What about the Trade Description Act, this is obviously a massive misrepresentation or doesn't the Act apply to auctioneers?

This thread is on the same topic, with a very useful piece of advice:-

The thing to do is ask the auctioneer for a "Condition report"

They are legally obliged to be accurate and fair!

If you use blue Hylomar gasket goo as in N.O.S.'s post you shouldn't destroy the gasket when the sump is removed next time because the sealant is non-setting.

If you have a power supply, a dehumidifier would be the ultimate aid for long term storage but as your container is subject to ambient temperatures, you may need a dehumidifier that works at a lower temperature than a domestic unit will.

Thanks for the link, I got some info from them but I refuse to pay obscene prices for what is essentially a few pages. I'm happy to give a nominal fee however.

 

I have got the vast majority free through the kindness of enthusiasts, paid for the rest.

When I pass it on it shall also be free.

 

Kind Regards,

Alec

FIREARMS LAW. A scoping Consultation Paper:-

Thank you for the information.

My Jeep does not have indicators permanently fitted but I have rigged up a self contained indicator set inside a WW2 ammo box that sits between the seats and runs off its own dry cell 12v bike battery. The indicators are magnetic and I just stick them on each corner. This way once safely at a show I can return my Jeep back to standard with no issues, everything drops back into the ammo box, close the lid and it's just a piece of kit in the back.

I also built my own replica Jeep trailer (I'm poor ) using a Sankey trailer chassis, I have used the original Jeep lighting socket so it just has rear lights and brake lights however I can also run a set of indicators for the trailer via a socket inside the ammo box working in conjunction with the magnetic Jeep ones. This way I am safe but the Jeep isn't altered in any way.

A clever solution, safety without spoiling originality.

I would like to know the about the following please:-

With you self contained indicator set, have you included the indicator switch and warning light (and/or an audible warning) in the ammo box or are they magnetic? If magnetic do you use the dash or the steering column?

Does your setup give you hazard warning lights?

What indicator lamps are you using?

Thank you for the information about buying an Armstrong. I'm not looking for an Armstrong, the post was just to let people know about the auction.

Lets hope so. As I understand it, the Holt tractor is an important stepping stone in the development of the tank, starting military use of a tracked vehicle to move artillery.

Hopefully the Tank Museum will start fund raising and be able to apply for a Lottery grant.

As a matter of interest, is the engine seized through lack of use or did it seize while it was running?

Don't be impatient with the soaking because as in an earlier post it may take even a month to work.
