HJR 451L with its winter heater installed on the front grill.
was a bit of Kimberly Clark’s slip sheet cut down made a nice neat job, did it make much difference just a little.
Went down to covent garden with some spuds with Stevie in the winter it was that cold inside the cab the
Gaz stove he had to boil water etc that i had lit to get some heat in the cab the little valve froze up so no heat from that,
had to break the rope Dolly’s with two hammers as they had all frozen solid when we came to tip.

Brian,
Which motor did you prefer the most?

That ERF demonstrator returned well over 10mpg the week I had it. I got a letter from the dealer saying although the mpg was very good, after downloading the data I could have improved it by at least another 1mpg by using the cruise control, (which I had thought fussy to operate so I did not use it). At the time I was a traction haulier for Fjord Line running at max gross (41t) regularly. kevmac47.

R&R HANDS some ive put on before and a few more
