Just a tip if you are on Facebook, one of most interesting pages I follow is Mick Gould. Always great descriptions of the recovery operations he undertakes and always fascinating. They had to recover a 90 tonne crane recently. Seems to be one of those companies you call when all seems impossible.
I’ve no connection with them in any way, just thought some might find interesting
Yes an interesting page, and found out why all those MAN units were going on fire.
I bet that DAF knows it’s got that behind

I’ve just realised that it’s 40 years ago since Mick and I worked at a recovery company just outside Paddock Wood - he was an apprentice then and he hasn’t changed. He got me one day, I used to take sandwiches to work and one day my wife put a Mars bar in as well. I bit into it and arrgh, there’s something inside it. I was going to do this that and the other and complain to Mars about it… Meanwhile Mick, Lee and the other fitters were killing themselves because Mick had pushed a length of solder wire through the wrapper!

Exactly,it’s safe to say if your following a DAF you will pass it on the next hill .
I’m not sure how true this is but I’ve heard that savvy DAF drivers fit horse blinkers to their headlights so the trucks cannot read the signs that say “slow lorries”. Allegedly.
