Bedford CF? Lovely bit of kit! Drove one down from Liverpool, at Stoke it sounded like a machine gun in the cab. lifted the engine cover while still running and the plug was lying on top igniting the mixture being forced out of the hole…
Put plug back in finger tight and drove the last 25 miles home
Seller had checked the plugs before selling it.
Loads of problems with losing power on the way back from Scotland (after 1000 trouble free miles on holiday) Loose wire on the points!
Aside from two patches I had to weld up for the MOT (both cosmetic but within a foot of a suspension point) that's all I recall going wrong in two years of adventure. Enough power to climb from Lynmouth to Lynton without a hiccough in third. Just drank petrol…
Forgot the pic! Went to a good home but you can see the condition.
