Oh that's a shame, I was trying to envisage what it would look like. Perhaps someone clever on here could draw a depiction of this mythical mechanical monster!

Didn't know Land Rovers were made in 1918.

Somebody who is more knowlegable about these engines will be along soon to put you right. I only know about earlier diesels. Sorry.

Am I showing a certain degree of thickness in that I have no idea what all that is about?
