Gardner 6LXCT now fitted with the Turbo

[@davidellis279]

I drove an 8wheel Foden tipper with this engine fitted,running at 30ton gross it was the biggest lemon I have ever driven,you would have never known it was fitted with a Turbo,absolutely gutless,no revs no power whatsoever,the F7 Volvo 230 bhp I had before that would run rings around the Foden,it’s no wonder the British truck industry went down the toilet along with Gardner,great engine for industrial use running pumps and generators but useless for road transport. The Swedes have taken over truck sales in this country and is it any wonder.

Gardner engines were never designed for a turbo and were never a success

That was the death of Gardner engines ! It was a complete disaster ! A poor attempt at trying to compete with Volvo and Scania etc ! We fitted a couple of these to fishing vessels and were soon replaced !
