I can hear why you thought it was an 07 at first, definitely sounds like it has a little exhaust leak. Has both 07 and 08 character when it moves between bins ey! Listen to it going at 5:20 and from the bin after that, bloody awesome :D Cool that the truck still lives on, maybe not split anymore, but it's got the tailgate telltale still, would've been epic if it had the original lifter too, but that's only in dreams today.
Sounds bloody like an 07 Acco ahah! Definitely goes like one too, pretty big step back compared to the their newer trucks I reckon. The sound was mad, could really hear the engine going especially at 7:10. Yeah, to find the original lifter would have been a bonus I reckon! Would have had the other VIC boys perhaps jealous?
That's the spare truck #1810, mainly for recycle because it has the tick on the side, but when break downs & truck services occur it'll be used for any of the 3 collections where applicable.
I see, I gathered that it might have been a spare truck cause when I rode passed the yard one of the newer Recycle trucks was parked up. Cheers for the info

It's actually 08 model acco. You can tell by the unit number 1810.
Ah right, wasn't too sure! Cheers

Update: this truck is now used for garbage
Nice one. Quick question why dose it pick up the normal bins an't they green waste.
They are the old recycling bins.
Oh ok they need new lid replacement.
is this in the riverina?
Isnt this an 09 as im sure 07 had the iveco written in between the grill.
Probably is an 09, yes, I know what an Euro3 Acco cab looks like
***** thought so asvup to 08 it was a different grill
Nothing like a loose bolt on the flexie pipe clamp or a hole in the flexie pipe.
Sounds good!
