Although I'm licenced to, I've never driven an automatic transmission in my life; wonder if I could
I have driven Saracens and Saladins though; they use a pre-selector gearbox. It wasn't always reliable though; finding yourself in a false-neutral with an 11 ton vehicle going backwards down a hill was pretty scary!
I'm afraid I know nothing about how multi-fuel engines work, although I'd like to. About the only thing I know is that the Chieftain's multi-fuel L60 engine was so unreliable that questions were asked in parliament about it.
