But SKs had the modified NG cab with the ‘ironed out’ quarter-light window and a better appointed interior. They also came with more modern engines (no problem there) and - this was the defining characteristic - EPS transmission. EPS was truely awful, as described in this forum on legion threads.It seems to be only in the Powerliner 2 where it became standard fit ?.I guess ours must have been at the cut off point of Powerliner 1 where proper shift was still available.
No, no. Firstly EPS was only standard fit on right-hand drive, our continental cousins had to pay extra for it. RHD Powerliner 1s all left the factory with EPS on a ZF 'box, Powerliner 2 got the new Mercedes in house 'box with the actuators inside the housing. EPS again was standard fit on RHD it was however a delete option, rarely taken; F Edmondson from Morecambe however did to my knowledge have a number (15?) 1838 G cabs with manuals, they were described as like stirring a suet pudding.
