    The tool for securing the plate on was called a 'tool combination ' or 'combi tool' It fitted all the filler plugs and drain plugs. It could also be used to open hatches from the outside. We also used it as a weight for throwing d10 up into trees so that we could hoist cam nets up.

    Chieftain looks great .Thanks for keeping another beast running . Quil shaft removal and replacement was always a bit if a dark art. They always had to be kept in the bin on the side that they came out of when removed for towing.

    got to love Hot Panty Jack - he fits those shorrrrrts oh so well, and over trousers, i'm impressed, and his voice never went up while climbing the steps - next week is high heels week
    and we can't see what Joe is wearing behind the camera - a tank top - the glasses is a nice touch, such a bright lad
    after being advised to use the words reinsert, removed glasses and resorted to 'sliding it in'
    is the lever for 1st, 2nd and 'run away' gear
    Jacks pretty nifty with the old ratchet, but why hasn't he, i mean why hasn't Joe got him a cordless ratchet, use a 3/8s with 1/4 converter, it saves him putting the tool on and walking round in circles
    loving the banter as ever, always a joy to watch

    Is there a reason why you use WD40 when you installed the bolts (13.00mins )? WD40 is a poor lubrication, so wouldn't copper slip be better ( unless it's "'ally") ? P.S. I know little to nothing about military vehicles so I'm genuinely interested as to why you use it, other than as a release agent? Great channel by the way and to say I'm jealous of you and the crew playing with big toys is an understatement! Keep up the good work!
