Gardner Info
Prepair Ltd
lot of LX and LXB engine information, mostly handbooks and parts
lists.
Although we dodn't see much here on the multi-cylinder engines, please
let me know if you need any information, I have the start of a
mini-library on the Gardner products!
The latest is an 8LXB parts list, which almost completes the
automotive ranges, just need to find the earlier L3 etc.
Kind regards,
Peter

A brief return as I could not let this one pass having been told!
Gardners have not gone, they are more "Gardner" than they have been for some time.
Paul Gardner Engineering has been re-manufacturing engines for 12 years. http://www.paulgardner-engineering.co.uk/
They cover the entire range of engines from L series to LX.
In addition, Gardner Parts are a large organisation based at Barton Hall who also supply re-manufactured engines and a
large range of original Gardner parts. http://www.gardnerparts.co.uk/
As far as I know there is no shortage of later Gardner literature but we have fairly large numbers of original manuals
and parts lists for the L and LW series engines should anyone need them, we also have spare new LW injectors and L
series needles and nozzles along with some LW pumps and camboxes.
For anyone visiting The Anson, Roger Gardner has just finished work on the T series Gardner (running for the October
open day).
Cheers
Paul (born within spitting distance of the works and used to play next door as a kid, hence the interest)
p.s. Apologies to Peter for correcting.
p.p.s. Lots of shiny new videos on the Internal Fire website (as I'm here).

No apology needed, Paul, if my info is wrong then I'm glad to see a
correction.

Nice to hear from you.
Are there any Internal Fire open days planned for the coming year? I must
come and have a look at your engines soon ;o))

(mid 1990's) I came across a pile of them in an old lightship owned by
the friend of a friend in London.
The lightship was the 'Nore', it had spent its life moored on some
sandbar? of this name near the entrance to the Thames, then spent
several years moored at St Katherines dock near Tower Bridge
(where I first saw it in early 1990s). I believe it sunk while there,
which probably hasn't helped the Gardners, nor the generators.
This light ship had no propulsion of its own, it was towed into position
and anchored there.
It had a robust wooden hull with steel? cladding to take the grounding
that occurred. The chap I met had purchased it from the St Katherines
Dock, and had it shifted down the coast about an hour or so South from
London. I saw it there, moored with other house type boats and barges,
the owner intended to live on it. The Gardiners were single cylinder
vertical diesels, there were about 3 for generating power, and several
driving air compressors for the fog horn. Everthing seemed intact on
this old ship, even the light was workable.
