  1. My goodness army snatch landy.. Ive been in the back of many of them. We had a saying in Iraq, nobody likes a dirty snatch. So keep it clean. Great to see one again. It definitely deserves to live again..

  2. Cant have been stood too long as they drain down the oil pump prime. You either got lucky or you ran it dry for a few minutes until it reprimed itself. You should have taken out the dizzy and drove the oil pump with a drill and adapter for a minute or two after resistance is achieved to get the rockers wet.

  3. Mmmmm, I am currently building up a 5L Rover V8 stroker motor with Ian Richardson Wildcat cylinder heads to go in a TVR, but it would fit in that engine bay very nicely…

  4. Ngl those noccos are shit, better off just getting a 12/24v propulstation, kicks out about 1200 cca. They don't time out so can use it as a alginator if needs be and once the vehicle is running it'll steal some pixies from the causality vehicle and charge itself

  5. That’s quite unusual, as the time that it went to NP Aerospace, Foleshill Rd, I think, in Coventry, they, along with Otokar, Turkey, were in full swing converting, as in completely rebuilding them into SNATCH 2’s, with 300tdi’s, new chassis, the lot. Some V8’s as SNATCH 1.5, where air con was fitted, behind the grilles on the side, behind the seats, were deployed to Iraq, Op Telic. All sandy coloured! That paint was supposed to be able to be pressure washed off.

  6. I drove one of them in Iraq back in 92, 93 but the fitted out comms unit version fucking loved the pile of shit we got hit with a rpg and she saved us , and she was fixed and back in service within days , bone shakers for definite but love them with a passion and they still look as cool as the first day seeing one on base.
