Never seen one of these before, I had one for an S3 Landrover;

I wonder who would buy one
our resident aficionado perhaps ;D ;D
The Tank Museum apparently sells a selection of these for various vehicles. Never checked out which though.
Damn! thought this was about supply nets in the Roman Empire.
It wouldn't work for an S3 Landrover though, would it...? :P
Cheers,
Rob

I misread it as "Centaur Maintenance".
There are quite a few, including The Millennium Falcon among others. From what I've read the Cent one will induce nightmares. It was/is a superb MBT, but a fitters pain, not designed ergonomically when it came to servicing.

I think they shared some parts. The M.O.D. being as it is.
Got it for my birthday in July :D
It's very interesting, being both a history of the fine vehicle with some practical guide to actually maintaining one.
The next logical step is to go out and buy one of the things. I await pictures.
If Nobby ever wins the lottery, I'm sure he'll treat himself.
How much do folk ask for them ?

Prices seem a bit hard to come by, but from what I have seen, not stupid money, 10s of thousands, so around the price of a high end saloon car, not a sports car.

This one was sold for $66.700,- three years ago.
I think one of these would run to more than a few 10s of thousands ... manual is only £15.99 though!

very interesting read :)
I just remembered, a friend of mine has a T-shirt with the cover of the Haynes manual for an AT-AT on it. Must ask if he has the manual or just the T-shirt...
Do they have one for wives.....

Probably; but it has the size of a 24 volume encyclopaedia! ;)

Said he typing, while making sure that no-one was looking over his shoulder.

Owners workshop manuals they never wrote for some unknown reason :) and the possible reason
The Wife - impossible to get right at any time as the correct maintenance will be wrong at that particular moment in time.
The Husband - No maintenance needed as he already believes he is correctly maintained, and no book is going to tell him otherwise
The Teenage boy - No researcher could stand being in their room for long enough to research them even with a gas mask.
The Teenage Girl - Researchers notes so covered with Make up, lipstick and tears it was impossible to read
The Mistress - If you have one of these you should already know what to do. If not you are in for so much Sh*t no book will help
I always thought there was just one simple little button that kept wives happy ... including other peoples :o
OK, ok, ok ... I'll get my coat
mutter mutter mutter loweringthetoneoftheforum again mutter :'(
Its the button that says "confirm payment"

So standard British tank design perhaps?
