Looking at buying a tilt & slide recovery truck (somewhere between 7.5t - 11t) and the older ('96-'01) DAF FA's seem to come up at reasonable prices, and the crewcab versions have plenty of room.

Anyone got any experience with these or recommend any alternatives?

Cheers smile

Thats reassuring thumbup

I know they don't look the most modern machine on the road, I'm just after solid and reliable.

I've got a fair bit of experience with Cummins engines (iSBE, L10, B-series etc), I guess it's a B-series in the DAF? Most of the ones i'm looking at are the 150bhp variant - what other options were there?

Thanks!

Ok, so something like this should be fitted with a late 150bhp B-series 5.9 with intercooler?
