The GAZ ZMZ V8 assembled with the transmission, clutch, compressor and power steering pump weighs 333kg.

Chuck all that lot on the scales and see what you get, and then chuck all the same GM stuff on the scales..........and see what you get!

Well that was easy! Thanks.

I've got the old type.

Super, I shall have a look at the weekend and see which type I have. You funny sod, the engine and box ain't Russian are they!! ;) :)) Obviously I know this. But you can't see those bits! If there were a pair of grab handles for the cab, a set of wing mirrors and brackets and the cab spot light and ...

I would like Russian if I can get it but I shall check them out as well. Thanks.

Ok, so my right rear indicator does not work. I have now managed to snap one of the terminals off the indicator switch, and while it is probably repairable it looks like a faff!!!

Anyone know where I can buy a new switch? Is it the sort of thing that Trapper ind could supply?

It's extremely annoying how well the ZMZ V8 fits the GAZ truck. Everything is perfectly shaped so it fits with all the right clearances. As soon as you start messing around it all gets complicated. I have a similar sump issue with the 300TDI. I haven't looked into it much yet. I can fit some taller ...

Yes it will either be an HP22 or a HP24. You can see from the pictures I have had to mount a bearing on the back of the gear box to support the output shaft as this is normally supported by the LR transfer box. The Jaguar version of the box has an output flange and its own support bearing so you don...

Well, I do know that if you gently rest the front bumper on the wall of the unit and then blip the throttle, it instantly locks the rear diff and spins the wheels.

If that helps?

Ha Ha!!! I don't mind mate. I have an old Series 3 with a turbo charged 2.25 diesel in it. I absolutely love it, but it's rubbish as well. Electrical faults are the biggest bug bear. Then there's all the bits that fall off when you drive it. The water that comes in when it rains. The brakes, god the...

but as for oil and checking....haha...there's always more oil on/outside the engine than in it.... That's how you know it needs a service. When the oil stops leaking out......its empty and needs a service. Really don't understand why this is an issue. I mean, if all engine manufacturers made their ...

Popped up the unit last night to check out some bits on the GAZ and HORROR!!! A large patch of (clean) oil under the front of the truck. :(( A poke around with a torch revealed........a loose bloody jubilee clip on the power steering pump!!! B-) Might try and get the brakes sorted this weekend, I ca...

Yes similar sort of idea. Its not going to be fully demountable as the legs would need to be either very wide or extendable to clear the chassis and I really want a lightweight flatbed when its not in camper mode. This should make the vehicle more flexible as I'm trying to make the vehicle more mult...

Hi Abrs yes back again!!! I'm afraid the pinks not staying!!! Hi Colin, sorry I don't do the photobucket thing. I'm happy to email you the full size pics if you want to post them up but to be honest these are just preliminary pics to get an idea of how it might work out so there will be more to foll...

That's all I've got........boring and tedious.......adding pics I mean!!! The trucks great!!!

C'mon someone should have it by now?

any guess yet?

and more.......

Still more.

More.

Another.
