Hi,
It seems like a Foden Mk 6 to me, if it has a turbo as well it is a Mk 7---I think! Not sure about spares but they were also used in a lot of Foden lorries and manuals appear on e-bay quite often.

"Britannia" is a 1926 Foden C Type 6 Ton steam wagon.
In 1969 Michael List Brain and friends embarked on a 4-year-long round the world trip, covering many tens of thousands of miles in a steam driven wagon with solid rubber tyres and a box van on the back for sleeping accomodation.
A journey not for the faint hearted!
