Great trucks let down by rotting bodywork and poor brakes. The perkins engins are bombproof.

 

The front axle isn’t great either, the swivels are welded to the tube so cant be replaced, it’s an MOT failure when they rust and start leaking. The axles are also in short supply (boughtons made them and there are a finite quantity).

Couse if you are intending to wing it as agricultural you can ignore any MOT issues till they stop you rolling.:thumbdown:

 

ON the up side you do get that excellent Perkins Phaser engine and lockable or limited slip difs.

Well you could use it on a farm where it would be slightly less useful than a tractor and trailer, if you did use it on private land registration would be a moot point.

There a guy near me who has one for tree work, its been registered as "Special vehicle" for years, he ran it on red for years, until his yard was raided by the ministry who told him not to (no prosecution)

 

He also has a Renault that he has registered the same.

When you say raided by the ministry who exactly do you mean?

 

I ask because lots of people say, “so and so got pulled and they did nothing about the red”

 

The ministry is common speak for VOSA (ministry of transport). VOSA have no interest in fuels. The only people interested in fuel is HMCE.
