There was a small set back, but I suppose for every ying there has to be a yang, but we'll talk about that later.

I was waiting for the personal injury report and then pleased to read that it was "only" damaged metal work.

Looking for any suggestions to which engine Oil I now put in, the last oil change I googled OMD 90 or was it 80?

Either contact Morris Lubricants:-

https://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/products/cv.html

or try this, although I assume that the lubricants will be for European use not hotter climates:-

Anyhows found the one we used to use, an eqivelant online- wasn’t expensive and seem to think it was a bit crap? What would you suggest.

Oil is the same as everything else, you get what you pay for. It is worth paying the extra for heavy duty or extra heavy duty engine oils because they contain more additives than standard oil.  

An interesting read:-

At least, it is about to find a new home where hopefully it will be restored and not broken for spares.

If it is JSP404:-

If you can't see a leg to measure and draw, you maybe be able to get enough details from page 7 in this pdf:-

It looks as if the "sold price" is the "hammer price" plus the buyers premium but no VAT. I've come to this conclusion because if you divide the "sold price" by 1.1 the result is a round figure ending in £50, £100 or £1,000. Not done this to all the lots but enough to satisfy that myself that the results are consistent. 

Hammer price £8,000

Buyer premium £800

VAT on premium £160

VAT on APC £1,600

Total £10,560

The radiator fan basically makes the engine compartment a wind-tunnel.

I assume, that you are also confident that the cooling system can cope with the extra heat.

Searching "p14 rifle parts for sale" comes up with sites that have the items that you need.

The hole is for the starting handle.

Everything but precise dates of entry into service unfortunately. Not much of interest to most people I guess.

Perhaps more interest from The Defence Electronics History Society:-

The answer should be at one of these links.

Also, does anyone have any useful information on FH70? I've been trying to get hold of a manual but without success.

The FH70 in the British army was called "Howitzer 155mm L121"

Although, it has been out of service since 1999 (?) you could try a FOI request.

Also, contact the Royal Artillery Museum Archive:-

This forum is deadly quiet lately and a lot of usual suspects have disappeared so not getting the feedback I would have expected.

A shame that the 'disappeared' didn't give the new forum more of a go before they left us!
