    Picked up an R2 crash truck today...

    That was a terrific find. What a great restoration project. Well worth collecting and saving to present at displays etc, and to enjoy driving around the local vista when completed. I am so impressed with the siren light!. the whole thing is so original. (and desirable). Enclosed a picture of my...

    soon to be the owner of an M543!

    Well done. That is quite some tidy and aggressive looking truck. You will have a load of fun (and use)with it. Quite like the.."African safari" paintwork!. some pictures of the arrival, and the resultant inspection would be a great (further) post.

    larger tires on 816 or not

    68.MPH!? Curious to know what tires you are running at the moment. Standard 1100 or 1200? It would seem you are running (quite!) a few revolutions OVER the engine destruction speed.

    engine remap

    OK, then if you have the know how, go for it. My lad re-mapped my Renault Clio (1500cc turbo diesel) (I was rather reluctant! at the time) but now, wow, it has power I am astonished with..And it also now does..............86 MPG! you may not get quite that with your truck!..But..hey.

    Question - Assistance with marker and rear light on M1031

    That could be a little or a lot (of a problem). You will just have to start at the light switch, check power out. And then check each or any junctions (connections) in the circuit. I would trace where the wires go to which light, and push my electrical (live) pointer ( hot wired from battery +)...

    engine remap

    Be very cautious about re mapping engine management systems. Some ECUs MUST be removed from the vehicle before re programming. Is that the case with yours?

    Congratulations to the both of you for acquiring such awesome vehicles. You know what...I am sor'ta getting a notion to own one of those...

    I need to put longer fenders on my M35 cab. Aside from M54/M809, what other 5 tons?

    I can't quite fathom out why you need to extend The mudguards..(fenders) some pictures of what is causing concern, and the required "look"? would be helpful in getting a better idea of what you are trying to achieve.

    LDS cylinder head - resurfacing questions

    Well the only thing you (they) should "measure" (check) is, Are the heads straight and parallel. Viz. Not Warped. If they are ok in this respect, that negates re-surfacing. (if it ain't bust..don't fix it logic).

    Engine Stalled while driving- now it won't start, turns over but no fuel\fire

    Just start with the basic things (like) (1) check the filter, it might well be clogged. Unlikely the heater plugs would go out that quick. (2) could be the heater relay. On reflection, I would go for the filter before I did anything else. (as) It was running ok until it (slowed down?) stopped...
