Bill, I have a similar tale. A relative of mine bought a new Austin 1800 in the 60's I think, looking under the bonnet he saw the oil filler and the water filler close to one another, [sideways engine],he got it wrong and, of course, the engine got filled with water, wrecking it. BMC must have realised this was poor and modified the system, it now read 'Fill with oil' and, yes, that same relative did just that, wrecking a second engine.
