Tarland Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Can anyone point me in the direction of any reliable sources of Rolls Royce C6 Diesel engine parts? C6 engines were produced in the Shrewsbury plant which was taken over by Perkins in the mid/late 1980's. Having had a good search online I have also seen mention made of Caterpillar on another forum.

john1950 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) You have to hunt to find R.R. C range engine parts. They were used by the Mod, and in ships. trucks, generators, compressors, water pumps, earthmoving equipment, cranes Locomotives etc. Edited August 28, 2018 by john1950 addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarland Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sounds like a business opportunity if they were used that widely!!! Tried the Perkins aftermaket parts distributors but they don't seem to cover the C series engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) This is a 1050s and 60s engine range. Old shed syndrome for spares , I saw an advert for some new engines for sale on Milweb a few years ago but have not been able to find the advert again. A lot of the electrics were Simms or CAV, later Butec possibly. There were two versions, a light weight non ferrous construction and the ferrous normal version. Morphed into the SF65 range. Which was supperceded by the Eagle range of engines. Edited August 28, 2018 by john1950 addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If you are unable to find the correct probe, would a 24v Land Rover one be suitable/adaptable? https://www.johnrichardssurplus.co.uk/land-rover/lightweight/engine/water-temperature-sender-560794.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarland Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have been contemplating that option. It needs to have a two pin electrical connection. It also appears to have an adapter that makes up into a 1/2" x 3/8" UNF adapter in the coolant rail so I have options for the thread sizes on the probe.

I saw the picture of the probe on the Xmod website (out of stock) and it looks the same as the one fitted to Rolls Royce B Range petrol engines. You could try Richard Banister with the NATO number and see what he has in stock, 01797 253211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
