Olive Green Defender could be Army? Maybe bomb disposal? Sounds like the BMW was a traffic unit doing what they should (i.e. direct traffic) to get the following convoy through red lights

Re: one for the 406 derv owners

Dervs are funny with dump valves. I believe that there is a specific one you need but generally it's not worth bothering with
