    ive got an old pipe thats going for scrap if you want it, started welding up the huge hole then decided on a new one... you could either repair it or use it as a template

    MV Enthusiasts are generally very friendly, go and buy a veteran car and see what they are like, rattlesnakes are friendly in comparison....

    Any idea what they might be worth Due to a change in circumstances, there's a possibility im going to have to have a sell up. :-( Reo has had a paint job and new tan canvas since this photo was taken.

    Hi Paul, meeting sounds good to me. i havent done anything to the living van since the cold weather arrived, seems like its been winter forever.... started the Scammell last weekend for the first time in about 4 months, surprisingly the batteries have held up ok in the cold, lots and lots of black smoke, has made me a bit keener to get it uncovered and take it out for a little run to the pub in the next few weeks. hope youre getting on ok with yours rgds mark

    Ive got my Explorer covered by Autohome. make sure you tell them i must not be suspend towed., cost about an extra £15 a year. They told me on the phone, it only covers for £1500 worth of recovery, so with something big on a low loader, your only going to get 1 call out.

    Does anyone reconise this? in the Holton Heath, Dorset area? came across it on one of those Urbex forums, who ever owns it might want to consider moving it so a safer location....

    I read that horse bugers can give you the serious trots... we've got about 1" of snow.

    Scammell Explorer with an on-board tyre inflation system, how does this work, the gauge on it shows air pressure, but the rest is so covered with layers of paint and such that its difficult to see how it works. there is a small lever on the front, again all stuck up with paint. ???

    well yes i think it is... i was expecting a little socket. where on earth will i find one of those? were they fitted to other vehicles also?
  24. sprockett2103
    Hi. the slave socket on my explorer has been removed, can anyone send me some photos of what it looks like plz? i did think about fitting anderson type sockets, but would prefer to try and get hold of an original. thanks

    Hi, Had a play with the jib winch, which seems ok, just some grease here and there, i had some tips from the Ian the previous owner, very helpful, sounds like the drum sticks, so a little nudge with a bar needed. i hate these dark wet evenings, having to wait until the weekend to fiddle, in the process of refitting the living van, i bought a crash damaged caravan and now in the process of fitting it all in. i could do with being retired or have a few months paid holiday to get all the jobs done. hows your engine install going, pretty major work...
