If you drive a shared truck put a wet wipe around what looks like a clean steering wheel and see how much muck comes of it … then think about how often you wipe your nose and scratch yer nuts in a day then hold the wheel
The problem is the plastic coating has worn off leaving rubber underneath so yeah you do get a lot of rubbish come off the steering wheel but you never get rid of it. As Engineers don’t always have gloves on or it’s just a nightmare.
The wiper judder can be a couple of things. How old are they? The rubber becomes harder over time due to UV. Even if they still remove water fine they will judder. Not sure if DK Detailing has sealed your windscreen but certain products that aren’t designed for glass can affect how the wipers behave. I use H2go on my windows and don’t experience any wiper judder, but then again with a decent window sealant you won’t have to use your wipers as much.
Can i just say the last 2 years being a subscriber has been absolutly amazing to watch seeing how far you have come is crazy and helped me get through a really tough year for me with my depression thankyou tim for even giving me advice have a great christmas and new year bring on 2025
The new Volvos look like they got a thick bottom lip. And as for the pop and bangs I get it, but I hate it when ppl do it thru the middle town, especially when I got my dog cuz he hates it and so do many other dogs, plus vosa will be after you in your car next 😅 still nice GTR thou, thats what hard work gets ya!
Driving licence...gone the way of the window tints and pipes, drive. New channel, Trucker Helen with cab boy Tim. 😂 but it sounds absolutely awesome Timbo.
I know you don't have the gtr on the trailer that often but get some wheel protection or towels over the straps. Your be amazed how much them straps can rub on your wheels or arches
Great video, Tim! I love the upgrades on the GTR. I can’t wait for the full video on your other channel. Your face says it all about how excited you are with the upgrades.
Loving the video once again Tim! Collecting new Volvo Trucks; I personally don't like them that much, as they look a bit too ridiculous but I could be wrong. What an absolute beast of a car you now have, LitchField have done a great job on it and with a hefty price💀. One last thing, when are you going to feature the 4 series Scania and do stuff to it on the channel? I know that you have a lot on your plate at the moment but will we have the chance to see it being worked on etc etc in the new year? Have a lovely evening and can't wait once again for the next video!
Possible causes for rubbing, squeaking or rattling wipers can be: Wax residues or dirt on the windscreen weren't removed beforehand. New wipers haven't been adjusted properly after they've been changed. Older wiper blades with rubber that has already hardened no longer glide cleanly.
The Volvo gas engine system is ingenious. Besides gas you need to fill up diesel, and because the diesel also AdBlue. It also has a DPF. Don't we all love the most complex things to go wrong. Scania and Iveco just put sparkplugs in and the engine works with gas only , like a petrol engine.
@@halesworth01 A gas engine needs spark plugs to create a spark to ignite the gasoline and create the combustion stroke of the piston. A diesel engine has no spark plugs because it uses a compression ignition process. The cylinders in the combustion chamber have glow plugs that heat the chamber to aid ignition if a diesel engine is cold. “The difference in diesel is that diesel fuel doesn’t ignite. A spark plug has no use with diesel fuel because there is no need to ‘light’ the diesel fuel. Instead, the glow plug only heats the combustion chamber
@@medievelknevil8716 Are you mistakenly thinking the term 'gas' means the American for petrol? Tim is talking LPG or CNG (Liquid petroleum gas, or compressed natural gas) which is the same as Butane or Propane, and this can be ignited by the heat created within the combustion chamber of a diesel engine (once the engine is up to temperature by compression alone)
Awesome to see such a transformation to the GTR. What people like about those pops and bangs, I'll never know. It's just not my thing. But that car has been transformed to a proper BEAST! Good stuff !!
I wonder how many photos Tim stopped to take of his car on the back of the truck 🤷🏼♀️😂 and of course he was looking for every big shop or showroom with huge window panes so as to see his reflection. 😂😂😂
As for the gloves. Maybe the previous driver didn't use gloves for the pin and lines. So might have grease on the wheel. The gtr is amazing ❤ good luck with it. You deserve it mate.
Great job with the GTR, I had dump valves for a while but when I got my Cosworth I had them taken off as I loved the chatter more. Mine had 350bhp and 500lb torque. Miss my sapphire cosworth 4x4. Can't wait to see the GTR on your other channel.
LNG trucks only have a small tank. The pressure of the gas dictates the size of the tank. Maidstone council had 16 bin trucks. Their day work had to be cut down because of returning to depot to regal proved to be to impractical and expensive. They just could not wait to Finnish their contract and they wouldn’t sell them in the uk because of the extremely poor reliability. They were sold to a Spanish waste disposal company. Our workshop was really glad to see the back of them.
Wow what an absolute beast the GTR is now, absolutely gorgeous looking car, love the colour too, love the sound of it :) congratulations on an absolute beast of a car :) really hope to meet you one day tim, ive never been a truck fan until I found your youtube channel, now I want a scania v8 lol Enjoy the GTR you deserve it
Wanted to buy a trucker tim sticker with the truck on, sticker is £3.50 which is reasonable but why is postage £4.95 it only needs a 1st class stamp really, it costs like £8 odd to buy 1 sticker :( I'm gutted I really wanted 1
@ Most people I know who had their cars mapped so they popped and banged, are having that bit removed because they've grown up a bit and now feel embarrassed.
dont add spacers - use wheels with the offset you need to bring the wheel out to the arch spacers will increase the stress on the components, and also introduce more camber on the fronts.. and also back IF they also have independednt suspension and not a solid axel also - is your clutch rated to be ok with the torque? you might have to uprate the clutch friction plate/flywheel ... then brakes if you uprate one thing, you have to upright other things too... or something will scream... eventually
They only wear them blue practise glove so no finger prints. Lol. I absolutely love your channel and have a new love for trucks and trailers. And because of you I absolutely love t cabs I've only seen three in this country and get so excited when I do see them. When you getting yours and can I go for a ride along. Keep up.the great work and keep trucking my friend
Another amazing video Tim looking forward to the next one also was good to see you Monday Your truck is looking awesome same with the car I hope you and your family and your team have a good Christmas
Brilliant Tim some nice trucks GTR looks and sounds fantastic. Just needs some different wheels now brilliant lol the wipers on the truck WD40 on a rag great video.
@@andrewlaw Yeah you can imagine it pootling down the road and people stopping to turn and look at it and them thinking "wow thats nice" and then it starts farting pops n bangs out of its arse end, totally spoiling it altogether. I suppose the novelty will wear off soon.
If you've got any sort of spray wax or coating on your windows you'll need to do the wipers aswell to stop juddering. GTR is looking snd sounding incredible 🫶🏼🏴
Great video tim I recently had an interview at volvo yesterday so interesting timing with you going to volvo. But that is amusing going to volvo to collect volvos in a scania and the gtr it does sound good. Tho does that mean It might be tuned to 1200 horsepower in the future
Great vids trucker Tim, hope you achieve your goal of getting that t-cab and btw I spotted a mistake well not but kinda was one as you said Czechoslovak they are now 2 separate countries Czech republic which you saw and Slovakia
Because as a commercial driver with vehicles with over 1,000,000 miles on the steering wheels are down to nothing but absolute filth, we don’t have the luxury of beautiful trucks like you have.carl 🇬🇧
nice upgrade for your toy Tim and please don't take this the wrong way or though I do respect the GTRs there always going to be 2 cylinders short of a real car and compared to what they do to them in the States 670 is still stock power out there and they also bin them stock wheels and instead use double beedlocks on the cars they build keep up all your hard work
Try new blades as the cheapest option if the sounds still the same id suggest check the windscreen motor arms could need a service or replacing the motor arm
All i kept hearing was pop pop pop pop such a dirty sound a gtr makes definitly a huge step up from the m3 just seeing the suprise on your face great to see next we nead seans reaction think he might need brown trousers for that day 😂😂😂😂
4:52 that fella wasn’t waiting for anyone🤣
@@Alfredoooo1 proper bellend he was
I thought he was gonna clip the car, I cringed for a moment.
Love how happy the GTR made you! I was excited for you. Dream car and sounds unreal
1000%
Bloke rolling the straps up with the hook in the middle needs a clip around the ear 😂
Couldn’t agree more😂
Why
@@madmarty21 because when you throw the strap over a load the metal hook whips out and smashes into things.
Blokes on the deckers, all he has to do is drive and open the back doors 😂
OOhh - I hate that! Throwing a roll over with the hook still inside it is dangerous!!!
Ross seems like a real nice bloke !
Get that man a V8
Trucker Tim and Traffic, Two things that just seem to go together.
He needs to get up in the morning, instead of during rush hour 😂
@@StrayDog__Racing Same with any professional driver

Use alcohol wipes which are very good.

People wear gloves when driving because previous drivers didn't wear gloves for working or changing trailers...
I did some days as people smoked it there and it used to make your hands smell of fags 🤮
Trucker tim
My dad used to have to use dettol wipes when he was using different lorries because of clerts driving with work gloves on
Been waiting on the latest video on the other channel for ages, I haven’t seen you smile over pops n bangs since you straight piped the v8
Should have called me for the GTR collection! Decent collaboration that!
Great video again, Tim. That is some car you got now you are going to get the boys in blue after you
Someone I used to work with didn’t wear gloves to work but wore them to keep his spec lift clean whilst he was driving 👌🏻
Driving licence...gone the way of the window tints and pipes, drive.
New channel, Trucker Helen with cab boy Tim. 😂 but it sounds absolutely awesome Timbo.
In the Netherlands, a security company bought over 800 brand new Ford Transits. I have to get all of these ready, luckily you only have 2
I know you don't have the gtr on the trailer that often but get some wheel protection or towels over the straps. Your be amazed how much them straps can rub on your wheels or arches
Truckertim is the best truck drive I’ve ever seen I’ve always wanted to see him all my life
On Friday video Tim can I have a shout out my name is Harley
Great video, Tim! I love the upgrades on the GTR. I can’t wait for the full video on your other channel. Your face says it all about how excited you are with the upgrades.
i think you need some curtains for in the R series mate

Another Great Video Trucker Tim and Keep up the good work that you be doing all year round I love your your Videos
I remember when I first found one of your videos. You was riding a bike around Fareham whilst out on a job for DS. Look how far you've come!
Wow, what an amazing car.
I could hear that sound all day long...
Can't wait to see the full video on the GTR. Sounds so good now 👍
Lovely company to haul for. Genuine guy 👌🏻 Fit new wipers, problem solved 🤣
TIm i have an amazing idea if you can you should put V6YEA plate on the gtr to match your lorry
You need litchfeild mapping and app for your truck
New spoiler alloys and a bit of camber to make it absolutely really cool

No spark plugs in a diesel
Those cng engines are disigned as a cng engine and is not a conversion of any means!
@@medievelknevil8716 But Gas will be ignited by the spark plugs....but a diesel should have enough compression ratio (heat) to ignite the gas anyway)

The bar is now how they should be sounds amazing imo lol and bangs sounds silly but wow what a car well done
the 4k is so good please keep doing it. Love the vids as always timbo
Well done, Tim, reaping the benefits from all your hard work 🎉 👍👌
100% deserved, just keep the vlog's coming drive 👍

29:17 not sure but it might be the rubber getting stiffer and trying to stay in the same place which makes it bounce in your window
As for the gloves. Maybe the previous driver didn't use gloves for the pin and lines. So might have grease on the wheel. The gtr is amazing ❤ good luck with it. You deserve it mate.
Half an hour of the exhaust popping and banging will be fine for your next video 😊
Great job with the GTR, I had dump valves for a while but when I got my Cosworth I had them taken off as I loved the chatter more. Mine had 350bhp and 500lb torque. Miss my sapphire cosworth 4x4. Can't wait to see the GTR on your other channel.

Ah his little face at the end with the pops and bangs. 😁 Nice one Tim👍
Twist the wiper arms slightly to cure the scraping. Ben will know.
Great video as always Tim, the GTR sound incredible now, can't wait for a full video on that. Also, can't wait for an update on the S Series 😀
amazing video mate, that nissan looks and sounds fantastic, hope you are well
Lichfield is a great place to go. My neighbours GTR has been breathed on by them and has over 1000bhp….runs the quarter mile in it!
love that color ever since 2fast 2furious (silver with stripe bayside blue). And the OG R32. Bayside Blue!
Wow what an absolute beast the GTR is now, absolutely gorgeous looking car, love the colour too, love the sound of it :) congratulations on an absolute beast of a car :) really hope to meet you one day tim, ive never been a truck fan until I found your youtube channel, now I want a scania v8 lol

I'm gutted I really wanted 1
Ok, it's mostly fantastic BUT the pops and bangs are absolutely PANTS!
Pops and bangs maps are the worst. I'm all for a nice exhaust, but the banging on overrun just makes anyone sound like an absolute tosspot
Said no one 😮😅😂
@ Most people I know who had their cars mapped so they popped and banged, are having that bit removed because they've grown up a bit and now feel embarrassed.
Plod loves them as they give your rear end a great fisting!!!! While emptying your wallet and filling licence with points or seize the car or both.
100% agree. Just makes you the annoying chav who pisses people off going down the high st.
My mate had a litchfield 4.25, it was something else ❤ unless you’re mental you won’t need more than that!

if you uprate one thing, you have to upright other things too... or something will scream... eventually
Tim. Get a rigid with a tilt and slide bed. Do it in your colours!!
It's not about how fast it is, it's about how quick it gets there Tim👍👍👀
Tims fav thing is traffic
Tim ask DK Detailing to use some Bilt Hamber clay on your windscreen to remove contamination. It’s stops the rubbers dragging on the wipers. 👍👍
They only wear them blue practise glove so no finger prints. Lol.

The end of the video had me in stitches mate when you were taking it for a drive. Your like a little kid in a sweet shop 😂 brilliant buddy 👍
That annoying kid who upsets all the neighbours. GTR's sound awesome already, no need to put pops and bangs on it, it's not a Focus RS.

Saw the sneak peak in the live! Editing was pretty quick.

Awesome video and your car sounds EPIC!!!
Eco friendly for a non eco person! Perfect idea.

Great vid tim
The gtr is a beast
Them volvos look like jimmy hill from the side 😂
End of the video was class them pops and bangs are funny asf
17:54 there is literally 2 scanias coming out behind them
Great video as always Tim .. GTR Sounds awsome .
nice upgrade for your toy Tim and please don't take this the wrong way or though I do respect the GTRs there always going to be 2 cylinders short of a real car and compared to what they do to them in the States 670 is still stock power out there and they also bin them stock wheels and instead use double beedlocks on the cars they build keep up all your hard work
Great episode Tim and great sound on ur car 😊
Lets goo i open youtube and the first video is another trucker tim video👌👌
Tim you sound as happy like when the r series had it side pipe installed but yeah i miss the side pipe and black smoke but that is life i geuss
Try new blades as the cheapest option if the sounds still the same id suggest check the windscreen motor arms could need a service or replacing the motor arm
Great video upload Tim love watching all ur content and can't wait for the next upload Happy trucking Tim 😊
fantastic video tim.........but i can see you losing your licence in the gtr now......the temptation is going to be to much to resist lol
Spray WD40 onto a cloth and run the cloth up and down the blade half a dozen times, and the blades will run smooth.
4:26 you should definitely get a battery tender
