Indeed, the SC does denote a Single Carburettor as in a Y-type, which information could make my response incorrect.

Unfortunately I have no information on Y-type engines in the Production Records, and do not remember whether Y-type engines duplicated TD engine numbers, or or had their own, separate separate numbering sequence.

Can anyone clarify the Y-type numbering sequence?

Guys, I must say, I didn't take that photo, I saw it and stole it, ha ha ,I just think it's just what historic cars are all about--

Chris, my 53 with the tool box body ID plate is TD26711. Although the lid might have been changed there are no remnants of holes in the firewall where the body ID plate would have been in previous years.

Mea culpa. I was mistaken. It was the body plate that went under the tool box lid. I remember removing the plate from the bottom side of the lid. But something (old age) caused me to think it was the chassis plate. Notice the holes in the photo. Too close together for the chassis number plate. There are no plugged holes on the firewall of my 53 TD where the body plate would have been fastened...

Thanks and cheers to Nora.

Not for me as I bought a low entry (price and lift) jack last year but interesting to know, and for others, thanks.

Ironically Guy I deliberately didn't use 4-LIFE (4-NOW in my case) initially when I got the Midget to check that the engine and heating/cooling system and components were good so that I wasn't wasting my money on long life coolant that would soon be spilling over the dirt on the chassis.

Same way I ran the car very regularly, serviced, repaired and maintained it for six months before I tr...

Les,
I was thinking that you perhaps might not have already cleaned and thoroughly flushed the whole system rad, hoses, matrix, pump, etc. and perhaps that muck/crud/grit/glup could migrate from other areas of the system to the block or indeed other areas and perhaps even been loosen and helped to be transported by the overheating.

Your engine rebuild was done x-years ago (sorry I for...

Nigel,
it was only that last paragraph in your earlier messyave, which mentioned having to clean the system twice in a short space of time that made me think. But I did also remember that you were an advocate for the 4-Life stuff which by implication would suggest infrequent draining, even if in practice that isn't achieved!!
