Thanks for the suggestions. I removed 5 screws +speedometer screw and the body comes down and away from the chassis. However one part of the pipework is stuck to the body.I haven't cut this because there is now enough room to get the blanking plate out and an 8 pin direct decoder in. Can't be doing ...

So I decided to remove the body to check the size of the 8 pin decoder I could fit. On the exploded diagram 5 body fixing screws are shown. Removed all of these. The front of the chassis will now pull down and away from the body but sticks at the rear half, under the cab. I have not resorted to brut...

The Expo site does not allow you to put a bottle in your cart giving a general script error.
The Ebay site is pricey at £12.00 when it formerly retailed at about £7/£8.

I have been resurrecting one of these with a green body.
Unfortunately one of the moulded horns at one cab end has been broken off.
Does anybody know if suitable diesel horns are availble as replacements plastic/castings.
TIA

Chriscav there is a lot of experience to tap into on this group. However to get specific answers listing the models and makes should get you fuller answers rather than general ones.
