    I used to drive an ERF with an Eaton twin splitter for James Irlams (now part of Stobarts) The first time I jumped in I jumped straight back out and asked another driver "what do you do with that"pointing to the gear lever.he took me up the yard and showed me once how to use it and then I was on me own.I don't know how I didn't break it that first shift but after a few days I absolutely loved it!!!!

    Hi Chris. That D series is a ford. I used to drive one at a tool hire company it was a beaver tail. It had no power steering, turning it around in our yard I had to put my feet on the dashboard and pull the steering. Bloody hard work. Love your vids mate. Keep up the great work. Paul from Surrey

    • @kevinoakes1171
      @kevinoakes1171 Год назад +2

      Haha, yes!, I remember the D series Fords. The brakes where comical !, air over hydraulic, press the pedal to slow down……., nothing, press a little harder…. Nothing !,….. press more before you hit some thing and….., BOOM……!, ALL of the brakes, and you almost went through the windscreen. 😂😂😂. The Ford Cargo, which came after the D series was just as bad. Still better tHan than the Bedford TK to work on though, at least the Fords had a tilt cab. Fun times back then…, with lots of swearing. 😂😂

    Eaton twin splitter was a proper gearbox,only use clutch to pull away and stop then skills all the way.We had an 8 wheeler Iveco trakker that was actually a sedan Atkinson underneath good old truck. I drove it for two years round our way on muck away all hills and only missed a gear twice!! Like joe said if you didn’t catch it you was back to bottom of box and start again😮 I was only a youngster and there was loads of older drivers couldn’t drive it. My old man always said you had to be at one with any lorry but with the Eaton twin splitter you really had to be at one with the truck then and only then could you drive it well. My boys loved it she had an eminox exhaust and when you floored her a plume of black smoke would come out with little breaks in it when you changed gear 😂😂😂😂😂 they’d be hanging out the passenger window to watch it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 good old days 😂😂 another cracking video Chris whoop whoop 😂😂😂

    Not sure of the set up on these old ERF's bud I've had a 3 cylinder misfire on a scania with electronic injection. My understanding is "bank 1" is cylinders 1,2,3 "bank 2" is 5,4,6. One of the injectors had a dead short across the coil. To diagnose it I unplugged each injector 1 by 1 until the misfire went to a single cylinder instead of 3. Worth a shot if you're up there 1 weekend, keep on struggling chris! 👍
