Trouble is new vehicles mean a warranty period, so until that expires REME cant put a spanner to them. Good friend of mine left as he found himself sitting around bored still when the LR Wolf first arrived.

Not even allowed to park them on-site now due to security concerns - I don't see it personally!

Be interesting to see what contract is attached with the roll out. I know there's massive issues with a recently in service piece of kit whereby the VMs are very restricted on what they can actually do.

surely you cant be on about the Ajax haha

Actually no. Fortunately I have had absolutely nothing to do with that platform. My comment was directed towards another "new into service" bit of kit

a lot of Chineese electronic items have the potential to listen and send info back, I work on a Mil base and were fitting out a building, nothing was allowed to be used if its origin or manufractured in China, even down to a screw or nail

What about all the other vehicles, and trailers, didn't they need anything doing to them?

 

[T2662075]

Depends on where you are stationed and the hardware there. All I know he said he was bored stiff, no work at all.

Sorry, bad grammar in my post. I don't see MOD going for Chinese replacements personally would be better, knowing what we know about their data gathering

Really they need a pickup/flatbed type platform which can fit a removeable/interchangeable modular rear unit, of which there would be several variants for different functions.

Rather like a Landrover

 

[Klenchblaize]

If only all motors could be simple to fix as they were in Ford Anglia/Cortina/old Landy times . Paying a lot more now for a lot less qualitiy

Yes, but today most young drivers need to Google the location of the bonnet catch so what chance they are up for pulling plugs & points, let alone popping a new head gasket on in under 40-minutes?
