Broke down last week near Leicester. Crouch recovery came to help via the AA from the hard shoulder to the service station.
When arrived on the service station my driver noticed that all 4 rear trailer threes where smashed.
Recovery driver says is not he’s fault as he done all the connections properly, called at their office said their truck is fine.
So how come the trailer worked fine before breakdown? We changed the tyres and sent another tractor unit for the collection and worked just fine.
Sent the tyres bill to the AA but wouldn’t recommend Crouch recovery to be fair.

Does anyone know of a training provider who can deliver HGV mechanic refresher training? Our mechanic has over 30 years' experience but could do with a brush-up! Particularly for DAF autos...

Hi guys,
My maintance provider let me down few time and I need one of my truck to get fixed tomorrow.
I'm going to ask a new garage to fix my vehicle tmr should I inform tc about it?

I have a 15 plate 520 Scania with a recurring problem. In the last 6 months on 3 occasions it shudders and vibrates when taking off empty or or with a load, this lasts for say 3 days and then seems to clear itself, went to Scania the 1st time it happened who gave it a good check, even manually measuring the clutch (like new they said ), its a Opti cruise gearbox, anybody had this problem before?

Hi all, looking for your knowledge please - owner driver located in NI wants to do his own 6 week checks and maintenance. He has a suitable sized shed with a pit, etc but it is located in southern Ireland (10 minutes drive from operating centre) can he do this or must he have done some sort of training course? He is competent just has no qualification.
Thanks.

Has anyone had any experience of MOT testers refusing to test trailers with palm couplings, we operate a fleet which is on palm couplings and have no problem in two areas but in Warrington for some reason the tester has said they can’t test.

Hi,
Would this be classed as a minor cut or straight replacement needed?
Thanks

2021 Scania has inoperable cruise control. The cruise control identifier doesn’t even appear in a greyed out format (circled). Any ideas? The exhaust brake is off. The message reads “Make cruise control available” but how? 🤔

Need a little help any Iveco boffins. In a 71 plate Stralis, radio has no sound. Head unit turns on and works as it should, connects phone etc etc, but no sound at all through any speakers. Any ideas? Checked the setting on head unit, not on mute etc.
TIA

Failed laden brake test
Hey guys,
What is the correct procedure after failed laden brake test of the tractor unit? Clearly during the test truck has to connected to the loaded trailer so that's kind of tricky what to do with this load(trailer), after the failed result of the test.
I guess its big NO for driver to continue and deliver the load or come back to base with it or just get to the workshop as soon as possible, even if its only few miles away?
Thanks!

Any HGV mechanics tell me my Volvo is doing this I’ve changed compressor, air dryer, filters, pipe work, both sensors in the coffin boxes under the bonnet. Volvo can’t seem to find the problem and I’m starting to lose the will to live with it 1800 lighter and still f**king beeping it has plenty of air and releases all brakes just air Gauge does what it likes..

Does anyone had this error code in Renault T460? Left deepen beam light malfunction. Replaced bulb, checked all fuses and still no light. Right headlight work ok. Is it faulty relay or headlight control unit?

Hello all,
Currently going through adding a safety inspector to our operators license and has made me have a thought. Do we need to add the ATF Lane's or DVSA who carry out the vehicle MOT's to this section also as well as fitter's/dealers etc.
I know they aren't carrying out a PMI or defect rectification but they are technically inspecting the safety of the vehicle therefore would be a safety inspector & since the option literally says 'add safety inspector' it got me thinking.
Any feedback on this would be great.
Thanks

Can anyone recommend a maintenance provider somewhere near Woolwich Docks, London?

I have just been informed, that apparently, the TC requires the maintenance providers address on the PMIs.

We have a free lance mot tester around here, who we can hire to come into our garage to do mot’ he is qualified to test our class of vehicle (class 5) are we allowed to use him in our garage to do our mot? Or does it have to be a DVSA guy?

Hi all, looking for a general collective response to a question I have been asked. I have my own thoughts and implemented a system for a client recently, although mainly stick with main dealer maintenance providers.
How do you ensure maintenance staff are adequately qualified and competent.
Explain how they keep up to date with modern vehicle design and systems.

If a PSV has an MOT due date and an 8-week Inspection date within a couple of days of each other, can the two be completed at the same time or do they need to be different entities? Does the issuing of an MOT certificate cover the 8-week inspection or do I need a separate 8-week, Inspection sheet? Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Is there any decent workshops in Bristol location that can do our PMIs and Brake Testing?

I have a client who insists this vehicle doesn't need a crash bar/rear under run as he classes it as a tipper. The vehicle is a 26T 6×2 and has been modified from a drop side to a tipper in his own work shop. Would I be right in saying it isn't type approval and would need a crash bar/rear under run. (Apart from the fact it looks like a death trap)
