What other use would an engineer have for the Financial Times except propagating combustion or emergency toilet paper It also was very good on the fuel, at a steady 40 to 50 miles an hour she was doing 35-40 mpg. Otherwise a good engine, my van had done about 400,000 miles when it was stolen in 1992 from a carpark in Cannock, the police said the engine was probably in a canal boat within 24hours The other major gripe is that they only have a 3000 mile service interval as the oil gets a lot of carbon etc in it. Sometimes on really cold morning I would have to take off the air filter (oil bath type) and stuff a piece of lighted news paper into the inlet manifold and quickly spin her over to get her to start. It ran well but was a barstoll to start, I put a heavy duty battery on it and uprated the cables from the battery to the starter to 65mm CSA welding cable and put 2 or 3 extra earths using the same welding cable onto the chassis and fitted and extra glow plug starter into the air intake to so she would swing over fast enough in winter (UK only) to start. on the easystart, I had one of these engines (4108) fitted (factory) into a 69 Ford Transit Van.
