Well was too cheap to turn down, but onlys needs a little bit of work, plus wedge fits in nicely, need to fit some planks to raise the floor, as the Exhorst catches a bit.
Took for a MOT and only failed on a tyre, Fuel leak and Fog light. so hopfully a easy fix.
Its a bit heavy as 7.4 tons and no PAS. going to have arm's like popeye by the end of the season.

Did I post pic's of the VAN, as it looks very good, just keeps getting air in the fuel.
May keep the Van for a while, for support. but going to sell the trailer.

Hope you don't have to go too far for any races, as it will take you forever to get there in that. Does it do 50 mph smile

It will do 60+ and is fine sitting at 55.
A transit with a trailer and tools spair wheels etc is going to be slower.
Does take some getting used too, plus no PAS that the biggest pain. fine on a motorway though.

An indicated 60 Leigh is different to a real 60...fancy a race against a 200TDi Disco loaded up with your other recent purchase wink

By all accounts the truck is an honest reliably plodder and if it serves you as well as Kev it will be great, the only problem with trucks is you cant rock up at a petrol station and fill the racer up with V-Power.

Well I had the GPS in it taking it to the MOT station, and the speedo is spot on. was surprized as most speedo's are about 3-5% out.

I just have to stock up on gerry can's and pop down in the transit.

I'll pass on the truck racing tho.

You need to change the '2' to a '5' on the side - otherwise, job done!

Will it run on chip oil too?

It should run on chip-fat.
Also need to be a 4.0 not 2.0 as the BBWRC will be a 4ltr.

Got the tire front changed today 117.50 ouch.
