    Help please misfiring M35 multifuel.

    Hi We have just attended the War and Peace show in the UK. On the way home the truck was badly missing intermittently and lacking power.It also stalled at tickover a few times. It would then surge for a while and then slow down again. The previous owner had problems with the in tank pump but...

    Punctures

    Hi Has anyone any experience of using pre or post puncture repair 'fluid' or repair outfits? Some suggest large holes can be fixed at the roadside to avoid a hazardous wheel change. Also, if the vehicle is only lightly loaded is it OK to take a rear dual off and put on the front to get you home...

    Help with advanced search please

    Hi I seem to be in a catch 22 situation here. I am trying to use the advanced search feature and cannot enter a keyword to look for! That means I can't search for help on how to do it!!!! I looked at an M109A3 yesterday and need to know where I can get decent front rubber boots and wiper...

    I'm back (nearly)

    Hi I have just agreed to buy my old truck back. It's an M35 converted to an M109. Should be delivered in a couple of weeks. The body was placed on the load bed so it's all coming off and will be replaced properly. Not decided on the paint but am thinking three colour. Any suggestions for the...

    Measuring diesel/petrol specific gravity.

    Hi I am, I hope, about to buy another deuce. I have been offered an M109. A while back someone kindly did a graph to show how the gravity of petrol/diesel mix could give the proportion of the two fuels in that mix. Unfortunately, I am having terrible problems buying a hydrometer to cover that...

    Weights

    Hi I am still looking for a suitable Deuce. I am trying to decide between M35 cargo, M109 Shopvan or either a 2.5 ton tractor unit with a S280 type shelter instead of a 5th wheel or taking the bed off a cargo and fitting a shelter. With this in mind please can anyone tell me the weights of the...

    Deuce ages 'again'!

    Hi Sorry to go down this road again but it is important for me. In the UK we have complicated licence/registration procedures. On a normal 'car' licence you can drive any gross weight vehicle provided it was made before 01.01.1960 and it is not used commercially. Thus all deuces we have seem to...
