Sorry that’s lost on me; I’ve never heard of him.
Took off cylinder head this afternoon. Not good. Norb you was spot on,there is a score mark all the way down number 3 bore. Number 6 cylinder has by the looks of the carbon ring up the bore 1.5" from the top snapped its rings. Also the piston crown has damage on it from squashing a bit of broken up ring. There was a small piece embeded in the piston that I dug out and it looks like a piece of ring to me. Cant think what else it could be other than a bit of valve guide. Dont now of anyone around the Wrexham area that does in situ boring but if anyone does could they let me no before I pull the motor. PS where is the best place to get head gaskets etc for this motor ,or is it main dealer parts? Thanks again for all the help.
For the head gasket set either ■■■■■■■ ,DAF ,possible Factors…As for engineering shop ,may be an idea to call, pop in to your local dealer and ask who they use
Is that engine the one that CNH (Case New Holland) were involved in?
Might be able to get parts cheaper through their dealers, them farmers don’t like parting with cash unless they have to!

Shame on you Own Account Driver …Though I did enjoy the trailer thread 
He just won’t listen to others opinions,no matter where they come from…He will be back next weekend
Just an update. Had the fella out to bore the block in situ that wagger put me onto. Top notch job, done with some real nice equipment. Had extraction on the boring bar and I swear not one grain of swarf went in the block.Would recomend steve,he had all the angles covered. Thanks again for all the help.

Good to hear you got sorted, he really knows his stuff does Steve, he seems to keep pretty busy & travels all over the place.
He is quite often to be found at a friend of mine doing tractor engine blocks.
Good to know you have got a result ,also wagger and his contact steve,what can you say excellent lads …As finding a engineering shop never mind a good one can be difficult at times
