big chris

tell you what your arm must be massive after using that drill lol

aint been on for a while but just to let you keep up i now have a zil 131 with fitted v8 perkins as well as everything else

thanks guys for the notices but i have got hold of a tl11 which im on with re building now i did ring about the one in lancashire the day classic plant came out but it went a week before

thanks anyway guys

still looking if anyone comes across one

thanks chris

just steam clean it off then add paint is it the one with a gardener in it?

:wow:

well done for getting it sorted m8 looked good in the heavy haulage section

still looking for a 690 someone must know where there is one out there!!!:yawn:

good luck with the clutch mate you will need it big steve is doing a similar conversion and with the cummins but hes using the scammell back housing

I am relaying info whispered into my ear from someone half my age (my younger son) who buys and sells trucks for export in a small way. He tells me there is still a market for 680 engines as long as they are complete with no holes in them big enough to put your head in

i thought they were off export now ?

still going to try to get one though

forgiven

:wow::nut:

Sharpo why !!!!!!!!!

im a bit young but i could do with packin in work to get some of my projects completed

yes very easy to forget m8

slipped a jcb loading shovel 680 in it as a temp measure, but i now realise how good the 690 was

the martian we got has a tl11 in it, and that goes well maybe go that way or if our kid gets into gear and finishes his l10 conversion i may go that way

who knows just thought it was worth a shot askin on here

ieven looked at a 400hp cat engine for the martian which would give me a spare tl11 for the explorer but dont fancy fly by wire throttle but it did sound nice

whatever i get it WILL BE RUNNING WITH ANTI FREEZE:cry:

Its dead its blown into the engine valve gear as well as out of the engine so

priced lockstitch will be more to repair than its worth

yes i want a spankin but when its parked up in a shed you sometimes forget about these things when i found it i actually was going to drop water that visit no one could be more gutted than me that 690 had done nothing never smoked grumbled or lost power it was truely awsome:-(:-(

Bad to say m8 frost!!!! Its inside a building but froze did have some antifreeze in but as it leaks alittle just got topped up

have replaced with 680 but its just not the same!!!

So thought its worth an ask

Wanted leyland690 turbo if anyone knows of one please e mail thanks chris
