We have recently bought a Daf LF 02 reg but so far haven’t worked out what the long thin stalk is that sticks up on the left side of the steering wheel.Its not marked with any thing so what does it do■■?
Cheers :smiley:

exhaust brake?

IIRC, it is the steering column adjusting stalk

My dad tried it and it didn’t do anything.

It seams a bit flimsy,its the one that sticks up??

6

if its bent then it will be the exhaust brake

7

its the exhaust brake mate, common fault if its not working, they sieze up! :laughing:

8

It’s the switch for the exhaust brake.

They don’t take much to snap off either.

■■■■, and the guy in the Harley shop said the bling ashtray he sold me would be perfect, mounted above the handlebars along with the king sized cup holder :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Its an auto exahust brake IF the lights on the dash are working (rare on a Daf) you will see a black circle ona yellow background come on when you brake.

Cheers :smiley:

ever thought of going past a DAF dealer and asking what it is for ? or is that far too obvious a solution ?

Nah,far too obvious mate. :open_mouth: :smiley:

Its in the manual but I still couldn’t sort out mine. I assume its broken as it makes no difference to the drive and I get no dash lights.
