    Internet master technicians - “as it won’t start we need to connect up all the diagnostic equipment, carry out compression tests, calibrate all timing, replace any worn or old parts”. Jack and Joe - “we need to slam the f****r back together and batter it with the Foden until it self educates and learns it needs to run”

      Or more likely Messrs Rover who built thousands of them after swapping jet engine production with RR. But I take your point!

    Amazing job guys. Ive worked with cars for along time, could do most of the work to restore a car from the ground up, but the way old diesels are to get going again, the work you guys do to all of your fleet, having to make most of the parts from scratch, is just baffling sometimes. You guys definitely deserve alot more attention for the work you put into all of your fleet.

    and if it weren't for the mighty Foden you'd have Jack rigged up in just his cowgirl booties and bonnet trying to push from behind (that came out wrong) or right depending on how you stand - great work getting the beasty going - needs a lot of Jacks excellent making pretty with the wet paint stuff
    (people have always asked what paint i use, i always reply, 'Wet Paint' it goes on better
    my new pal has a Foden and just collected his new toys, collected two CVRTs for total rebuild, going to need a lot of bits, like tracks and stuff, diesel gearboxes
    i was just having a read up on Wiki, what ever happened to the mighty Foden company, interesting history
