Sad to think it had the Jaguar engine! Some brigades had so many problems with it in their Dennis D series appliances that they actually tore then out and replaced them with the Perkins 6-354 diesel...

When I ran a factory in Malines building tracked APVs for NATO armies, the users reported around 25% out of service because of problems with the 4.2 liter Jag engines!
