Thanks Andy, you're quite right. I missed the window between the cab doors. See picture 21713 for the third pump from Ellesmere Port.

We purchase one in South Africa and would like to get specks on the Fire Truck, model and mechanical details if any one can help.

Johan. Was stationed at Chester for many years and drove this machine hundreds of times. Have since retired. From memory the spec is; SS135. fitted with Perkins V8 540 Turbo. (215 BHP). Allison Auto box. Godiva UMP High/Low pressure pump of 750 gpm capacity with 4 deliveries and using 5 1/2 suction. A fast and reliable machine.

Where can I find a wiring diagram for this Dennis Fire Truck (SS135)the previous owner remove the whole backside and in the proses a lot of wires were cut and from the engine also. The engine runs on idle and do not pick up revs if you opened the accelerator.Any advice are welcome.
