I think you refer to the Forward Control British Truck in Green and Yellow and I think it is a Leyland. The only left hand drive vehicles here in trucks would be dual control meaning sterring on both sides and that would not be so in the truck you refer to. A lot of the Jap trucks can be dual control.

(y) :D Thank you. I wonder what Cummins it has in it ? Sounds interesting.
I have heard from a few people I know within Cummins that some of my ideas have since been copied.
May I correct you on the spelling of Castlemaine :beer:

WOW.....I did not believe this would become a collectors item so quickly.
 
I am presently building a new workshop or I should say extending the present one. If you know the Garage Journal Forum (sister forum to the HAMB) look it up on that site.
 
:roll: :unsure: Air Con system has dropped all the gas refrigerant again. This time I will have to get it filled with nitrogen to find the leak. :devilish:
 
About ready to test the Air Con system for the 5th time with Nitrogen. One of those things I can not do myself as you have to have qualifications to do this. Shows you need to choose wisely who makes up and installs for you. The same firm let me down on a few other things as well.
I have had to re crimp and replace fittings in the whole system.

On a more cheerful note http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7X1u8n5Ppg about the 3 min 45 mark you can see the truck leaving the Castlemaine Truck show this year (2013).

Finally the F4 has been re released on the Biscuit tin. Was so popular last time.

You mean nitrogen is a controlled substance in OZ? I'd think they would let you test it, make the repairs then let the other guys charge it.

Yes Nitrogen is the best way to test an Air Con system for a leak and no it is not controlled. I could do the test myself but then I have no further use for a bottle of Nitrogen as that is the only controlling factor. Easier to let those qualified test it and find the leaks then I just do the hard work.

5th test will be tomorrow now. Hopefully we can then re gas it. :)
 
Working again at last. Can only blame poor workmanship by the qualified ( :devilish: Seriously is he qualified) installer.
 
Also of interest both tow vehicles for that trailer are inline 6 powered as the other vehicle I use is the 1969 International 4x4 truck.
