    I think you should take it to a Vosa testing site and just pull in and see how long it takes for them to notice it's not legit 🤣

    I think you should prowl the M25 and other VOSA 'hotspots' and prowl until you find a VOSA car on the roads. Once found, assume full STALK mode. Sit back, dont be too obvious but keep the VOSA target in sight. Game on Tim

    Fit it out as a genuine replica inside and out and take it to shows to display as an example of your arch nemesis 😅. It will attract loads of interest, you can highlight the regulations for an operator so that you can also show that you are a responsible haulier (You Tuber) advocating the fun you can have as a driver and Mickey taker.

    A few ideas
    If you put a towbar on by a caravan and wrap it to match the car for then you'd have somewhere to stay at shows ?
    Or make it into a mobile workshop for Ben to go weld/fix things ??

    We’ve been using HVO for our Cranes and our fleet of Ballast wagons Which happen to be Scania V8’s and if you spill it on your self as you normally do it doesn’t smell like diesel virtually odourless

    • @EwanMarshall
      @EwanMarshall 2 дня назад +2

      That is because it is vegetable oil :D yeah, it's modified cooking oil. Scania's website says all their Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines will run on it also the V8s page says they run on it (that said, not sure if this applies to older scania V8s).

  • @lindsaycooper4010
    @lindsaycooper4010 2 дня назад +4

  • @CaptainNate12
    @CaptainNate12 2 дня назад +10

    Scania's that have Euro 6 engines can run on HVO, From what I remember your Scania is a 2013 R500 meaning its a Euro 5 engine. So You cant run the HVO fuel.

    those 2.0 tdcis make plenty of turbo noises with a backbox delete / straight pipe if that's what your into Tim. Plenty of videos on here of what they sound like. It's a commonly done mod to these cars as the backboxes are weak and fall off for fun 😂 Mondeo mk4 delete pipe is a direct fit, which you could easily mod into a side pipe from.
    Solid engines, happily do in excess of half million miles.
    S-Max is basically an identical car minus the rear end, so side skirts, splitters etc are easy to sort. Wheels are standard Ford 5x108 PCD, but make sure they are rated for the weight! Focus wheels for example fit fine, but are a big no no as they aren't weight rated for a Galaxy. You can also fit the convers+ clocks from a Mondeo / S-Max which are plug and play and just need milage correction if you want a nicer looking dash with a big LCD. There are also loads of Android radios available that are designed to fit perfectly, look OEM and be plug and play which support stuff like Apple CarPlay.

    That's brilliant how Ben already has his own hi-vis coat on ready to drive away in it 😂😂.
    Can you make a rule that every time you drive on a motorway past a DVSA site and there's a car waiting in the sliproad, you have to flick the beacons on as you drive past 🤣 And when you get the camera stickers, make sure you install front and rear dashcams 😏
    Hopefully Lombardos haven't cottoned on about your new purchase so you can sneak up on Shaun dressed in a hi vis, suit trousers and a hat carrying a clipboard when you pay them a visit 👍The look on his face will be priceless, after he's spat his brew across the office 😅

  • @SirMrDany
    @SirMrDany 2 дня назад

    The R can run on HVO. HVO is a synthetic diesel. No non-circular emision, still all the fun of a combustion engine. At least HVO100 has that. The number stands foe HVO percentage, HVO20 is 20% synthetic diesel, 80% normal. It really is the better way of making the transport sector more environmentally friendly without changing too much.
    Only thing is that HVO is more expensive. Mainly because the production just isnt scaled as big as it should be yet.
