The Power steering? Funny thing with the MJ I remember being jealous of a different unit when they got them before us. In my mind they are almost new.

SLR's ..... GPMG's ..... Bedford Tk's ..... blah-blah-blah !!!:eek:

Used em all during training ( early 80's ) but was lucky enough .... well maybe not as it's rubbish,....... moved over to the SA80! Now there is a weapon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

As for SureTerm ..... Currently just swapped over half way through my year with them due to a new Motorhome, wanted £72, £35 was admin charge! After reading this thread, when renewal comes up June 18th ...... I may well be off-ski as well ............:confused:

lol sa 80 was just being tried out when i left, two many bits and plasticky for me!!!!
 
I used to machine parts for the SA-80 when I worked at Royal Ordnance. The trouble with it is that it's too complicated for it's own good. It's fine when it works but get a bit of sand or dirt in it and you might as well throw it away and start chucking rocks at the enemy. :rolleyes:

The funniest story I ever heard with it was when the cheek pads were reacting with the squaddies camoflage paint and sticking the guns to their cheeks!!!! :eek: :D

What about the longbow then??? According to the telly, a good longbow will send a shaft almost a mile and it will go straight through a suit of armour too!!

Had to google that one Norris a miles a long way:rolleyes:
The range of the medieval weapon is unknown, with estimates from 165 to 228 m (180 to 249 yds). Modern longbows have a useful range up to 180 m (200 yd). A 667N(150 lbf) Mary Rose replica longbow was able to shoot a 53.6 g (1.9 oz) arrow 328 m (360 yd) and a 95.9 g (3.3 oz) a distance of 249.9 m (272 yd).[12] A flight arrow of a professional archer of Edward III's time would reach 400yds. It is also well known that no practice range was allowed to be less than 220yds by order of Henry VIII.[13]

The longbow had a long range and high accuracy, but not both at the same time. Most of the longer range shooting mentioned in stories was not marksmanship, but rather thousands of archers launching volleys of arrows at an entire army. Longbowmen armies would aim at an area and shoot a rain of arrows hitting indiscriminately at anyone in the area, a decidedly un-chivalrous but highly effective means of combat. An archer could hit a person at 165 m (180 yards) "part of the time" and could always hit an army.[citation needed]

At the siege of Abergavenny in 1182 the Welsh arrows penetrated an oak door four inches thick. They were allowed to remain there as a curiosity, and Gerald (Giraldus Cambrensis) himself saw them six years later in 1188 when he passed the castle, with the iron points just showing on the inner side of the door. A knight of William de Braose was hit by one which went through the skirt of his hauberk, his mail hose, his thigh, and then through the leather and wood of his saddle into his horse; when he swerved round, another arrow pinned him the same way by the other leg
 
I got my money back!

My message 1-05-10
I arranged cover through CC, cheaper than Sureterm's quote, (BTW I was told they have stopped using Red Star now, so I assume they have fallen out with them too). I am still waiting for my money back.

Glad to report for the sake of truthfulness Sureterm credited my account with the returned premium (although they took a "handling fee")
 
I've just taken out SureTerm Direct arranged Enterprise Insurance Fully Comprehensive cover on on a '98 Mazda Bongo (Imperial Conversions Moonfleet ) as follows:

- 7,500 miles a year in Western Europe, no maxim period away and £100 excess
- breakdown cover from home to as far afield as Turkey - maybe beyond!
- three named drivers
- windscreen with £60 excess
- various other bits and pieces including personal injury, loss of valuables to £5,000
- legal cost cover

All this for the princely sum of ~£330; phone service was spot on and all the documents arrived the very next day

Not that good you might think based on some of the figures I've heard quoted by others here but Lifesure quoted me £1,360 simply because I hadn't got any No Claims bonus - something which you just don't seem to get when driving (minor) classics as I have done for more than 10-12 years (the last two, of couse, being insured with Sureterm).

Can't be sure(!) how good the cover might turn out to be, of course, but, with everything crossed, I'm hoping that I'll won't have to ask the question!

Pete

PS: I will, of course, enquire retrospectively about the £20 offer but I wouldn't hold ya breath for a positive outcome after the deal's been done!

Insurance scam

Hi all,

Just bought our 1st camper, Elddis Autoquest 140
What a do with the insurance.
Being very conversant with 'the net' I tried a few sites for cover, also tried putting in different details to work out why some wanted around £1,000
Would you believe that clicking the ' thatcham alarm fitted ' box kept the premium exactly the same as clicking the factory fitted Peugot alarm option !
How many will have shelled out for a top class alarm to save on insurance as well as peace of mind.
Wonder if anyone knows why this is so ?

CC 'TheClub' wanted £964 from me
Actually got cover at a company called Comfort insurance for £279 fully comp.
Happy camper now !
Sorry my first post is a rant but it appears to be a minefield, and how many of these 20 quid donation to the forum companies charge the most - all of em ?
Drive on ----

Then got onto recommended insurance companies like CIS and Arian Flux £435 - £512

Then i called this one £217.54

Thanks guys. you just saved me just over £200
 
sureterm hidden extras

They charged me £30 to swop my details when put a personel reg on my van and also had a 4 x 4 insured with them £284 for the year i sold it after 6 months and asked for the balance back and was told they keep 75% of the money thats left, ended up getting£22 back, avoid them would be my advise!!!
 
I just bought Transit panel van to convert and these were the only ones interested in quoting me with a sensible figure.

I was told I can't use it for commuting but if you drive to work in it and go on holiday for the night you're covered.

It does say in the docs that they don't give refunds so once you've paid for the year that's it.

They were very good on the phone and docs came through next day.
 
Got a phone call today from Sureterm, the wife had won a years free insurance :D:D. We entered loads of competitions when we went to the NEC last week. Came just at the right time as my insurance is due on the 1st November, included full unlimited EU cover but had to pay 41 quid to get EU breakdown cover so not bad.
