Daf xf 95 480

Pansie Division:
Sorry to hi jack the thread, but it is relevant.

I hear the dads have head problems? And a lot you do see for sale have been recently rebuilt. Some at as low as 3-400k.

My question is are they a solid choice? And what causes the head problems?

We will be looking for something to move cabins and some plant so will probably be looking for something around the 500hp range.

that would be on the MX engine if it is the head itself, and it is the later XF105 series with the MX engine

if you are referring to the head gaskets, that is the earlier engine in the XF95, but, once the head gaskets have been done, that is it, not heard of any issues with the actual head on the XF95, although, a small crack appears on the rear of the head where one of the bolt holes is situated, but, that is not a problem, no need to change the head for that
