M100 6.3 engine, quite nippy. The suspension wasn't too bad, just a bit of pipework and new bellows at the rear needed thankfully. Main damage was to electrics and anything plastic or rubber. Off the road at the moment, but we had a few happy years together

Sorry, forgot to reply. Thanks for the thoughts. From what I could make out when I got it running, a nut on the injection pump was not done up fully and it sent a fine jet of fuel onto the rh cam cover which then dripped down onto the exhaust manifold and the fire spread from there. |
