Hi Lads. To be brutally honest i am not clever enough to decypher a MSDS sheet. Shame the manufacturers could not just give their customers this basic information.

SAAB as a Car manufacturer is finished. Went bankrupt years ago. I grew up loving Saabs. Later years were just built on various euro, gm platforms.

I had a Land Rover product with a 'K Series' engine. It ate head gaskets. Major design flaw. Took the Chinese buyers of Rover to fix it. I think Scotty Killmer just did a vid about the Toyota 2.4 and the Gasket issues.

Hi. Did not want to take another post off topic, so i started this one. I read many forum members write things like 'this oil is a group 3' or 'that oil is a group 4'. My question is, how on earth do you know? Nothing is written on the bottle and when i asked one company they just replied...

Hi They captured a lot of kit from Iraqi military so my guess is they will have AAA and shoulder fired missiles. Should not bother an F35 at altitude.

I see the new RN Carrier group has gone into combat against ISIS. It would seem the Russians are keeping a keen interest in the F35. I hope the F35 is living up to expectations. Here's praying everyone stays safe on our side...

Hi Lads. FWIW i try to run Shell V-Power Diesel in my Jeep. Failing that, i use the Millers Diesel Power Ecomax. Engine runs sweet as a nut.

Hi Do they still use the depleted uranium rounds? I know that after gulf war and bosnia, there were many health concerns involving that type of munition.

Hi. Can someone explain how this works please? I can see the value in dissimilar air combat training, but what is to be gained by training against what is essentially a museum piece? Hawker Hunter was a decent aircraft 50 years ago. How is it relevant to training F35 in 2017? Thanks.

Hi. I recommend a series of documentaries called 'War Factories'. Several explain just how the United States Industrial strength was turned over to fighting the War. Another advantage the US had over Axis manufacturing, was it was not having the crap bombed out of it on a regular basis :) ...

Hi. Have the crank bearing issues been sorted on the Gen 3?

Hi Same in UK. Also any Rifle with a scope on it is a 'Sniper Rifle' according to some.

Hi Sparky. Thanks for helping. Yes, it does seem to expand a lot with a temperature. Hence my query as to adding cold fluid when hot is removed.

Hi Hall I honestly do not know what volume the 40mm increase in fluid is. It looks a pretty big sump pan so i guess it could well be a significant amount. Note that i say guess. The answer of course is to temperature check and use a dipstick. However, the thread title Questions about the...

Hi Hall Thanks for helping. I do not understand this. When i look at the fill chart it seems to show quite a difference in the level when the temperature increases. I am obviously misunderstanding something here. The level increases by 40mm from 77f to 167f.

Repairman 54, Lumberg. Thank you for helping. My W5J400 is Jeeps designation for a Diesel powered MB722.6 if that helps. It has a dipstick tube but it is sealed. You can get a dipstick and seals easy enough though. This leaves you needing to know the fluid temp and compare on a chart. A lot...

Apologies if this is a stupid question. Say a car owner changes his ATF. He is using the remove, measure, replace system. His transmission is warm and he removes say 5 litres. He then replaces the 5 litres with new, but cold ATF. Will the expansion of the warm fluid, compared to the cold, play...

Hi Astro. I noticed he served around the same time as you and i did wonder if your paths had crossed. I find him very interesting to listen to. He has a vid where he talks of the time they lost the canopy of the TA-4J. It landed in someones back yard in Virginia Beach. I smiled when i read...

Hi. Just a heads up really. TV in the UK is pretty Garbage. My Wife likes soap operas which i refuse to watch. Hence i like to read and watch interesting stuff on you tube. Came across a guy called Ward Carroll. He has put some really interesting stuff up. He was a RIO in the F-14. I know...

My apologies to the HNMLS Evertsen for not including them in my list.
