As for your scania, I regularly drive one locally but its only a 420 straight 6 but its a nice truck. The 14 litre in yours must make quite a difference. What are you going to do for next year then to comply with the LEZ?

hi Clive ,the f12 i had was one of the last to be built and had only 1 owner before me the driver would not let anyone in the cab it was
like new still had the plastic on the headliner and had half leather seats.i sold it to buy a 2 year old 144,530 topliner.the F16`s were
suposed to be trouble some but i wouldn`t say no to one.as for the LEZ i don`t know what to do, not realy enough work to warant a
new scania (£100,000) for a 620 6x4 unit :doh: :doh: my 144 has only 650000 k`s and i have had it from new.any unit i look at has
6-800000 k`s so all you would be doing is buying someone else`s trouble.go on the dole seem that`s what they want you to do :dizzy:
