eddy8men Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 hi fella's I bought a cheap tm with crane for range recovery tasks, (Churchill's hopefully) the truck had been used by british coal as a fitter/tyre wagon hence the crane and other mods, it was advertised as missing the transfer box which was an easy fix but on starting for the first time today it threw a load of oil out of the left side of the engine, on closer inspection it was found to be a missing pipe from the union pictured. the top pipe feeds the turbo the other the fip but i'm buggared if I can find where the missing pipe went, can someone please enlighten me as to what i'm missing and where it goes to. cheers rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Could be oil pressure switch or a take off for an oil pressure guage !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy mccarthy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi the large pipe feeds the turbo the small one feeds the injector pump the vacant hole is for the combined oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning lamp sender unit. If you cant find one just put a standard oil pressure switch in. Good luck Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wouldn't get too excited Rick, I've driven several TM's, admittedly civi versions and hated the b----y things. They were not well liked by owners or drivers in the haulage industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
