ArtistsRifles Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Long story short - Water pump bearing on Pauls Landie gave up the ghost whilst rumbling across the plains, taking out the rad in the process. As a stop gap he was towed to the next scheduled stop enroute, the Bombard area, by Sean101 (I think). Once there Mike, Vince and Mark hooked the Landie up onto Mikes Ward as pictured - there's a video clip on HMVFTV of the process. They towed the Landie back to base where Paul & Andy stripped the old pump and mullah'd radiator out and refitted replacements that the team located for them. And all before the skittle contest started!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 A better solution for fuel economy would be to put the WLF behind the 109. Even if you had to double or even triple head it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 All very helpful, but I've heard rumours about TTM being seen in the dead of night with screwdrivrs and hammers. :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
