@Chrislb.
Fog lamp - towbar, no problem, I have no intention in fitting a towbar!
That one was easy!
yes, they are called "reversing lights" in English, great thing about the fog lamp, I can use that to reverse, it's really bright!
@snoop.
Yeah, I know what Feldjaeger is, what do you think the first thing I googled when I saw it listed on e-bay?
yes, it's a '81, left factory as a standard 183 311 nothing special.
I spoke with Uwe, he says it's early history is unknown but it turns up in the 90's in the Feldjaegerbatallion.
At some point it has come to the UK to the castle martin tank training range where the Germans were stationed, when they left in 1996 it was left behind.
Story goes that there were 12 left here, 10 good ones and 2 scrap. One man bought them all and sold them on, 2 were used for parts for the others.
That is what the "CM" means after the tactical marking, CM = Castle martin.
The bonnet has a big red cross under the paint, and the rear panel, and rear 1/4 panels also have red crosses painted over.
there is a sticker (decorfolien?) on the dash board that makes referance to a medic vehicle.
I cannot see an body modifications for carrying a stretcher though?
Tell me, how can you tell it was a medic vehicle from the roll over bar? I presume the Iltis had a rotating light fitted as it has 2 holes in the lower left hand wheel arch and a hole in the wiring grommet where the wiring must have travelled.
I also had a extra hole near the light switch, and I had a loose wire dangling under the dashboard that went to the horn relay, I presume it was wired to a switch? unsure, the wire was white with green trace.
Second gear crunches a little
I have already put fresh oil in the gearbox
I also need to identify the prop shaft joints and boots as there is lots of noise from the rear one, or I may just send it to my new best friends at GKN as they can't seem to do enough for me at the moment!
