CW, All I recollect is that DAF did not build its own engines until 1957, when they licence built Leyland 0.350 engines, later they developed their own designs. The engine in the boat does look similar to a Leyland, but I am not that knowledgable on DAF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see what i can find out its a popular engine in the bigger barges i am told,along with Gardner ,scania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 La Famille Barnes were at Twickenham on Saturday for the Help For Heroes rugby match. Most amusing day. Sunday was more shifting and dumping stuff pending the loft conversion. Scaffolding goes up Tuesday. New Tv aerial goes up Weds. We might even get Channel 5. Roof comes off Thursday. Mrs B climbing the walls. Got to work at my F-I-L's house on Saturday and then put our stuff in store Sunday...which will hopefully leave me a little time for the MUTT. Then I have to work for Rupert for three weekends. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 We had the "pleasure" of relocating the daughter Mk 1 into her Uni's halls of residence.

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi CW, Not at Chatham then? Is that the DAF engine that was derived from a Leyland engine? DAF made the 680 under licence,looks like the Leyland TL11 (11.1 ltres) was developed in the late 70s from the 680.of mid 50s.It was an enlarged version of the 600 (9.8ltres) of the late 40s.so this engine could poss be a 600,dunno,anyone else can help?

CW, Did I spot a data plate on that engine? If it showed bore and stroke, it might be possibly to match it with a Leyland. But as it is a DAF, then surely parts are still good for them? Leyland diesel parts are still around, so if identical, that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
