Perhaps there's a serial number stamped on it somewhere, otherwise you may have to just take a chance at the risk of a minor brake imbalance.

You LUCKY-LUCKY people.[^][8D]
I have alway's had a thing about the TS3 engine [^]What a lovely sound they make, especially at full chatUsed to hear the commer brick lorries coming up the road from a good 1/2 mile away when i was a kid staying at my aunts near Bletchley. The sound still makes the hairs on me neck stand on end

I was only talking to one my customers about TS3's the other day. He was telling me that he worked on them a lot when he was a young diesel fitter years ago and recons they are a terrific engine, the only problem was the noise. Apparently they have very high noise levels inside the cab which a lot of drivers found unexceptable.
I doubt they had much sound deadening in those cabs back in the day though and with modern materials should be a lot better.

The TS3-engines have soundtrack to die for, no doubt about that at all !
Although, I have heard that they often gave up the ghost after relatively short mileages. Not NSU RO80 milages, mind, but still relatively short. But the rumours needn't be true, of course
Congratulations on your purchase, Tim. You're brave man !

I found this. My Dad used to drive for T&L and the Commer tankers when they were around before moving onto the Seddon Akkies. This brings back so many memories, I can just remember going to one of the Driver of the Year competitions.
There's an even nicer pic of a TS3 a couple of slides further on, keep going and there are a couple of background shots of PA/PB's and loads of fantastic trucks
