Hoseman

I got a doctors note for all of them, at least once a day for the rest of my life. :nut: Just found out that this WORK is terminal!!!!:beer:

I was there this afternoon, going back on my own tomorrow as missus can't take that much excitement (so she tells me) an excellent time! If you at loose end tomos get down there, great day out. Loads of trade stalls, refreshments, huge beer tent, some tractor things n gee gees! Loads of green stuff, great turn out by my local MVT. even got an Aussie MG carrier there!

Im a hydraulics engineer and see this sort of thing all the time on older machines. Usually find by pinching the hose along its length until you find a soft/weak spot and thats it! Might have been a contributing cause to the wear in your pump too, oil starvation! Very common on brake lines too, not very often checked and when getting a brake imbalance normally the caliper or slides that are blamed! If you do change a brake caliper or cylinders, check hoses too for external cracking, damage, corrosion of the end fittings, and collapse. If any of the above or just caution, change as a matter of course, worth it for an extra few quid!! Any help let me know and see what I can do.

I will take note of vehicles and names and see if I can match them up and say hello. Hoping to get there all day saturday, if not Sunday afternoon!

Just take me clothes off.....skins waterproof!!

I dont stay over night (havent the appropriate hall pass!!) and I think im only going Saturday. Most of the Cheshire MVT will be there and im friends with Rob Langley, one of the commitee guys. Missus doesnt like `Green` stuff so no beer tent for me either!!!!

MALPAS SHOW this weekend september 7th and 8th Malpas, Cheshire. Great show and a must for vehicle nuts like us! Steam, Military Vehicles, Classic Cars, Horses, Bikes, Crafts and Trade stalls and BOATS!! (Model in the tent!) See website for further info. Guaranteed a great day out http://www.malpas-yesteryear-rally.co.uk/rally.htm

I dont know as actually cant remember where on e bay I saw it. I was trawling for Universal Carrier parts so dont know how I got there mate! Maybe in tracked vehicles or barn finds???

Wandering around, minding my own business and fell over this (Honest Officer...!) Parked at a mates yard, dont know if it actually is his tho, he wasnt there and I was actually just wandering round! Data plate says 16A/2245 AMBULANCE CRASH RESCUE AUSTIN 1 TON 4X4 ME& Co Ltd Cont No 6/VEH/22911 Chassis number had been ground off tho!!!

Bloody hell mate, who was playing that day....???:shocked:

Just a quick on on this. I was trawling e bay last night and came across someone selling a Moke advertised as a prototype! I don't recall where or what section it was in. Wasn't a good pic but defiantly not civilian in looks! Hope this is some help to someone here.

Go for the drive, take missus or mate. Stop off at memorial museum at Canberra (i think), make it an overnite, few beers, sights etc. Can't beat it, only bout 11 hrs drive, share driving and hell of a lot cheaper than paying transport!

As Pete says, with the warm weather weve had here, condensation will build up in the crankcase and mix with the oil causing `Mayonnaise` in the oil. If a vehicle is only static run up, even hot sometimes this isnt enough to burn it off. Ideally it needs a run out every week if being stored, keeps the cobwebs at bay too. I used to service an old womans renault 5 years ago, only used it to go the shops half mile up the road once a week! first thing i would do is take the scenic route to the workshops after collecting and shhot up the motorway. Should have seen the cr*p that used to blow out the exhaust every time, then clear up eventually!! I know its difficult to take it for a run all the time but even in and out the garage, up the drive ets, HELL, across the lawn and imagine yourself in the hedgerows of Normandy (Please wear correct combat uniform and take lots of pics!!) as they were built to do! When you get arrested, questioned and put in the padded cell, just remember.....YOU DONT KNOW ME!!!! :nut:

He will have a bloody sixth trailer at this rate never mind sense!!!!:nut:

In which case (don't laugh or fob this off) liquid metal!! Not a bodge as many think. Clean all paint and residue off surface, open crack if need be for better penetration. Rough surface for better adhesion. I use brake cleaner to deep clean after all this and mix n apply liquid metal. Leave overnights best and lasts an age! As an example, I repaired a hairline crack in my fuel pump on my Mercedes sprinter til I had time to fit New unit, lasted a month til changed and still dry!!!

I was going to suggest a trickle charger, especially as its not a daily driver. It will condition your battery, keep it at its peak and you can keep it connected without worry, especially if you get what's called an "intelligent" one.

Used to sell this stuff in halfords and motorbikes. Ideal for cracked and broken gearbox housings. Cast too. Heated of some excellent results in the classic car mags. Cleanliness is the secret, if you think it's clean then do it again to be sure. Not sure if you need a flux tho! Probably wouldn't hurt to TIN the surfaces too before hand.

Do I get half a prize caus I spotted the booth but not the dozer!! Lol Nice job you are ding there nd nice booth.....

You used to be able to buy shocks oil desperately. What about forks oil used in motorbikes? I'm a hydraulics engineer and can help decipher an oil code if not clear! Bottle Jack oil can be just an ordinary hydraulic 46 grade oil which is what I normally top them up with after repair.

YOUR POSTING THIS PERVERSE MATERIAL.....!!!! Theres grown men on here, have more sensitivity please, you will have us reaching for the Kleenex for the wrong reasons (crying!!):blush:

I recon we go round to the guys house and beat him up with the tyre iron off the Millie...........MILLIES REVENGE!!!:mad::mad:

Looking hard for pictures of hoses.....!! Lol Looks good mate, got to have vision to build something like that, and a screw loose!!! Lol

Yep, im a classic Ford man and the 100e did have Tryco wipers. Get in touch with the Ford 100e owners club, they willl have a technical guy who can help.

bloody hell, whats the price of scrap nowadays???? Not much left of thoes, saw better scrapped at Nortons metals in liverpool last year!!!
