Re: David Beales

Beales only uses this website now https://www.daimlerspares.com/ <-- it ends in .com (the .org site is still in existence but not used) Read also this thread https://forum.dloc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=7724 and note that at the end, the advice given is "Any one having trouble contacting David Beal...

Re: DE27, DH27, and DE36

DE36 (probably bought by George VI in 1949) and used in the Royals tour celebrating the coronation of Elizabeth in June 1953.

Re: Parts/Car required

When I have used the email option, the main issue that I have noticed is that one ought to include one's return email address in the actual email content, as it's not obvious how to make the reply.

Re: Special sports exhaust

These screenshots are from the Consort spare parts catalogue. I would think that, since the Special Sports engine and chassis is the same as the Consort, that's what the Special Sports exhaust system would originally consist of. If there's a Special Sports spare parts catalogue, cross-check in that....

Re: Problems with getting access to this forum

This is an example tracert that shows the way that this forum is accessed. In this example, I was using a mobile phone hotspot, only because the IP addresses are very simple in the route leading up to the final two hosting IP addresses. It's the final two that are always in the route, whatever place...

Re: Problems with getting access to this forum

I think that you've got the proverbial in a twist there John. Your home IP address may have been blocked, but the home IP address may have changed later. The local shop WiFi was/is NOT blocked. The fact that Edge worked at your home IP address was because it was on a MS VPN, thus Edge is getting an ...

Re: Problems with getting access to this forum

From my experience with this fault, having had it on different platforms and widely differing IP addresses (using mobile phone hotspots and worldwide locations on a VPN) it's 100% not related to IP address or platform. I also doubt if it's related to the user. Thus it is most likely a fault with the...

Re: Problems with getting access to this forum

I think I've discovered the cause of the problem -- it depends when and whereabouts on the forum you log in. The settings in my browser are to clear all cookies when I close the browser, which means that I have to log back in if/when I want to post something (I can read posts without logging in). I...

Clearly the Daimler Lanchaster Owners Club's IT support is as traditional as its cars. :lol:
Leather seats and "smooth as flight" but some models lack boot space :lol:
