my dads 2 guys ,■■■■■■■ 205 and 6 speed boxes, bought to replace the unreliable scania 80 in the photo on his kilmarnock night trunk.tony
Hiya,
Olay and I thought I was the only driver (retd) in the whole wide world
who thought the Scania 80 was crap.
thanks harry, long retired.I have a feeling that a certain member of the ■■■■■■■ Mafia, may be paying you two a visit shortly
It was the worst scania i’ve ever known, the rev counter packed up first on the way to its first service, after that you had to stop every 15 miles or so to let it cool down. Scania hadn’t got an answer and david abbotts scani 80 was going well. Eventually it was found that it had sat around for 6 months or so before we bought it and the rad was clogged.
Too late really, the guy/■■■■■■■ combo won the day and my dad over. He did buy a 110 years later though but it was always ■■■■■■■ 1st with him.
Hiya,
I came off an Atki with a 220 ■■■■■■■ to the Scania 80 what a shock
to the system on it’s maiden voyage a flexie fuel pipe burst repaired
myself with bits I purchased from a nearby motorcycle shop earlier I
had to locate the vent hole in the filler cap, (painted over) the tank
had sucked in by the time I’d got to my brekkie stop. Finally I got to
Dover dropped my trailer and attempted to pick up my backloaded
tilt for home “Bang” a halfshaft snapped which on examination by the
boffins was proven to be metal fatigue. I did on my own initiative
get the rig home Dover to Blackburn using the difflock.
thanks harry, long retired.
