Spot the defect:

I would say the wheel bearing myself on this one Lol. Also seen this when the brakes stick on and melt them.

BUT ITS THE WHEEL BEARING.

Cheers Peter

It was a seized caliper. Vehicle brought in for MOT, tester logged on vehicle came back out and found this.

just a little one from me, in for inspection, driver didnt realise his tyre had gone bang at some point, same vehicle also needed 17 litres of engine oil !!! :open_mouth:

Glad I don’t share a motor with that COPYRIGHT fella

Anywhy. It shows how good the Foden pulled. miss em

Bit of an eye opener. I expected to see something with some serious defects and a proper man’s load. Bloody Afrikaans, pull you over for nothing. I reckon limeyphil would have got through with that. :wink:

After viewing the Wheel Nuts & Studs on the Scania in the Trucks In Africa Link, thought you might want to see a few pics from the UK on the defects subject.


10 of 10 wheel nuts loose

Trailer disc brake totally failed

Failed Centre Bearing

Insecure trailer brake chamber, brake does not function

Totally worn out tyre

Hmm, that centre bearing just looks like it needs a bit of grease, it will be as good as new…

Boss I have a tyre needs cutting :laughing:

Lovely pictures. Ready for a hard work…

Nice pics :slight_smile: got anymore ?

100’s


Failed Trailer Brake Chamber

Trailer Brakes not working, shoes & mounts broken Rollers have come out of place
Drawbar trailer, brakes so out of adjustment that they dont work

Excessive engine oil leak, from a failed oil pipe

Blown out inner tyre (driver knew) axle is also overloaded

Interesting stuff :stuck_out_tongue: any chance of a little description of what the problem is ? :stuck_out_tongue: for us stupider drivers :blush:
Some of them kinda hard to figure out whats what from the photo :stuck_out_tongue:
