Andy is it the cast iron head version or the Ally head (holbay huntery thingy) thingy?

The cast iron one should be ready tomorrow morning OK afternoon.

I am keeping my fingies crossed for you mate.

Thanks guys. Too late for engine conversions probably Rhino.

Bill, it is of course the ironhead, a bit like it's owner. Do you have a spare or summat?? Or have I mis-read your post?

Anyway, the old bastard is now fixed, all I have to do is go collect it tomorrow. I couldn't stand the thought of having it to pieces over the weekend what with my failing health (had a terrible dose of flu which won't bloody go away) so I took the cowards way out and went to the professionals.  Will this bloody expense never end? Don't anyone EVER contemplate buying a Commer. They are crap crap crap.

Andy, no sorry. I wish I did have some spares left over from a job I did years ago for a thieving fireman on his old Hunter type Alpine. They would be yours for the years of enjoyment I have had from this thread and all the others about the old beast.

Keep on, keeping on !

I will have to keep on keeping on seeing as there is no alternative way of us getting a fridge and genny to LM.  :( If you do ever come across any spares Bill, be sure to tip me the wink. Am seriously thinking abaout an alloy headed engine though.

The rupture was between cylinders two and three apparently. It was so down on power ??? I thought the head gasket had gone cos it was pinking and backfiring but there was no oil or bubbles in the rad. However, there are no oil or water galleries where it blew so was only when we tested the compression could we diagnose the problem. BTW the clutch was nearly right through the rivets and the fly wheel is badly scored. I can't understand why it didn't start slipping years ago.  ???

Oh for a new LDV Maxus.

Thanks Mark. For all you Commer fans, a full report and statistics will follow, but as if you needed telling, the old girl did it again.

And yes, I do hope someone got a photo of the grand arrival. I'm fairly sure that one has never been done before.
