    Have you checked the kick down switch is not stuck on or out of adjustment?

    You could try Stuart Bray Motorcycles: 01323 488148 they currently have a listing on Milweb.

    That reminded me of the kinetic energy recovery system built into the 5th wheel.

    Is that the one which used to live on the south coast, I remember supplying the owner with some gearbox parts about 20 years ago?

    Out of interest Rob, is the tanker insulated return or conventional?

    Well done, that sounds really good and the larger tyres look the part. FYI all four Martian variants had the same gearing of 14.9:1 in top compared with 6.795:1 for the diesel AEC Militant recovery.

    Have you seen the photo on the 1978 LB run or were you the owner at the time? https://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p971350189/h507b4532#h507b4532

    Did I spot Revolution wheels on the A35?

    Not run for 10 years? More likely the jets in the carb are blocked with varnish from the degraded fuel.

    ^ Good find!

    Looks similar to a Naiade class??

    Thanks for posting those Andy, I was going to call in myself but got dragged into work. How are you getting on with Daisy, about time we had an update?

    That's a rare beast, is that the one with the two rims bolted together and a large hole where the centre normally is?

    Did you manage to identify the crankcase/cylinder stud threads?

    Upkeep, Tallboy, Grand Slam and the 1200 lb Blockbuster used either the larger E type trolley or the H type which was an E type with loading winches.

    Those 16.00s look good on the front, did you manage to find a complete set of the AEC wheels?

    TD5 can have a crazy problem where engine oil percolates along the injector cables and fills the engine ecu with oil. Seen two like that but as they were sales cars we simply opened up the loom and put a blob of solder on each wire and cleaned out the ecu.

    If these are for the Maxter you would need to downrate it, the rear axle is plated at 11.5 tons and the tyres are 164 load rated which is 10 tons for the pair.

    Are you not confusing bead locks with run flat inserts? Bead locks do what you suggest and allow tyres to be run at low pressures for increased footprint in soft terrain without coming off the rim, run flat inserts take up most of the space that would normally be filled with air to enable a tyre to carry the weight if punctured. 10 stud wheels can have several variations, the offset is different between vehicles and they can be either hub centric or stud centric.

    An expression made famous by Bruce McLaren to describe a vehicle with poor handling, essentially 20 pounds of shite in a 10 pound bag....
