@roscoe erf it's a good engine, just happens not to be the 'right' engine, about 20hp down on original spec, but by the looks of the smoke when I blip the throttle it's had 'le spanner magique' on the pump.
Tinwork is good and I'd rather dig into mechanical stuff than start plating a knackered Q cab.

This is a bit extra than standard.
I'm told it needs a clutch, so if I'm splitting it anyway.......why not look around?

No smoke, no poke as they say.

That isn't smokey, it clears when you take your foot off the warp pedal!Would a 40 series engine fit straight in?

That, and the fact that Del Boy had been round the village with some knock-off fleece jackets, and there were half a dozen villagers wearing the same coat on Boxing Day
