In defence of VMs, the guys I had were superb craftsmen and once upon a time they were given the time to do a good and thorough job. I admit they were more specialised than a civvy mechanic but certainly more skilful

Back in the day when they had big hammers AND small hammers.

I must admit I loved my lightweights or air-portables but only ever "Owned" LWBs in those days when they were still called Land Rovers and not Defenders.
I never had a diesel lightweight tho.
I reckon exMOD stuff is very well looked after and robust as they were soldier proof. Best to get an FFR.

I agree that the VMs are skilled guys, although still have to say they can be cantankerous.Which is nothing that being polite, together with a yellow handbag or it's equivalent, has ever failed to solve.

Yeah, if you're looking for sympathy it is in the dictionary, right between sex and syphilis.

I was always taught that was "sorry"....for 'taught' read 'shouted at'....

Shouted at sounds a breeze, we had a nutter (Miss) who flung chairs at us.
They mostly hit the innocents with poor reactions, which was funny, at the time, even more funny now I recall it
