Markheliops Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hold - stop the press - The Wards __**_*_ broken again - holy mother of ---jam. Went to organise bits and pieces today and when I moved the Ward I applied the brakes and she dumped air from somewhere at the front. Wonder if the quick release valve diaphram is holed? Well thats Lingfield messed up then - won't be there after all - sorry Mark. Fed up with this - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There is no quick release valve on the front. More likely one of the brake cylinders is leaking. Remember, it is a 60 year old truck, and until you have personally been through and checked/serviced/repaired/restored just about every system, you will occasionally get problems. Nearlly there now.... Just you air system, front axle and transfer box to do now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beg to differ young Grasshopper - The quick release valve is situated just behind the front winch on the chassis crossmember - Check your manual young man - thats a beer you owe me.

Markheliops Quite right Mr Mark. & 10 points to you. We'll think of an oily greasy job for Grasshopper in penance for not knowing all about our fabulous trucks . Now Mark - put on your best happy face and go and find out what the problem is: it may be a loose pipe or hose or some similar and equally easily-repaired thingummy. You have another truck there and a big pile of spares so it shouldn't be too bad. You may note how easy it is for me to say this from 2000 miles away but it really can't be THAT bad. I'd suggest you put the kettle on, run the truck up to full air pressure, leave it running and wedge the brake pedal down to find out where the leak is. Then have tea and choccy bikkies. This will make everything seem better so you can do the repair and get to the show . - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Mark, I am free Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday if thats any good to ya!, I can come and press the brake pedal for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I recieved the happy news at lunchtime today that it's fixed again so the WLF grin should be in evidence at the weekend after all . - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Quite right Mr Tootallmike. Took the Ward by the wings and went up today for a last ditch attempted to get it repaired fior Lingfield. Found the problem. The quick release valve (which I haven't got Vince) LOL - diaphram was holed. This is the offending diaphram. Took the diaphram out of the spare quick release valve on the other truck. Everything is A okay now. Probably going to be a winter project to renew all brake diaphrams and overhaul the complete system. Never been estatic about the Wards brakes. Anyway - see you at Lingfield. Mark - see you at the farm. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
