X246B Mk II Meet Sam, we collected him on the way home from our lamp buying trip, the bloke who found him, also called Sam couldn't wait to get rid of him, so he was free to a good home, and as we were passing by on our way home there was no postage costs. Unbelievably there was still quite a bit of oily 'tuff in the tank as well as some pressure. So I know that the tank is in good condition, which is one thing less on the fettling list.!

Sam is another candidate for a pump transplant. I'll fettle the old pump later on, I might invest in one of the betterer NRVs. Wonder
