Hi everyone, so while I'm not a real trucker I've recently bought an Iveco 75e 17 which I'm going to use to transport my old racing car around in..
I've got a couple of questions which I've searched a bit but not really got any definitive answers so thought maybe someone on here might be able to help.
1) As its private use only I don't need to use the tacho, but as for MOTs is it the same as a normal test for a 7.5 tonner or did I read somewhere that it can go through a different type of test specifically for non-commercial usage
2) The speed limiter! Any way round it? I've tried pulling a couple of fuses but that just made it worse and limited the revs to 1500rpm in all gears.. PM's gratefully received!
3)Anyone know anything about birds (the feathered variety!) Its been parked a while and I've noticed a birds nest on the engine, couldn't see if there was anyone home but I wonder what type of bird would nest in an engine bay, and how long the nest might be occupied?!

Thanks for any info, and if I've spelt anything wrong, well, meh!
