Hiya Andrew, how you keeping mate, well I hope ! It’s putting some ■■■■■ out of the exhaust that old girl The LAD Octopus exhaust came out in front of the O/S wheel and when the Power Plus had been working hard, like pulling over Shap with 28 ton of plate on board it used to blacken the whole of the front wheel. First chance we got I used to wash it all off ! Happy days Cheers Dennis

Hiya,
This Octopus is a bit of a smoker she’s throwing quite a bit of muck out
in this pic and just look at the sheet bit of soot on there, new pistons
and liners methinks, bet she’s had a hard life.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi harry,
I noticed the mess up the side of the sheet.tbf to shaun he has not long returned from northern Scotland on the west coast road run with that octopus and drag.i dare say a lot of the mess on the sheet was from that?
Regards Andrew.
