Anyone got a new Euro 6 Daf ? It be slow
Discussion
I have been "given" a new 12 tonne this week and I already dislike it.
Slow just doesn't do it justice,maybe it'll loosen up a bit.
Some of the dash messages are annoying re driving economically.
"Braking lightly saves fuel".......well I would if the pedal wasn't an On/Off switch.
The most comical of all is "Well anticipated"....I kid you not,if I have coasted and save a nano litre of diesel.
So anyone else got a new Daf with the condescending dash messages ?

where I spend 50% of my time.Now I'm posting a partial retraction ,a back pedal.
I spent quite a lot of yesterday on the M25,surprisingly easy flowing much of the time and once
my shiny new truck had eventually got up to Vmax of 56 it was actually okay.
To the last poster,my company only does deliveries in the South East so high mileage is not going to happen.
58 reg truck that's just gone had only 265,000 KMs in 6.5 years.
Some days in London,I could do 50-100 KMs in 8-9 hours.

I'm now going to make this thread my readers truck blog thingy.
15 days gone and something has broken !
A brake bulb has gone.
It would be quite difficult to not get the warnings as you also get the ding ding ding ding when you turn on the ignition.
The big warning gets a bit smaller but there are 3 signs showing fault present.
There's the Orange triangle above the temp guagd and a little bulb symbol by the cab diagram.
The screws holding the light cover is now held on with torx screws do my screwdriver is no good either.....
