Another excellent video John O, hopefully the boss will sort you out with a newer truck soon even though your old truck is ok, there’s always the feeling of going backwards! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 🙂👍🚛
Can see you are down ,but you are trying your best,you are made of sterner stuff than me I could not face all those narrow lanes you go down as always a great vlog.
Hi John o how are you doing ? I always remember building up the air pressure on the Volvo B10Ms & low pressure gauge never sounded as loud as your scraped DAF. But I I’m a massive fan of the buses 🚍 I use to work on including the Volvo Citybuses which I thought were also brilliant Pal. 👍👍
Ello drive! the head gasket saga continues...I reckon initial problem cooked the o-rings that seal the liners to the block...now when she gets hot she lets the coolant past lowering the liner away from the head gasket....making it look like a head problem...If ya get bored on a night out western truck and tractor repair with Warren Rogers over in the states....hes rebuilt dozens of em.well worth a watch.Keep up the good work fella.
Great Monday catch up just in and have to go out again hoping sleet won’t turn to lying snow here.Hope the pumpkin has been turned into a carriage by now.😊😊 a.ok xx Have a safe and happy week and kind regards to your other half.
Hi John-o, going past the school in Axminster bought back memories of the Chideock hill run 😂😂, I was about as welcome as a hole in the head to those school run Mums, the last bit between the walls is the worst stretch😳 have a good week
@TruckerJohno in an 8 wheeler I would have struggled to get around that junction behind the pub, going around the corner by the church in Chard was a challenge as it was😳
When first read your title thought you were saying good bye but when started talking knew you where not , .... .glad about that good video as always John o
Hi Johno great video time to say goodbye to that truck did I see you unloading at a farm near totnes last Friday you were unloading in the road keep up the good work 👍👍
DAF trucks lots of problems with head gasket and ECU problems has well John bing a retired international truck driver having driven from the the old 2800 daf 1985 through too Leyland DAF trucks 🚒 .. just saying the nicest thing about DAF is the bed 🛏️ great video 💯📸 john
It's not a maintenance issue numpty it's a fault with the truck that has happened during my week out, I've nursed it back then swapped into a different truck, daf aid won't do a head gasket on a call out 🙄
@TruckerJohno thats a problem, because you can't just pull the fuse on the dash, maybe there's something in editing software somewhere that can silence it after a few rings?
You should have a Google and see if the newer truck is "known" for head gasket issues, or else let another mechanic have a go, maybe youtibes own Chris Allen could fix it properly
John-o: "I mostly do microwave meals, it's quicker and easier"... Wasn't it you I watched a couple of years ago frying burgers in a grill pan on your catwalk, using a portable gas hob? You're getting lazy in your old age mate!
I do enjoy cooking but it's just getting the time to do it, I've wasted food coz I just haven't had the time or it's been raining, I won't fry stuff in the cab as it stinks for days

Can see you are down ,but you are trying your best,you are made of sterner stuff than me I could not face all those narrow lanes you go down as always a great vlog.
I wouldn't say down, just tired of the truck playing up
Another great video John o mate more tight lanes in your new old truck 😂😅😊
Yeah always down the lanes
A very good Tuesday morning to you sir
Thanks
Locals look like hard work, Take care,
Na it's not too bad
Hopefully you get a shiny new rig, with more LEDs! :D

Yeah the alarm on the DAF is quite obnoxious
@@TruckerJohno aye you can say that again for sure. I hope you have good week in your truck 🛻 whatever part of the country you’re in Pal. 👍
Recognise so much of your route today John. Hang in there man.
Thanks you

A lemon DAF, how apt since DAFfodils are often yellow. Another great video John, thanks.
Thanks
Hi John-o, going past the school in Axminster bought back memories of the Chideock hill run 😂😂, I was about as welcome as a hole in the head to those school run Mums, the last bit between the walls is the worst stretch😳 have a good week
Yeah safer to go around during school run
@TruckerJohno in an 8 wheeler I would have struggled to get around that junction behind the pub, going around the corner by the church in Chard was a challenge as it was😳

No was my truck that is going goodbye 😁
Hi Johno great video time to say goodbye to that truck did I see you unloading at a farm near totnes last Friday you were unloading in the road keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks, no that wasn't me
DAF trucks lots of problems with head gasket and ECU problems has well John bing a retired international truck driver having driven from the the old 2800 daf 1985 through too Leyland DAF trucks 🚒
.. just saying the nicest thing about DAF is the bed 🛏️ great video 💯📸 john
Yeah it has the best cab as well I think
Hi johno pity about your truck hpe you get something sorted chin up
Ah I'm fine 🫡
Passed a Cains farm truck heading south of Hereford last Tuesday great refined livery
Wouldn't have been me, glad you like the trucks
Fingers crossed 🤞 your boss get you a lovely new truck 😊
Well not brand new but another second hand 1 day, no rush
@TruckerJohno he should take you with him to buy a lovely new second hand truck would you agree 👍
They will buy something plain and put bits on it anyway
@@TruckerJohno what year would you like
I'm not fused so long as it all works and is in good condition
Top vlog buddy
Thanks
Hi johno great video mate as always you might get a new xg daf 😊
I doubt it
@TruckerJohno 🤣🤣
What a professional company Just keep topping it up ? Makes you wonder what other maintenance is been skipped ..
It's not a maintenance issue numpty it's a fault with the truck that has happened during my week out, I've nursed it back then swapped into a different truck, daf aid won't do a head gasket on a call out 🙄
😂@@TruckerJohno
Liners probably dropped in the block due to corrosion/oxidation.
Also they could be corroded through.
Possibly
Another ace video John. Shame about S555. Anyway , onwards & upwards. I wonder what will be your next permanent truck ?
Who knows, time will tell
See can you find the speaker making the beep and disconnect the wiring if its not soldered on or easily accessible
I think they are soldered to a board in the dash
@TruckerJohno thats a problem, because you can't just pull the fuse on the dash, maybe there's something in editing software somewhere that can silence it after a few rings?
Nothing that won't disrupt the rest of the audio
@TruckerJohno just cut it after three rings so
Epic 😎
Thanks
At this stage if they don't find a warped or cracked head, i think its the spare parts bin for that one
Yeah it's being parted out
Dropped liner, heard it is a common DAF engine problem. It would bankrupt an owner driver.
Yeah I've herd this a lot but was a bit too inconsistent to be that i think
😢
👍👍
What price new engine ? .Is she worth it.
She's cost too much already so not financially viable
The only thing is your stay brighter on your other daf mate
Wheel,s mate
They was a bit scratched up but over all in better nick
The head is probably warped or cracked or they're using a really cheap head gasket
No the head was skimmed and was a daf head gasket think the block is knackered
You should have a Google and see if the newer truck is "known" for head gasket issues, or else let another mechanic have a go, maybe youtibes own Chris Allen could fix it properly
Ah it is what it is
@TruckerJohno probably better off cutting your losses
John-o: "I mostly do microwave meals, it's quicker and easier"...
Wasn't it you I watched a couple of years ago frying burgers in a grill pan on your catwalk, using a portable gas hob? You're getting lazy in your old age mate!
I do enjoy cooking but it's just getting the time to do it, I've wasted food coz I just haven't had the time or it's been raining, I won't fry stuff in the cab as it stinks for days
Disconet the wire to the bleeper
Not that simple it's soldered to a board
