A merry christmas to you Dean ,Paul and Mark for your efforts with this fantastic thread. Durhams of Teesside became part of PD logistics as you can see wagon is pulling an old liveried Durhams tanker. Think PD stands for Powell Duffryn group they now run Teesport and Hartlepool ports.
Thanks for the info “jshepguis” Good stuff chap and thanks for your input over the year.
Couple more of PD Logistics.

The Tilcon Foden S39 in Metalairs advert was probably one of two destined for our Ballidon quarry in Derbyshire Dean as they had the smaller tanks? We had TRB 132K and TRA 243K driven by Harry Glover and Ian Slater, both long gone alas. I did several trips to Metalair at Sutton Bridge to either collect brand new tankers or a new chassis which had the old tanks removed from the previous trucks refurbished. They had two mobile fitters, one (Rick) lived locally to the factory and was sadly killed in a road accident and the other (Steve I think??) was also a local lad but was based in Cheshire. Both did work at our quarry converting the tanks from probe to pad discharge which took a couple of days work for each one. Thank’s for posting, and have a Good Christmas.Pete.
Thanks for the info Pete and your input over the last year !

Hollis had a Leyland Terrier with a Luton body which we serviced, it had water in the sump (the usual liner seal problem, though not so common on the 98 series engines with twin seals in the block instead of a single one like the older 5.1/5.7 engines) so I fitted new liners etc. A few days later it came back with water in the oil again! Thinking I had split a seal it was stripped again but nothing visual was found. So it was rebuilt again but the sump was left off and sure enough water was weeping slowly from a liner. Took it apart yet again and a torch and mirror showed a blowhole actually in the seal groove in the block casting. A new short engine cured it! In all my years working on BMC wet liner engines that was the only such case I came across.
Pete.
Thanks Pete you seemed to have spent more time stipping engines down than driving !
