Ah, the dreaded stuck Cap's Lock key syndrome.... :-))
Clare:
If you could advise the full engine spec, we can sort it out for you. Posting in CAPITALS is not considered polite on Usenet, normal typing is quite readable.
The spec plate is on the side of the engine, probably about halfway down and will have a long number like:
1234LS1A66Dig that out and get back to us, we'll decipher it or you can go to:

and you should be able to have a stab at it yourself.

Welcome to the wonderful world of uk.rec.engines.stationary!
You will find a list of serial numbers and corresponding years of manufacture on Peter Forbes' rather fine site at

I believe that, armed with the engine serial number, you can write enclosing an SAE to David Edgington who has the factory daybooks and can tell you to whom the engine was first supplied.
David Edgington, Lodge Wood Farm, Hawkeridge, Westbury, Wiltshire, BA13 4lA .
Best of luck!
