Nice diary, cheers for posting it.
Did you have any problems with the height of the trailer driving through Europe?
Not this time no , they never even gave it a second look at the Mont blanc , i must admit though it felt rather snug when entering some of the tunnels
Nice pics mate, I would love to get over onto the continent eventually, I love the look of the renault units aswel
thanks a nice selection of pictures along the route,cheers
just out of interest i thought a magnum that new would have been at least Euro 4 but you’ve got a Euro 3 sticker in the window?

The magnum and premiums have the volvo engine , in 07 it was up to the operator whether they bought euro 4 , or went for euro 5 at a higher cost but a reduced pollution certificate for road tax rebate , we have a 56 plate premium 450 with adblue which was the renault test motor and featured in the truck on trial in the truck mags badged as a euro 5 but is actually only euro 4 as it was ahead of its time and not quite compliant .
brilliant Diary mate, and excellent pics!!

Now there’s a question , im gonna have a punt at 2006 , like the one above fitted with the 480 dxi , maybe someone can clarify this ■■?
our 06 old shape premiums have the reno dci engine and the new shape 56 plates have the 440 dxi engine without adblue. is the 440 a euro 4?

I think the 440 dxi is euro 3 , and the 450 dxi premiums are either euro 4 or 5 >
