Good shout. I was thinking it had a hint of Scammell about it, but you are undoubtedly correct.

If that uses a 6cyl turbo diesel then we used to use those engines offshore with a company called PIH. 

Tough as old boots. 

I'll never forget the look on the stupid yank who tried to tell the bridge that there was a " FIRE FIRE FIRE MAN!!!!!" as the spare Deutz kicked into life after there was an ever so slight oil leak into the turbo housing and clouded the thing in smoke. Problem was that the client had INSISTED we have a spare generator for the coil running at all times just incase an issue occurred and we could swap out cables to start straight back up, typical oil company mentality of go go go!!!! Of course this minor oil leak had spent 11hrs idling merrily away dripping oil into the exhaust and causing a very minor puff now and again, but straight up to full rpm meant all that lovely hot oil had to burn off somewhere. 

I still recall telling him to "go fuck himself" after he tried to continously lecture me that the engine was on fire, even made a point of following me into our container to try and continue an argument he'd started with himself, rather than accepting that it was just a slightly leaky turbo seal. 

Shitfucks still didn't sack me, bastards.

Good fucking lord the poor thing will throw part of a tappet into your face at mach 3.

 

Remind me to take an aygo turbo and fit it to the 957cc Valencia engine I have from my mk1 fiesta some time. What a hoot.

Didn't that Dutch company do an actual turbo conversion for these using the 1.3 pushrod? Van akken I think. http://www.kaklub.co.uk/pwpcontrol.php?pwpID=1910

Thanks for sharing this story. And I'm pretty sure these trucks had V8 engines. And a quick google search confirmed this they had the Deutz F8L air cooled V8 diesel engine.
