frats,
Rosco

bon ami was what i was told to use back then blacky ,,, but only had ajax its a brand thing but your right with the cummins bit ,,, i did it to a formula 290 cummins,,

hey tim i dont know why i remember this but the bath on my leyland [ which lives on our farm near canberra and i havent driven for a fare few years], had exactly that an ac brand bath oil air fillter made in england,,probably cause when i realised after pulling it apart how it worked ,, i had trouble believing it could work to start with,,that i remember looking at it for a while tring to fathom it, and thats what it is ac,,,,,,,,,was my first tandem drive tipper 125 hp natural six 401 leyland with a 610 10 speed road ranger , which i put in after the leyland box fell to bits,, taught me alot of how to be a self taught mechanic,,,,dam leylands,, i kept it all these years cause no one would buy it albion riever,,,with the l.a.d cab,,,l.a.d means leyland and dodge,,, they shared
bought it for 5 k when i was 17 worked it till i was 18 and went and got my licence and gave up on it around 20 and a half for my first plastic cab atkinson,, and 350 hp ,,, finally no more going in to first gear when i saw i hill in the distance

ohh year while im confessing to my imbarising wheels of the past i did have another leyland truck in 99 for six months it was a lovely truck just couldnt get parts for it,so i sold it to a bloke who had one also was only 25 imported of that model,,

and worse still i swaped my tidy vr the other day for a xj6 jag 1980 series 3,, so once again ive be sucked into a dam leyland but it is a sweet ride and the boot has enough room for all the spanners i will need for road side breakdowns

sorry rosco you said keep going

dont worry the ek is still in the shed mate need a carport for the jag now to many toys

yeah i had a vauxhaul tim it was a 1937 j14,, was much like a grey moter and 3 speed crash box with a 30s shell,, wish id kept it still 300 to buy 600 to sell was easy money dam im an idiot

You seen to have left out alot of typing Rosco

I thought something was wrong with my computer.

cheers Rob

Hi Rob - how's the cooling system issue - we've lost the original concept of this thread........ but the author hasn't responded.......

Karsten, Jag - I was warned many, man y years back - yes, lovely ride....... save your coupons for parts...... bloke with a V12 spent over a thousand on a rotor button and distributor cap ...... not for me.......
Then found out he could bring both in from the states for around three fifty.

Rob, typing - it's still in this box...... just waiting for me to press the right buttons in sequence......

Tim, my father swore by Vanguards - then bought a '59 Merc - Karsten - the front stub axle sheared (with caravan on back) and he only thought he had a puncture - sister made the remark (there's a wheel running into the bush over there) two weeks in Merimbula in 1964 waiting for parts from Sydney - I caught some great Flathead at aged 9.........

Then he bought the FB wagon - kept that until after repairing it (tree stepped out in front of him) and from there - the long line of Toyotas ....... think he always wanted to get back into Vanguards - he loved them.......

My Standard "8" was from the same builder - great little car - and had an unusual way of holding the valves down in their covers - larger off-centre hole then across to the smaller centre one......very clever...

There you go Rob, there's some typing to tide you over for a short while......

Bex, did you get the gist of an oil bath filter?
