Our 08 MAN has impressed, as had the Volvo FM (but probs with the FEs has ruled Volvo out now even though they’re Renaults with different badges) but no more have been ordered; like I’ve said before, I’d give an Axor a go or maybe the Volvo FMX; Re. Daf, I think they need a replacement for the Leyland, sorry, CF :blush:
Saw some Tarmac wagons up our way today Dave; they’re about a lot recently; One I saw said “Calvin ?” on sunvisor (Volvo FM), ring any bells with you?

Other way round - Renault cab on a Volvo :open_mouth:

Is the chassis Volvo then? We were under the impression the only things Volvo are the badges… :confused:
You wouldn’t know why you can only get the 7litre engine in the FE, whereas I’ve read Renault can get a 10 in it?

They are the same truck - badge engineering - We fit the 7 litre Deutz engine in the Premium the same as in the FE -our next engine is 11litre - all the axles,electrics,suspension etc are Volvo
What’s been the feedback on them?
