Not needed for the UK Kev (as you know), but if you take your truck to Spa later this year...you need one!

cheers andy i had better get it calibrated. When i get the mot's done they only check the speed limiter is working properly as i have it tacho exempt for private use only.

It took them an hour to test the tacho, most of that time was spent trying to find a speed limiter of some sort on my lorry biggrin as Andy has said, you only need a working one to travel in Europe.I'm told if you are stopped in Europe, not using a tacho they can impound the lorry and it's contents eek

Bit different to over here then. A foreigner getting caught without a working tacho gets a council house, a social worker and 200 fags.
