- Sorry for the very long delay in video uploads, I've been incredibly busy with tidying up and preparing to open the museum for the 2024 season.
normally this isn't to bad but luck wasn't on our side.
everything we touched broke!
centurion AVRE now awaits an engine lift!
Chieftain needs its GUE engine lifted to fixed a blocked fuel return line!
To add the icing to the cake we through a track and snapped a gearbox casing in another tank video coming soon!!

We've been so busy over the last couple of weeks, this video is just clips I've taken when we have had chance. Hopefully you find it bearable :) let me know what you think!
Missing the tinkering tuesdays.
It is always good to see what has been happening. Any footage from you is always so interesting to watch. 😃
Glad you enjoy it!
I would be happy to watch a vidio from a camera just looking across the shed at whatever comes into view. This place is amazing. Thankyou for the effort in every respect. cheers from down under.
Brilliant video. I really enjoy your honesty and knowledge
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a really interesting vlog, thank you. It is not always necessary to spend time producing a perfect video, a selection of clips making up a story is good work, and so natural. I hope to get to visit you in a few weeks time.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, drop us a message when you know when and we’ll happily show you around and show what’s currently happening in the workshop :)
Hi, we called around about 4 weeks ago when you were working to get the AVRE to Tankfest, and the young lad showed us round while you were hard at it. Very impressed with all you do there, an excellent visit, thank you.
Great vid! Nice to see all the vehicles out and feck this fecking rain!
summer is on the way! so they tell me!
great to see so many vehicles running, thanks for the upload
Great job, it is called getting your priorities right. Nice to see what ever and when ever you can show us. Thanks chaps.
Great update, don't worry about content you have so much interesting & well maintained material sitting in the workshop. Hope to visit the museum, after hearing your see & sit recommendation, in the summer!
Chieftain reliability. The reason we got so much practice at crawling under the belly to fit the tow chains on the rear hooks for loading using the Antar winches. Singing "Mud, mud, glorious mud" by Flanders and Swann
Like style of showing wharts and all of being custodians of British military history
I drove and worked on Militants in the 70’s at 4 ADTR in Duisburg…..the BAOR.
Great to see you ready for the museum to open. Hoping to come up this summer and visit. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good to see what a "normal" day in the shop is like.... great bunch of mechanical beasts !!
You got that right!
Another great video, many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
A good video like all you vehicles and tanks enjoy all of them 👍👍
A new video from the Norfolk Museum complete with rains and trains and a leaking Chieftain. All is right in the world again. I never really minded when the fuzzy mic crept into view. Better to see it than hear the wind noise without it IMHO. I hope you all had a great opening. It's been weeks from hell here as well, but this puts a smile on my face.
It’s comments like this that makes it all worth while!!
@@tinkeringwithtanks it's the least I can do. I know what a PIA it can be recording and editing. Y'all in are my top 5 heavy vehicle channels (and I'm only subscribed to 6). It is very interesting to see the differences in how various folks work. I much enjoyed when y'all showed up on the FV4005 project! What an opportunity!
Top work as normal. Always great for any update you do.. if only i could help out but work gets in the way
It’s been mental here! Hopefully by mid week I should be back on track. Your pistons are sitting on my bench I plan on getting to them this week with the ones for the rebuild. I’d like to build the engine to a long block in the next couple of weeks :)
Good old chieftains they are perfect and totally fine and reliable
To be fair ours are normally well behaved!
@@tinkeringwithtanks they certianly have a worse reputation than they deserve but its still not the best
Best tank of its era if it broke down in the right place! but jokes aside once you get to the mk11 engines all the teething problems had been ironed mostly out, ours has a mk13a the best mark of the l60. far better than the later mk13a2 engine
that makes things slightly easier when you don't fave fuel problems
I'll never buy a non genuine CAV filter head ever again!! i brought that engine with a broken filter housing and didn't think using a slightly cheaper alternative would cause so much trouble!
new CAV one is already in the post to us!
Thanks!
thanks lads
Cheers :)
Thanks + once you are 200K subscribers and views to match (like Mr Hewes) some problems will go away.
love the sound of a v 10 20 l multibank bla bla bla tank engine ....saving the planet ........weeeeeee diesel PS love the video
😎👍
"is it ever gonna stop raining?" Norfolking way in Norfolk. also it's a chieftain. when AREN'T they broke in some way? mainly engine.
couple of things ... can we see the vid of when a welding spark goes down the inside of your boot and you doing a jig and can i gave the cracked bowl so i can draw it in cad many thanks
Nice looking Saracen. Good luck with the Chieftain and best wishes from a new sub in jolly old Norfolkshire 👍😎Pete 🤓. Are you the museum that's near Long Stratton?🤔
We are indeed. Now open Tuesday to Thursday and Sundays 9 to 5 😉
Wrong Channel!!! seems I'm on the Norfolk Naval Museum
Certainly feels like it! we are going to need a lifeguard for the pond in the yard at this rate!!
Great blog. When is a good time to visit. I live in North Essex so need to plan.
We're open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday 9 till 5 if message us on Facebook and let us know when u are coming and we will personally show you around 😎
Thanks for the reply. I’m friends with David Hardy, whom I’ve helped with his Mk2 Antar restoration, who I believe is a trustee of the NTM. I look forward to a visit most probably on a Wednesday in a few weeks time. Cheers guys.

what is a GU engine?
Generating unit engine (GUE)
Provides the tank with electrical power and hydraulic start :)
350amp alternator the main engine only has 150amp which only produces power over 1000rpm
@@tinkeringwithtanks thank you for your reply, I did not know that, thank you for the information, keep up the good work
