Hi all, any recommendations for a modern engine oil for my 1952 OLB. I've been using Castrol 20w/50. (not quite military but same engine) I'm in New Zealand. Thanks.

Progress has been made on the RL.It has been recertified,new COF (certificate of fitness),registered for the road and RUC (road user charges) for 1000 K's.Had to spend a small fortune on the brakes,all cylinders overhalled with stainless sleaves,new shoes on the front and air servo recon.I repaired 3 small areas of rust in the cab and that was pretty much it.Rego cheaper as it's a classic vehicle (over 40 yrs old).So now I look forward to driving legally on the road, although it won't be a daily event due to the seriously thirsty nature of the beast! Regards Garry.

Hi,can you please advise year of manufacture for RLC331919,cheers,Garry.

This is the best I can do for a pic at the moment and yes these are certainly not fuel efficient.Garry.

Yes,this truck was a trademe purchase.Had it for a couple of months now.I plan to recomply and COF it before christmas as the rego has lasped.Not a lot to do so should be fairly straightforward.The truck was shed stored for at least the last 8 yrs.Cheers,Garry.

My name is Garry O'Connor, and I am from Christchurch New Zealand. I have recently purchased an RL Bedford ex New Zealand Army until 1984. A very original example with 44000 miles on the clock. Will try and get a picture up. Also own a 1951 OLB which is probably not appropriate for this website, but there we are. Have read a few posts, and found them very interesting. Will look forward to reading more.
