In this video we replace the magneto and fit 6 new spark plugs to one side of the main engine. We then bump start the ARV with the Foden SAS Landrover arrives AMX 13 arrives
My working theory is that Ted is actually a white dog covered in engine oil from being petted all the time. Another great episode, don't ever try to get too polished and professional. Now in the right frame of mind to take the starter motor and lift pump off the tractor. I realise where I have been going wrong with my mechanical work is the lack of suitable head wear.
Good evening gents. I think you will find that Land Rover was employed as early ARV by the Met Police at Heathrow airport. The amber lights was for use airside. AYL with T suffix was a Met number plate of my memory serves me correctly. P.S. Luv the channel
The mighty Foden is definitely the workhorse of the yard, it's a pity they are no longer built Good to see you have more fire extinguishers. Great stuff and a great channel.
Well.... if its not on fire and you're not beating the fire out with jacket.... you're just not trying enough. That Foden is worth its weight in gold !!! pulled that thing like taking a piss.
Excellent bit of finessing with the large adjusting spanner. Oh, see if you can get in touch with the Fire Safety Officer at your local hospital. They are likely to have hundreds of retired extinguishers (Foam, Powder & CO2) that they'd probably let you have for free. - Speaking from experience.

Yes indeed, great fun being had by all! Think you need some slightly bigger extinguishers for next time, good to see you making progress on these heritage vehicles so you can get them working again, sometime.
Nice to see a little conflagration, takes me back to my Chertsey days when we got a Conq with Windsor turret back across Long Valley. The fuelling failed so some loon got it going by pouring petrol from a Jerry, straight down the inlet. I followed at a distance.
You know you have to work in the freezing cold and the rain and snow, right? Knew a couple of Aussies in Perth, building labourers. They told me they had a year out in the UK and to make ends meet, they worked on sites. First time it rained, they headed for the site hut. ‘OY, wankers, fuck you off to’. 😂🤣
I do have to say for working on such big and expensive things they are working with a limited amount of tools every time I see someone with an adjustable wrench in hand to do the smallest task I have more tools to work on cheep turds of cars manufactured in todays time cars that won’t last as long as those tank though. y’all keep up the good work guys love watching y’all keep history alive and know
I'd love to see you guys doing work on a Ferret, Saladin or Saracen too. Maybe as I make my way through your videos I'll find something. I'm 23 years old and within the next few months I am buying my own Ferret. It's a big leap for me to be taking but I can't wait and I am learning plenty from this channel.
I discovered by complete accident that if you spray loose nut on what ever is burning hot by torches the loose nut will evaporate in a cloud of toxic fumes before it reaches what ever is seized up. So mechanics like myself and millions of others think that using a copious amount of heat and loose nut will do the trick. Well the only "loose" you will get is a temporary buzz of loose nut fumes without actually loosening anything. I've discovered this while working on an exhaust manifold of a Ford car. The torches were out of Acetylene so I had to improvise. I needed the manifold bolts so it was imperative to spare them. So I went for a simple propane torch and I had the idea of using 15W40 and I saw the rust gobble up the oil where it was mostly needed. The heat was enough to loose the exhaust manifold bolts but not hot enough to vaporise the thick oil so the lubricant got into the threads and got loose easy. So less heat more lubricant is the idea instead of superheat and not lubricant in the threads at all.
I mind being on the back decks of a Cent arv in Batus in the 80s, when the engine went up in flames whilst it was pulling my brocken down Chieftain. You've never seen tankies jump off the side of moving vehicle so fast in your life...honestly though it was going to go boom but tge Reme driver pulled the fire extinguishers and then we all had to await a further double recovery....in a red template...squeaky bum time!!
love the videos and boyish banter - feel the love haha - completes my weekend quite shocked you didn't have the marshmallows at hand - slackers Seb has an OBE, they give them to anyone don't they, nothing means he's of any use unless he does a good brew back in the day i knew a chap who was semi-retired from them SAS boys - in the day he was one of the chaps in the back garden during the Iranian siege handcuffing all who came out the back door ready for processing, i.e. those who should be there and known by staff and those who were up to no good - apparently them there SAS boys asked the police very nicely if they could borrow there nice new shiny 72 seat coach as they could get everyone and their kit onboard (i believe at the time the bus was used by a London police band, band of what i don't know) apparently them police said no, so the nice boys from Hereford went and repossessed it - there had been some discussion about who owned it, the police thought they did (natural mistake to make really) and the Hereford lads thought it belonged to someone called EIIR which of course means its theirs - i often wonder how true the story was, it sounds very likely, and the way it was told to me sounded very genuine, but either way still a funny story - i got a load of those
Watched a M10 being started once jerry can for fuel tank electric pump on top of jerry can jerry can on steel deck once the pump welded its self to the jerry can and the jerry can welded its self to the decking well it got really exiting at that point LOL
Tip on the CO2 extinguisher from a firefighter, you'll get a lot more out of it if you have it on in one large burst rather than lots of small ones. Will be more effective at starving the flame of oxygen too.
Now I know the answer to a question I was gonna ask in another video about the what looks like a White armed response / paddy wagon Land Rover . . . . . Need to invest in more fire extinguishers guys. . . . . . Almost every video I’ve seen so far has had things on fire in them lol. Daniel.
I am not a tank engine guy, but if you got that much backfire there is something with either the valves opening in the wrong moment or the spark happening at the wrong time
@@MrHewes Nice to meet you and Ted! Shame we couldn't have stayed longer to chat, but thanks for the tea. Hope to see you soon (with or without more extinguishers)
It's unlikely to be a SAS land Rover, unless they stole it from the MET at Heathrow. I wouldn't rule out that possibility. The beggers will steal anything that's not fastened down. I've seen them do that too!
This is so funny to watch, "that was a walk in the park"😂 "Mint condition" I worked on all this when I was in the Reme years and it was a pile of crap then
I think your a good team and Eager. But that gas axe runs at 1200 deg . So a quick joke cold End up nasty .so have fun but Stay in charge . He will tell you At a later time that hes hand is Saw. I see a guy once attempting Un coil.the pipes .and tun the torch scross hes face In seconds he had white blister Straight scross face luckily It didnt catch is eyes .take Care and take note.

Mr Huge, you are closing in on being awarded the accolade for having the sketchiest AF channel on UA-cam. Supreme effort, keep going!

with all that easy start, petrol and liberal gas axe application perhaps the next purchase should red and made by Dennis!
It’s always a good sign when the Engine is on fire when you’re trying to start it😂 You know you’re doing everything right
At least you know you have fuel, maybe not in the right place though lol
The mighty Foden is definitely the workhorse of the yard, it's a pity they are no longer built Good to see you have more fire extinguishers. Great stuff and a great channel.
Leave it to the Brits to invent an extinguisher that accelerates a fire instead of putting it out ;) Top job guys. Keep the content coming!
Well.... if its not on fire and you're not beating the fire out with jacket.... you're just not trying enough. That Foden is worth its weight in gold !!! pulled that thing like taking a piss.
Another cracking instalment from the team. Really cool the way you dealt with the fires even after the extinguishers ran out. No flappers in your mob.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration of the magneto! You guys are awesome and I'm happy to see you guys getting the views you deserve!
I amazed that they had a spare magneto just hanging around!
This is fantastic.... reminds me when I am at work I have very similar antics
Lol keep up the good work 👏

That land rover is very cool indeed 😎 👌 love to see a will it start on that 😂
Good idea 🤣
aint got no gas init
French fried potatoes...
You guys are always entertaining!
Looking forward to seeing that AMX-13 move!
Thanks, Mr Hewes, that was top fun. 👍
Like a dream job, heavy machinery and fire. Very envious! 😂
Thanks lads very informative 🇬🇧
Yes indeed, great fun being had by all! Think you need some slightly bigger extinguishers for next time, good to see you making progress on these heritage vehicles so you can get them working again, sometime.
They are being sold to either Ukraine or Russia. Depending on the highest bid.
Don’t talk utter rubbish! I won’t deal with either
I know the Ukrainians are going wild for FV432 platform vehicles. Buying them by the hundred from private dealers.
@@MrHewes I agree it's utter rubbish, why would you sell your extinguishers?. 😁
@@MrHewes A joke my friend, just a joke.
But if the price was right ...
@ 2:50, must have been SOOO tempting to set your bobble alight 😂🤣.

FIRE! FIRE! Don't panic Mr Mannering.

There’s a Ferret at the Gloucesters Regt Museum. It’s outside so you could crane it out for free?

Great watch 👍

I stopped watching when you had the load mouthed guy doing the commentary. I’ve come back to your channel now and so glad I did. So much better now!

I’m starting to want a foden just to pull crap round 🤣😍

AMX-13 is very nice but how on earth did you get your hands on one!
A mate down the pub told me that landrover was second onto the balcony during the Iranian job.....
Adam has gone full pikey spec, he needs more tea
Joe, would you like some more extinguishers? I have a large collection of expired ones that I would be happy to donate to the cause.
That would be most fantastic!!
@@MrHewes How would I go about getting in touch?
If you still need any more after you have these from spacewalrus I’ve got a pallet load you can have.

rough arse engineering at it's finest :)
I thought the guy with the fire extinguishers was spraying gasoline--he'd spray one place and more fire came out on the other side. 😁
🤣
9:23 that's why they use them on aircraft
AMX 13 WOW
@16:30 its like watching my warthunder crew try to figure out what to do before unlocking fpv
I admire the no fucks given attitude to engineering.
This is so funny to watch, "that was a walk in the park"😂
"Mint condition"

New experimental External Combustion Engine?
What do you do with restored or repaired tanks, once you’re done fixing them?
Don't worry. I'm sure it's just the original heating setting in 😂
When brake cleaner or easy start isn’t manly enough for your tank try Lynx Africa 🔥🏴👍🏻
Dropped on your channel, seen what your up against, I bet my mate ex rem 91 , would get that running In 4hrs......

Stay in charge . He will tell you
At a later time that hes hand is
Saw. I see a guy once attempting
Un coil.the pipes .and tun the torch scross hes face
In seconds he had white blister
Straight scross face luckily
It didnt catch is eyes .take
Care and take note.
Did someone switch out the fire extinguishers contents for petrol?
After watching this a second enjoyable time.... should I send you a longer cold chisel ?
What is it the bloke says in Jaws? ‘We’re gonna need a bigger fire extinguisher.’
buckets of sand can be useful if going towards a rebuild anyway
How manu oxy bottles? That catches there will be a hole where the farm use to be lol
Definitely need more fire extinguishers

Timing problem, valves hanging open, but doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result is definitely insane
The title should have been that it fired up. That would have been true in more ways

Wonder why they don’t use petrol anymore
are the mags the same as stationary the are designed to havean impulse on them so they start at low spped
