Lo of old [ __ ] me W suit you too rough would know today me and Mr best go down to help a friend of mine with a Chie tank won’t start Le you can’t run away me I reckon sh do you can’t steer it you can’t start it can’t
Do yeah so we’ll start by bleeding the steering caliper yep pump up hold It release pump it up a load of times pump it yeah Che main engine off plenty of oil plenty of oil the colant I should try and check the colant stup guys Perfect Right green an freeze this is the main one you need to be worried about this is your uh do
Bit off for a Day Too see if without this it’ll uh run away or red flat out should we say it’s got plenty in it that’s all right then really you want to check all of that before your first started ever in the gear box
Do you think we ought to put some oil in the filter no connected up the power that sounded helpful oh Is that running Right well we were just about to drive it out but it’s just packed up recking the fuel filters are block Adam’s well pleased about that cuz it was so easy to start last time we’re better see if we got any filters you’re enjoying that making that look easy oh my
God so we thought we had got block filters but no they’re actually just absolutely full of water which ain’t the greatest something terrible is happening Adam’s trying battling to keep it outside the environment oh dear give it the old crank oh no great cars and a great deal
More great cars and a great deal more l l Call so we’ve got two engines neither of which start [Laughter] Not spinning still not Spinning ad it’s spinning he spinning it got no hydraulic oil in it if you do a hydraulic start it needs hydraulic oil good old Max check nothing we’re going to go for take two hydraulic Start you should be able to hydraulic start them from inside but of course that system also needs bleeding so Adam’s now going to do it with a spanner on top of the pump that’s now cranking the main engine over Hydraulically and obviously all that water in the injection pump hasn’t done any favor he not really liked it hopefully we can burn that out and she’ll get over it in a minute and go she didn’t you can crank for as long as you like on a hydraulic starter but on
Electric starter it soon burns the brushes out on the motor Still don’t want to play ball so I don’t going to try and slacking an injector bike on the main injection Pump [Laughter] Really oh hell [ __ ] up [Applause] Oh [Applause] oh okay I’ll okay go right well we got it going Adam was just starting to lose his compassion slightly also dropped the 19 mil spanner under Bo engin so we going to got another 19 mil spanner which is his favorite snpp on one just to T up the last two injection
Partes on the engine that was a real pain to believe very Good Is it charging Yeah probably just leave it uncharged it don’t charge I’ll take over no you just hold it there it’s actually running quite nice hardly any smoke not smoking new yeah but it is running on T Water and Air can have all the money in the world but you can’t have clean
Diesel I was about to smash everything you wer very happy were you is it going to stay running I think it will I think it will I think she’ll be some now not the switches if you’re not the switches you don’t start we’re going home we’ve done what we said we’re going
To do which was uh fix the steering how was the steering not a bit of smoke poor old Chie don’t put water in your fueld tank that’s the moral of the story On a scale of 1 to 11 how flat are the battery still uh 10.9 10.9 what Volts black that didn’t take much child at all I think you want some new back to risk you reckon just a bit recking it once just leaving and never looking at ever Again another great success sh day in parad [ __ ] that is is that also just say all know I now a website that wasn’t made by me cuz I’m not clever enough and there will be some bits and pieces and tank related parts that you can buy and put in your house
And garden and some swag as well that you can wear cheers

That looked so much fun. Definitely character building – well done to Mr. Best for not going postal.
As mentioned below – you guys really should have way, way more subscribers. One of the best channels on YT. You're all legends, especially Ted.
I shall buy a Foden t-shirt and bemuse my friends.

Bro has 3 cheiftans
Wasn't this chieftain at the yorkshire wartime experience a while ago
Well I worked for BMC = Austin = rover = mg = Riley = wolseley = and owned a mini cooper = mg 1300 = maxi = princess And they were blooming good cars hardly had any recalls like most makes now. Your typical of why Austin rover finished = always running your own country s stuff down You should be ashamed of your selves =. My next door neighbor has an Audi he just spent 5 grand getting it put right = my mates got a merc = auto gearbox went = 4 grand that was = range rovers now owned by TATA are nothing but junk now a endless money pit = so what about the invention of the mini then and hydrogen gas suspension = triumph stag = e type jag = MGB MGC MGmidget were these all rubbish = talk sense you berks and stand up for British engineering
Oh and the German TIGER tank was a piece of junk to ask any old German soldier it leaked fuel everywhere = what a load or rot you talk
I know its army reg number apart from the sp number
water at the bottom of the fuelcontainer due to condensation?
Is that a Noble M600?!
Everything the British make is junk.
Is this engine turbocharged?
😂
Dam
This tank looks in good shape and sounded awesome. Whats the price on a beast like this? I couldn't imagine the cost to fill her up for a Sunday drive.
A Chieftain only stops leaking when it's empty 🙂
Poor maintenance and service routines, these guys know nothing!
magnet on a stick
These guys really know their stuff. Love these videos.
Beautiful tank. A surplus store in bakersfield had a Chieftain for sale a few years ago…
Wonder if I can convince the wife I need one of these
seriously, invest in a set of crows foot sockets rather than mangling everything with a plumbers adjustable wrench
When the head of armed forces was asked if this not so Great Britain was prepared if called to go to war and his reply was a resounding YES! Are we supposed to believe this absolute clown? He expects us to but here’s proof that all the billions squandered from our oil and corruption as well as the wasted billions on HST and other stupidity or just corruption because many of these basterds were waist deep in Russian money for decades now our young men and women are expected to go into battle with garbage to match Putin’s garbage and we see what Ukraine is doing to that pile of scrap which is all that’s left of it on the battlefield this country is run by corrupted idiots
