Thornycroft 230 (leyland/bmc based?)

My boat has a Thornycroft 230. Not sure what variant, the plate just says 230. Does anyone know much about these engines? Or if there is a workshop or user manual floating around on the web? Or some site with info? Tyring to get hold of any info whatsoever.

Also does anyone know of a parts supplier in Australia or will ASAP supplies ship worldwide?

Thanks so much for the links. The first one worked best. The last one gave me a virus morning so beware.
What are the typical parts of this engine that I should keep as handy spares?
