Hi Polverone, Yes, that is a very fine truck. Volvo are a very good truck. We have some Volvo tractors at work, FM400 with the Volvo I-Shift auto tranny, they are a superb tractor unit. These trucks were supplied to the Royal Engineers. When I was in the Army they started coming into service...

Hello mate, All the US M35's in the UK are from Holland and Germany. They were coming over here until the late 90's then they stopped. That's why all the M35's here are junk and WELL over priced. I had a chat with the guy who owns Marltrax once. This guy was the main importer and he told me he...

Thanks to all you guys that have replied. It really seems a shame that they classify cargo trucks like they do. It's not like I'm some Taliban suicide deuce driver or something!!! I bet lots of equipment just gets scrapped as no one buys half of it, such a waste. I suppose that's one good thing...

It is so different in the States, hey? In a British Army auction you just bid for the item, pay your money, get your paperwork then register it yourself with the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency. If it needs a safety test then get it tested, pay the road tax and off you go. Here is an...

Right OK. What year did this EUC come into force? I take it I can get a truck that was sold before this came into effect? Thanks.

The thing is, I am going to be emigrating to Alberta later on this year and I will be looking for an M35A2 to buy. They are about $12,000 in the UK to buy and there is a VERY limited supply of trucks here and most have been trashed. The trucks here are on their last legs and most have been run...

I have been looking at the government auction and there are a lot of desert sand M35A2C's for sale that are condition HX. But looking at the trucks they seem to have been refurbished with what looks like recon engines etc. Can anyone explain why this is? It states that they start and run, so...

This is a link to a UK based Russian Vehicle Dealer. He ships worldwide, so if you want something unusual then get in touch with him. Check out the videos he has on the site. Some great sounding V8 power!!! http://www.russiantruck.co.uk/

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will let him know what to check. Cheers Andy

Thanks for all the replies guys, keep them coming. I thought that it hydrolocked myself, but when he told me the engine ran for about 20-30 secs before shutting down, I thought that this can't be the problem as any water that was in the cylinders would have been burnt off by then. As I...

Hi all. A friend of mine has an M109A3 and needs some help. He thinks his engine has seized and I need some ideas. He said the truck ran fine. He then parked it up for two weeks. When he went to use it he said he started the engine and within 20 seconds the engine shut down. When he went to...

Re: RE: Re: Need your VIN number Can any of you guys supply some information please. That's what my mates truck is registered as. What make would it actually be then? Andy

Hi Kenny, My mate has a M109A3 and was wondering if you can supply any information for his truck? His truck is an M109A3 - Kaiser Jeep - VIN No - 0532-10030 Any information on this truck like year manufactured, contract no greatly appreciated. By the way, he seems to think it's a mid 1980's...

A few guys I know that own deuces have run them on contam. Thats the fuel at the petrol station that people have put the wrong fuel in, either petrol into a diesel or diesel into a petrol engine. Some fuel depots store this fuel as the petrol station has to pay to get rid of it. These two guys...

Considering my Land Rover Defenders 2.5 NA Diesel has 160,000 miles on it and she still runs very well with not much smoke when warm, I reckon those big engines should last for years. We have some old trucks at work (DAF with Daf engine and ERF with Cummins engine) that have done about a...

Great looking truck. Looks in good nick. Is she a whistler?

I served 8 years in the British Army, three with the Royal Green Jackets and five with the Royal Corps of Transport (now Royal logistics Corps). My Uncle served 5 years in the Grenadier Guards and my Grandad served 8 years with the Grenadier Guards, 5 of those in the second world war fighting in...

I'm not sure. But I am 95% positive that it's NATO Green and Black. My Defender has the same colour green. It's a nice truck. It's fitted with a Cummins too. But £10,000??????????????

To say I'm gutted is an understatement. The truck I put a deposit down on has fell through. I have found out from another deuce driver that the truck I was going to buy un-registered would cause me a lot of problems to get registered because of the age of the truck. When I asked the guy who...

This guy wants £10,000 ($18,622) for this 5 ton Cargo........... Too much I think!!!!!!! The reg plate shows it to be a Belgium registered truck...
