Welcome to the HMVF Roger :-)

Things I remember............. bumpering corridors, cleaning windows with newspaper, lining up for injections, bulling boots, bed blocks, range declarations, spray on starch, drying rooms, compo rations inc oatmeal blocks, site guard, wet kit and blisters, good mates, girls and BEER :-D

This could be an earthing problem, check all earth leads to body/chassis removing and cleaning them to ensure a good connection. Have you got the right battery for the job ? Is the actual starter switch getting hot ? Another thing is, are the Earth leads 6v items, because 6v leads are much thicker than 12v ones, many starting problems with 6v systems occur when people use incorrect leads. When I bought my jeep it turned over very slowly, I was at the point of changing to 12v when I stumbled across an American website which stressed that any 6v vehicle should turn over properly IF it has PROPER 6v wiring. I changed to 6v leads and problem solved My jeep starts better than many 12v converted jeeps now and since then I have sorted several others with the same problem merely by fitting the CORRECT leads. Good Luck.

The outriggers and footwells rot out as does the rear cross member and dumb irons ( where the front bumper fixes). Check that it isn't already in 4wd hiding a broken rear half shaft. The usual engine and running gear check for any car applies oil in water, water in oil etc etc. Door tops also rust although they are relatively cheap to replace. Ex Military chassis are usually better protected and better grade steel anyway so not quite as bad as civilian models but rust is the killer on ALL Land Rovers so check that first, engines and running gear are less of a problem, at least in the UK, because spares and replacements are everywhere. Good Luck :-D

Welcome to the HMVF Ben. Nice collection you have there any pictures ? :-)

MK ? Lovely trucks, I took my Class 3 in one in BAOR. I think maybe the MVT (Military Vehicle Trust) will be your best bet, a fantastic club and they should be able to help with registration issues, they have verification officers and all the contacts to enable the whole process to go smoothly and easily. Good luck. :-)
