Dropped the sump oil today, first out came 20 litres of water then 10 litres of oil. I think the crease in the hood which has some small rust holes has leaked water into the distributor or oil filler, as both were missing their caps. The distributor is really rusty in the top around the points. The dipstick was also out about an inch so that is another possibility.
The oil filter oil is clean and shows no signs of having been run with water in the oil.
I added 30 litres of diesel and oil mixture so that it is above where the water level would have been.

When I drain that out I will pull the little sump off and give everything a good clean.

While I was underneath or getting out from underneath, I should say, I noticed that the little bolt in filler plates in the ends of the bumper are still in place and in fair condition.
This truck continues to amaze me.

I have been searching the internet for something on the name on the door, but it is almost as if they never existed. I am going to phone the local historical society and see if they can give me some leads.

I was checking some things in the M211 cab today and found the previous owner had made battery boxes set up under the right hand seat. They had cut the under bonnet left hand battery box off, I think that shows in the photo of the cab.
