antar Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You have not even given any idea where it is located. Why bother trying to start it, they will tow with an average sized agricultural tractor, just go and pull it out to an appropriate place for loading.

Billruston Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 North weild Essex, there's nothing there like that otherwise I would, we can't get our lorry on it as it's to far in the feild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would have thought that checking the usual suspects plugs, points, condenser and tapping into the fuel supply bypassing the petrol tank would be a good place to start. Fresh batteries and a phone number of someone who owns a petrol engined 432 to give a bit of advice would be a great help. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks Andy, going to have a crack tomorrow. If it can roll I reckon my k9 could pull it just if the grass so the bigger truck can load it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is that the APC that's in a field in Gurnon Bushes, just the other side of the M11 from North Wield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Glad to see that she's going to get used. Still I will miss seeing her on my drive to work, not a lot else to see on the M11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyFowler Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]86850[/ATTACH]There are needs a good steam wash Could be sand coloured under the white Bill , think this may have once belonged to a friend of mine ! If she is the same one she was once reliable and road registered and driven on the road at the time ! May have some writing on the drivers side front wing just under the lights if the white paint washes off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the interview for the 9th in the land warfare volunteer Yep, still there. Not too sure if I'll be there on the 9th as I think I got the folks over. Nothing wrong with petrol, if it's new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Andy, had it running fine tomorrow, hope she's reliable because it has to drive on the lorry!, I was quite surprised at the time we had no throttle at all and she started up and warmed up with ease!
