Make regular checks of the tyres on your trailer or truck. These tyres are under exceptional load and often wear unevenly, so make sure that you check the inside and the outside of the tyre for bulges, flat spots or damage to the walls.
There is currently no legislation that stipulates the maximum height for a trailer. Clearly, the higher your trailer relative to the track of its wheels, the more unstable it will be. Go too high and you will strike a bridge!
Had a fright today when I got back from a long run in the Sprinter 308d. Turned the key off in the ignition and it just kept running! Of course its a diesel so once it is running they will just keep going until they run out of fuel or have the fuel supply cut off. What could be causing this?...View Entire Thread
