look like some sort of Military vehicle........

P.S. do they still have music festivals at Stonehenge ??

I also understood that as part of the `Normandy Memiore(sp)` all vehicles on the Tour this year have to pay 5€ for the privlage ??

I thought that these laws had been in force for some time, but never acted apon.

Really fasanating film CW thanks for posting.

It seems to have been adapted using the original wheels?

Ashley

Hi Rambo,

if its Hk Dave from Dorset see him fairly often, at to-nights MVT meeting actually and he`s looking well for 61 yrs old :shocked: i have have a telephone number for him and know he wil be at the plains this year as well as Beltring.

Ashley

Yes but in the current economic down turn all this sort of stuff will loost value and things will become more readily accesible for the less financially influenced among us.

However tanks and such things willcontinue to make lots of money and i have to admit if mynumbers came up the first thing i would do is bugy a sherman no doubt.

What does everyone else think?

Al

HHMMMMM do not agree with this, it seem more of a case of .......

money in short supply + [some areas of work in short supply] = high prices to compensate for the possible { lack } of work in the future...talking to some people in the building trade

Ashley

Hi Neil,

very sorry to hear of your problems matehopeyou get a solution soon.

P.S. you`ll have to get Mr`s P to kick start the stolley :idea:

Found this clip on youtube of an experimental carrier based unit called a "Praying Mantis" has any one else heard of this ? there is also a short section at the start of putting tracks on duel axle trucks

There is one at Bovington Tank Museum, it could be one of the two shown as it is just down the road from Studland.
