Many articles cover the Wolf as it was introduced to the forces in all its guises. Included in the list are WMIK equipped Wolves on duty in Sierra Leone, SOVs serving with the US Rangers, Desert Patrol Vehicles in Kenya, CAVs at work in Bosnia & Kosovo.

Land Rover Series II,IIA and III Restoration Manual

ISBN: 0719841860
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 1163

Book Description
A Series Land Rover has to be the ultimate life-sized automotive jigsaw puzzle. Simple to repair, with a good supply of new and used parts, a restoration is well within the capabilities of an amateur mechanic. While the official Parts and Workshop Manuals can be considered essential reading they were written for professional mechanics working on reasonably new, unmodified vehicles – not a 60 year old model assembled with parts from different eras. They will tell you very little about parts compatibility over the generations, how to repair a bulkhead or front panel or the best techniques to assemble your vehicle onto a new chassis. This manual seeks to answer many of the commonly asked questions and offers practical solutions, tips and techniques for the common problems encountered when restoring and maintaining a Series Land Rover. It covers: •history, vehicle development and compatibility of parts •the overhaul of the major mechanical components including engine, gearbox and axles •practical techniques for body repairs, fitment and alignment •in-depth chassis and bulkhead repairs •how to decide between saving or replacing a major component •the current availability of components •major current restoration trends: functional rebuild, resto-mod build, patina recommission or concours restoration

BMW E30 - 3 Series Restoration Bible

ISBN: 1914988876

Languages : en
Pages : 310

Book Description
It is amazing to think that time has passed by and that the second BMW "3 Series" has achieved such status that it warrants this special book on its 21st anniversary. Maybe it is due to the sheer longevity of its design, its ability to satisfy the keen driver or its iconic status - but, whatever it is, there is no doubt that the E30 is one car from the past that will stay with us into the future. It is a pending classic and prices for well kept models have started to escalate; furthermore, there is a core of well cared for cars out there requiring basic attention by their dedicated owners. As a result, there has never been a better time for a book of this sort. By focusing on the common faults which crop up repeatedly and by giving detailed, simple instructions regarding repairs, this book will be uniquely invaluable for owners who wish to try their hand at their own maintenance, especially those who may previously have been prevented from doing so by a lack of technical know-how or specific knowledge.
