Looks like left in gear you have to find someone who can rebuild the air for you :?

Has it been left in gear and the air drained out? It it’s locked in gear with no air to shift to neutral the inhibiter won’t allow the engine to start.

Will it not start if you hold the key in the start position for 30 seconds?

Fancy leaving in gear... you will need air to build up clutch to get neutral. Then a simple start..

I had same problem with a DAF I used a tyre inflator to put air in tank. The problem was seals in gearbox lid.

If parked on a gradient, you may be able to roll it into neutral. Then start to build air up. I was lucky to make that work once on an MAN a few years ago.

:lol: :lol: do any of you know anything or are you just guessing? It’s not even in gear, if the tanks are that low on air it locks it into neutral.. there is a massive air leak on this lorry by the looks of it.. if it’s hooked up to a trailer it could be the trailer that’s causing this.. it could be a break chamber broken

but combine that with the fact it won't start and you get to everyother answer that it is locked in gear. :?
Yes there is probably a big air leak, but until you get it started or get some air into it, you will never find it.
Could have lost all it's air since being parked for a few days.

it probably is in gear. You can't see it in a static picture but high chance that N symbol is flashing so it "wants" to be in neutral, but isn't and can't be because no air left in thanks probably after being parked up

Open the front grill there should be a valve it’s got plastic cover on it you need to build air from there otherwise it will not work from tank doesn’t matter how much you do from air tank call me if you need more mate

Leave keys in on position as on the photo for more then 3min , then gearbox should automatically reset to N position and you will can start.
Always every lorry has emergency procedures.
3 min minimum keys on.

Get an air hose, pop the grill where you’ll find air valves. Use one of the tyres to build up the system with air. What you’ve got in the tyre, it’s enough for the system so you can start it up. It worked for me many years ago. Once you’ve started the truck you’ll have to sort out the tyre as well what you’ve used.
