Just bumping this thread back up in response to a recent request for info about the E16 on another thread. Robert ![]()
Think Hankins have still got that 14. Just down the road from me and keep meaning to try and get a few pics.
Here’s a pic of an antipodean E-series ERF. I know that in UK they had Twin-splitters as standard equipment and Fuller Road-Rangers as an option, but can anyone tell us what standard gearbox they used in New Zealand and Australia? Robert ![]()

Here’s an ERF E-series E14:400 with a 13-speed Fuller in it. Anyone know when ERF started offering this 'box in the E14:400 E-series, or was it from the start? Robert

I know this vehicle very well it was supplied by S Jones garages to an owner driver and the reason it had a 13 speed was that at that time 1987 88 the twin splitter did not have a high enough torque rating to be matched up to the 14 ltr 400 but i think that you could always spec a 13 speed if you wanted one


Great replies! Cheers Dan and Jerry! Robert ![]()

I’m looking forward to the rest of it. One of my favourite trucks - used to do European work with an E14:320 (with Twin-splitter). Robert ![]()
Steves other videos on youtube are definatly worth viewing .
Hi
The picture of the E" series converted to a tipper with crane, regno. F312 UDG brought back memories for me.
When I started with W J Oldacres I got an “E” series reg no. F315 UDG new. It was fitted with the L10 325 and twin splitter box . The same depot also got F316 UDG fitted to the same spec.
We also had a D reg “E” series with a L10 290 and a 13 speed Fuller. It had a high ratio diff and once wound up would pass pidgeons, but it didn’t like hills.
The"E" series was a great drivers truck in its time, comfortable ,warm, good driveline. Wouldn’t be too upset if I had to take one out again tomorrow.

Bassman ,it’s still in daily use, Kent ,sussex and Surrey are regular runs .
Robert mate,I’m pretty sure E Series here had either nine speed or 15 speed Fuller’s.
There are still a few still working. For some great kiwi ERFs check out this page.
