  2. Re the powerpack; the MOD always intended that MBT80 had a 1500 bhp version of the cv12. it was derated because the Treasury demanded a longer service life for the packs in order to save money. It's my understanding that one option for the LEP programme is to give the cv12 a common rail injection system which will boost output to over 1500 hp. For me the biggest weakness is the transmission not the engine. C2 has six forward gears, the lowest being a crawler gear. This is because the C2 shares it's transmission with the CRAARV, which needs an ultra low first gear for pulling power rather than acceleration. C1 had four forward gears and better "take off" than c2 because of this. The six speed box seems to have trouble generating enough torque at low revs which hinders acceleration. Two solutions; increase the torque /improve the final drives so the power comes in with less delay, or fit a new transmission.

  11. Another thing WBAC don't tell you is that to get the full amount offered for your trade in, you have to wait five full days. If you want the cash on the spot, they charge you £50 quid for the privilege.............................

  12. History lesson needed here High Peak. Before and during the second World war, Czech engineering was very highly regarded. When the country was subsumed by the USSR, standards fell and QC naturally followed. Nothing to do with Skoda products just being "CRAP" until the Soviets set them free.
