ex Dursley - their website says: In 1971 the oldest Commer was replaced by a new Ford D600/HCB-Angus Water-Tender-Ladder vehicle (WDF 804J). This was followed in 1973 when the second Commer was replaced by Ford D1013/HCB-Angus Water-Tender-Ladder (EAD 953L).

The D600s had the Canadian Ford five liter petrol engine, while the D1013 was essentially the same chassis cab - but with a six liter diesel.

In addition, the 1014 fire appliance chassis had a five liter turbocharged diesel, while a Perkins V8 diesel was also offered in both the 1617 and 1317, which eventually became the most popular power plant.
