never got round to fixing the engine unfortunately - too many other projects kept getting in the way. The body work has held up well (but needs a good dose of T-cut). It was sat for quite a while with the engine cowling raised - and a neighbours cat came up through the engine bay and moved in...

Hi old chums, long time no see. Just to let you know, The Dog is about to get a new owner after 7 years being sat in my Garden doing nothing. I will try and get the new owner to join the group - be gentle with her!

yep, just got an email back it 1275 +vat+60 quid delivery. They look a lot different from what i have fitted - but i suppose once you strip it back to the block and head it should be similar. I dont think the price is too outrageous bearing in mind the challenger tank only used the perkins as a...

Hi All, Its been a while but I am still alive. No change with the Dog im afraid, has been sat languishing in the garden since the fateful drive up to Lincolnshire in July 2013 I have been so busy with work and doing up the house that any commer fettling has fallen to the wayside. just as a...

Ladies and gents, The sad day :( has finally arrived. THE DOG IS FOR SALE" You have all seen my long running thread "theres life in the old dog yet" - you have seen the ups & the downs, the twists and turns. As you may or may not know, I have now moved to lincolnshire, started a new job and...

Just to add, trying to work out the mode of ignition, the fire seems to coincide with the kenlowe fan cutting in for the first time. I think the pinhole caused an oil vapour cloud to build up, as soon as the fan cut in it blew this concentrated mist onto the exhaust manifold. I can see charring...

I drove the Dog from berden to Gedney this morning. Left at 03:30 to dodge the traffic. 8 miles in and the headlights went dim, the cab filled with smoke - looking at the engine cowling I could see a bright orange Glow THE DOG WAS ON FIRE. Now I know why we carry fire extinguishers! I lifted the...
