Named after a nice chocolate covered ice cream on a stick  :lol:  :lol:

Electric cab tilt pump on these, really good    Considering the size of the cab, the running gear and chassis look tiny.

[dreadnought110]

Must say vast improvement over the early one's and not bad for a Renault..Nice driving position like driving from the seconed floor of a block of flat's!!! 8)  8)

Only worked on a couple of Magnums, not a bad motor to work around. Mainly worked on Premiums and Midlums. Fairly good robust trucks albeit French made  :lol:

[Hobnailkelly]

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

[narked]

We got a great big convooooy...

If only it was white, then it'd be the best Magnum goin...

And yeah, those things do pull well without trailers don't they? Mate of mine took me out for a day in his Scania hauling timber, first part of the day was going to collect the trailer, overtaking left right and centre! Another bloke here reckons in his DAF XF95 he'd beat most of the local boy racers off the lights if he was quick enough with his gear changes.

I was a big fan of the premiums, but the MAN TG took some beating, and i still have a soft spot for my first biggun, an "A" series ERF with a 220 cummins and holes in the floor and fumes coming out of the engine cowel :shock:  :D  :D  :D

Book: From \'Classics and Nostalgia\' in HJ\'s Book of Motoring Answers 1998
Title: Two-stroke Land Rover
\"Many years ago I drove a long-wheelbase Land Rover from London to what was then Salisbury in Southern Rhodesia. You may be interested to know that it had an unusual engine - a three-cylinder two-stroke diesel. So perhaps I made a small mark in motoring history.\"

This was the first I\'d heard of a two-stroke three-cylinder Land Rover diesel. But twenty readers came forward with information. One not only identified the engine, but enclosed a copy of an advertisement from The Autocar of 29 July 1955, headed \'Operation Enterprise proves Turner- Diesel Reliability\'. This described \'a gruelling 10,000 mile journey, over desert and jungle in appalling weather\' as \'convincing proof of the stamina and dependability of the Turner-Diesel 2-Stroke Supercharged Engine.\' A further article, from Automobile Engineer of November 1954, told how these engines were designed by Prof. Hans List of Graz, Austria (where they were called \'Jenbachs\') and built under licence by Turners of Wolverhampton in 1.4, 2.1 and 2.8 litre capacities with two, three or four cylinders. Maximum power was 37.5 bhp, 56 bhp and 75 bhp at 2,800 rpm, and maximum torque was 76 lb. ft., 114 lb. ft. and 152 lb. ft. at 1,900 rpm. Rootes also made two-stroke supercharged diesel engines at the time and these were fitted to Commer and Karrier trucks and fire appliances. Other manufacturers of two-stroke diesels were Rolls Royce, Perkins and GMC.

intersting eh??? 8)  8)

The old ERF (again) had the exhaust pointing out sideways under the front bumper, it sounded georgeous going through small towns and vibrating off the walls, also in traffic, you could give it a bootfull and the smoke would go straight into open car windows. :twisted:  :twisted:
