Use two cards instead of a magnet, much easier. 
You’ve supposedly just left one job because it’s not worth the risk to use two cards so I don’t think you are up to using a magnet, unless you think £5000 fine and 2 years imprisonment is a risk worth taking?

Well, honestly, if anybody could point to one single advantage of the eastern Europeans arriving here then I would be prepared to listen to their thesis.There just isn’t one.
Google Tomasz Gollob, Jarosław Hampel or Piotr Protasiewicz then!
The greatest speedway riders of recent times, there are lots more, lots more than Britain are capable of producing.

Fit women plus a lot better, more pleasant, friendlier service in coffee shops, bars and restaurants. That’ll do for me.

You started it, so you can’t complain when some of it blows back at you!!
Dogtanian:
Whats the best type of magnet to use?
The best type of magnet is a magnetic one with lots of magneticness.
Dogtanian:
And where do you get it from?
Magnets are easily obtained from shops that sell magnets.
Or you can get them cheaper from the 
Internet Magnet Shop
Dogtanian:
Where exacatly do you put it?
Magnets can be put it on quite a few metallic surfaces, but not aluminium.

What dose the sender unit look like?
The sender unit looks a little bit like a unit that sends things somewhere, I think.

I can’t draw diagrams cos I’m just a thick lorry driver, so I couldn’t help you with that. Sorry.
It really looks like VOSA’s training budget has been cut still further.
Either that, or we need a new sign…
The use of a magnet is like the discovery of penicillin.
One fella must have discovered this by chance and a few years later everyone is doing it! Quite amazing if you think about it

if someone wants to run bent, then so [zb]in what. it dosn’t harm anyone.they are introducing a new tachograph to combat this.
it has probably cost the EU a small fortune in development.
but it can be sorted with 1 magnet and 2 switches, instead of just a magnet.the only way to combat tachograph fraud, is to do away with tachographs.
I love the last line and agree holeheartedly. The tacho is a man made rule in a corporate world. Why an Englishman constantly feel’s the need to obey is beyond me.
OP,maybe the driver knew the warehouse you work at is using truck’s as mobile warehouse’s and simply but it on the bang to avoid unnecessary lost time .

Well, only those competing in the same market who like to sleep occasionally or have some kind of a social life.
The sensor is a magnetic device. It sends a pulse signal to the ECU every time a specific point on a rotating ferrous part in the transmission passes the sensor, which translates it into the speed at which that part of the transmission is rotating at, and thus correlates to the vehicle’s road speed. ABS sensors work pretty much the same way, as do cam/crank position sensors on engines. Putting a magnet near the sensor stops it from reading, and thus, the tacho think’s you’re stationary.
Never done it miself though, never needed to, I’m not hard working enough to want to run bent!
A colleague of mine once showed me his magnet. It was the side of a black-jack sweet. He demonstrated it to me by sticking it to the door of his truck. It was so powerful, he couldn’t remove it without pushing it to the edge of the door, leaving a nasty scratch in it’s wake! I did chuckle.
I could have done with a magnet just like that though. Yesterday, whilst fixing some guttering, I dropped a large screwdriver down the sodding drain pipe and needed to recover it so it didn’t block up the pipe. I spent half an hour fishing it out with a coat hanger

But magnets and other similar tricks are all part of a manner of working which means Mr. FlipFlop’s company can do the work for less and/or faster, and so, take business away from straight and honest hauliers.
what a joke 
so it’s the “flipflops” only using the magnet then? I’d say a good 95% of the “flipflops” I know would not dare to use it, as the fines associated will be enough to put them off using magnets for a lifetime. a colleague got done at the poitiers peage for €4000 last year for only a suspicion of using a magnet, the evidence being some missing kilometers and nothing else. the reason being getting caught out in a snowstorm and wanting to spend the weekend in a routiers as opposed to a layby.
see many dutch, spanish and portuguese using it all the time, but it’s not as intrigueing to blame them of anything now is it.
They don’t work on plastic, so no use on model trucks. They won’t float either, so no use as a life saver if your truck gets stuck in a flood. Don’t use them folks! Can you imagine if a pilot landed his aircraft just to use a magnate to fiddle their flying hours.

if hes fitting a magnet to the gearbox its coz he`s running bent which to me justifies grassing him up
only one place for ■■■■■■■■ and that’s the firing squad.

china, or me. i buy in bulk from the chinks.
don’t put it on the shaft, put it in the bit where the spanner goes on the sender unit.

Yes, obviously, the only people who use magnets are the ones who wear flip flips.

Well it can’t be people who wear safety boots, they would have problems with the magnets and the steel toe-caps.

a good strong but small magnet around 20mm x 10mm (from likes of b&q)
Where exacatly do you put it? What dose the sender unit look like?
the sender unit is usualy just above or very near to the propshaft output flange on the rear of the gearbox. it is the only plug that shud have lock wire around it. it will be around 60mm & sticks out further than anyother sensor on the gearbox. if you have a 95 without a catwalk extension you can see the sender unit when standing facing away from the truck looking down at the gearbox & on the catwalk

place the magnet on the metal end of the sensor. so not the plastic plug that screws on. place the magnet as close to the gearbox as you can when on the sensor
alough the magnet has been around for a while our european drivers tell me that the europeans are now using mobile phone top up cards or pay phone top up cards as the chips are in exactly the same position. i dont no the exact ins & outs of this one yet though. ill work on it
