Tried bleeding it, would not pump any fuel to bleed it! so pump off expecting a split diapram, but it was a bit of crap stuck in the non return valve on the pressure side of the pump. Going to refit it on friday morning and try to fire her up, i miss not having her running.

That problem Has been cured By a pump recon, found lift pump now stuck on the side of the injector pump, going to try bleeding it tomorrow and see if it,s a lift pump problem.

Hello, I have aFoden 6x6 with a Rolls Eagle 305 engine, where is the diesel lift pump? it ran out of fuel even though there is plenty in the tank, took the fuel filter off and it was almost empty of fuel! so either a pump problem or airleak, so i know where the injector pump is and behind it is the upside down fuel filter that screws on to a housing that is attached to the engine block so where is the pump and it,s priming lever? Cheers Mark

Hello i,m from North East to, Crook. i have a Foden gun limber i use for timber extraction.

Bought the trailer so in the near future i,l be seeing if can 3 point turn it in the woods:cool2: i,l still be looking for a bigger trailer in the future if it,s cheap! cheers all for the info.

Hi the passenger window is still in it,s a trick of the light, even though it is used in the forest, it only gets driven on the forest roadways and fields, it certainly does not barge it,s way through the forest, we use tractors and land rovers to skid the timber to the truck, it get,s treated very well as the last thing i want to do is damage it, i know that forestry can be rough on vehicles. It fits in well with our fleet. 2 David Brown tractors and a Leyland tractor and a Land Rover 90 and an old Discovery, we find that old British stuff is perfect for working in the forest. Cheers nice to hear from you.

Here is a couple of photos of my Foden, which i bought off Simon in the summer, it,s now working in the the forest 2 or 3 days a week, it has had a timber grab and rotator fitted and is a excelent truck for forestry and makes easy work of the 8 mile trip back to our yard fully loaded with timber. Next week i will be fitting a 13.5 ton ramsey winch to the front. I keep thinking of buying a drawbar trailer so we can carry more timber and carry tractors and other machines to the forest, but can,t find one that would suit our needs.
