Back In G16! (Well Until It Broke Down Again…)

[@samuelgoddard5248]

it's a good experience to have a truck that un reliable as it makes you think about how to be prepared for that situation when you go solo. cause being a one man band you can't just jump straight into another truck generally.

[@SunnyD1865]

One positive (if such a thing exists) to breaking down is that we get to see that lovely Foden again 😅

[@sniggs101]

That is a lovely Foden, on a V plate too, old school leading the new generation trucks. They don't build them like that any more, such a shame, I miss my old man's 2800 DAF cattle truck, it was a beast

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Luke, poor no traffic officers stopped to check you were ok in 5 hours its meant to be a monitored emergency refuge area. Glad you got recovered safely ,shame it was not me this time.

[@KevinRodgersGB]

I believe Malcolm now has an updated version of his book with 6 new chapters on things to do, to pass the time, when broken down.

[@AndyWoodger]

"The Kerb King"........That was a 1999 Foden......1999!!! (Sounded pretty good as well!) 23 years old and was reliable enough to pull G16 loaded!

[@mickboakes7023]

Bloody Hell Luke what a day. Can only get better. They fixed that well didn’t they. Can’t believe you sat there in the emergency pull off that amount of time without a visit from plod or the highway patrol. They’ve got that sorted. To busy chasing motorists with a stop light bulb out. Stay safe Mick.

[@sallymurray2147]

Hi luke poor you broke down again glad you managed to get another truck sorted glad you were OK on the motorway I am surprised no one came to see if you were alright though

[@thomasgarwell8214]

I absolutely feel for you Luke, and to be stuck there for virtually most of the day. For me, its an hour short of a full day's office work. Don't know where you were stuck, but when if you could, you could either go on the A34, which runs nearly parallel to the M6 on your right heading north, or on the A49 which takes you to Warrington, and then not far to Wigan on your left. But for half an hour, you're correct, stick to it :) :) :)

[@stes2786]

Pasted me today mate on the m55 did not think I would see you in Blackpool. Started watching a few of the road legends a few years ago sat in a security hut. Had the opportunity to gain class 1 license a few years ago straight onto tramping for a in house company been all over Poole, Thurso around England wales Scotland. Now delivering bread in the mornings in a bright orange ridge good money home everyday for the kids. Keeps safe 👍

[@tijslegebeke7684]

we have had that problem with about 7 dafs already, all of them had the same problem, the rubber that holds and removes the vibration form the computer hardend up and caused the computer to fail, resulting in every single warning on the dash

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Hi Luke how are you doing ? I watched your vlog yesterday but didn’t leave a comment till now. But thanks for the unscheduled blog when your truck broke down. So thanks for the vlog very much appreciated Pal. 👍

[@BritishTrucking]

OMG that was a long day Luke I bet you were glad to hit your bunk after all that! great vlog Luke 👍

[@darrenFN3K12]

honestly mate its yourself and Jay’s vlogs i look forward too each week though Jay isn’t uploading as much which is fair enough, its busy on the road. anyway, keep safe, drive safe & keep that turbo whistling 💪🏻

[@cbeuck5024]

One important "thing" from this was the SOS laybye. Great idea for Aus where there are great distances and patchy phone reception.. we have pull over bays (Could have many more) Sat phones/solar panels ??? would be a asset in case of accident and or breakdown. Sadly the vandals would be an issue as would the litter bugs. Jan Adelaide

[@stephenwilkinson2030]

I thought originally SMART motorways had refuges every half mile, it was then changed to every mile by the government as a cost saving, I could be wrong though. Take care on that road Luke. 😉

[@coopa2002]

It's every 500-800m for smart motorways and up to 1.5 miles on normal motorways, I wonder if it's a slight deviancy in standards there. It's important to note that the government ceased building smart motorways in Jan 2022 for the foreseeable future due to safety concerns, and will look into it again after 5 years of safety data is available.

[@leprechaunshelper]

Good old Foden to the rescue! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@martynroach182]

Come on Luke, a shout out for the old Foden, almost a classic mate!

[@truckingnat99]

I feel for you I have broken down before it's not nice but good video that gives a good insight into what can happen as a driver

[@paulswart4265]

Here in Netherlands we have quick response team to clear the motorways asap, they'll take you to next possible location for repairs or pickup like you had. But here that'll be done in 30 min. And a different type of video??? I've seen several (older) videos of you breaking down ... Anyways, hope it turned out for the best.

[@tobcalmum74]

I know what it is like waiting for recovery. Had a double puncture and had to wait 6 hours to be recovered.

[@ttbko]

the wisdom about smart motorways escapes me completely

[@rodhewson]

I was interested in the recovery, the wrecker picked up the front axle of the tractor and was able to tow the whole rig, what would they have done if the gearbox was stuck in gear? Or the transmission seized?

[@lukecinahgv]

They take to drive axle out

[@darenwilson1120]

That was a good watch mate 👍

[@edwardmccallum8390]

Great video again luck having some bad times with that truck you should be fine we the other one mate 👍

[@danieltarr6183]

What the song tune called what you used for your main intro. Just wondering as I like it and it gets glued into my head every time I hear it

[@liamtrimby8925]

Luke C tell your boss to get the new DAF XF mirrorless one it would be good for your channel. And it will be nice to see you in a new truck. And I know annoying broken down again in G16 nothing to do but wait for the recovery.

[@matthewburrows2768]

Mine lasted 3 days so the outlook for the new generation isn’t good!!!! Does drive nice and the materials used have improved

[@jon.l7961]

Hi Luke, what a frustrating day. Just wandering could you use POA ? How would that effect your start and finish time and breaks etc.

[@TheThejpmshow]

I’ve seen a few Harry and Sons wagons on the road Never seen you though Luke I’ve seen Scott Andrews, KevTee I’m clearly not looking in the right places, lay-bys!

[@ammo_7592]

Hi where did you get your sunglasses from please?

[@nigelcox1451]

Another breakdown, with similar symptoms. 1. Similar failure, but unrelated. 2. ECU was the victim last time, and the root cause was not diagnosed or fixed. In which case, the repairer should fix it all properly, with the only cost being sorting the root cause. If ECU failure is common on these, it is easy for the repairer to just swap it out and not do any diagnosis. The root cause could be the reason for many of the 'common' failures. 2a. ECUs generally do not fail due to outside factors, as they mostly just receive sensor inputs, and give outputs as a result. They are voltage sensitive though, so an alternator that is overcharging, or creating voltage spikes might cause issues. 2b. Poor connections with power supply or earth can cause current to seek out alternative routes, with damaging consequences. There may be more, but that is all I can think of right now.

[@matthewburrows2768]

Daf service is terrible in general, inspection came I mentioned there’s an intermittent engine light on. MOT comes round yeah it’s failed on an engine light. Told them about it weeks before. They’re garbage. Got a new generation Daf had it 3 days. Had to be recovered. Took 6 days!!!!

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Did a bloody good job getting that trailer off the motorway mate. You should train bus drivers. They don't seem able to straighten their buses up at bus stops. Isn't that truck still under warranty? I'd be pushing for them to replace it. It's obviously a lemon of a truck.

[@garrybailey5978]

Hi Luke I hope you had some grub and got a good nights sleep. Nothing worse than waiting around and a real shame your truck proved unrealisable. Hope when you buy your own you have a get a good un 🤞

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

That's a bit of bad luck but back on the road now. Quick question when you breakdown what do you put your tacho on ? Rest or other work? Hope you have a trouble free rest of the week now

Hi Luke. I have my practical test and lessons next week for my Class 2. Will I be learning in an automatic or a manual? Thanks matey.

[@FM60260]

I find it strangely satisfying to see a 23 year old recovery truck being used to rescue a failed truck that is barely 8 years old.

[@trevornelmes9331]

And would you buy a DAF (again)? Or, for yourself when you go solo?

[@johnmoloney5296]

Starting to look like the cheapest thing to do with g16 is use it as spare parts for the rest of the fleet

[@LostSoulNo301281]

1:26 "the dreaded noise". I thought those were the standard noises a DAF makes.

[@DAMIEN-pz4ry]

Did that truck not finish a Mot recently i would question that any fault should have been picked up ?

[@JohnSmith-hl2mg]

A Mot is for the safety of the truck and as long as everything was OK on the time of the that's all that matters

[@dougwilson1769]

Cannot believe that the truck has broken down again. Although a number of people are saying that they have had problems with a DAF truck I know a few companies who think that the DAF trucks they have a really very good. How old is the truck then Luke?? Good idea to move the truck on as it is becoming a money pit as well as a customer nightmare. Hope for much better luck going forward Luke.

[@brianwebb191]

The age of a vehicle is Not the problem ? The PEOPLE how own and maintain the vehicle are the Problem Fact ?

[@richardgiles2484]

Has the person who come up with the idea of smart motorways ever owned up to it 🤔 What would have happened if an other HGV broke down is the question 🤔 As for all that crap left behind by scum bags that's a different issue that needs to be addressed ASAP aswell 👹

Hi Luke. Can you please explain in a future vid how the recovery truck controls the trailer brakes on the recovered truck?

[@Brian-1948]

Did you not see the air line connected through the grille of G16?

[@DialMforDavid]

@@Brian-1948 I did - I wanted to find out what happened next in the connection and how it was controlled in the recovery truck. I have no trucking experience so have little in terms of reference.

[@Brian-1948]

@@DialMforDavid Hi David, sorry my reply came over a little blunt. As I understand it they simply connect into the truck braking system to provide air pressure to release the brakes. The towed units brakes are then operated via the towing vehicles brake pedal.

[@DialMforDavid]

@@Brian-1948 Hi Brian - thanks so much for that. I think the next step is to actually learn a bit about how air brakes work. When you know nothing about a topic its hard to even phrase a question clearly but I appreciate your time on that. Have a good day and thanks for the clarification.

[@leschase1824]

Hell of a lot to invest to buy brand new. If the company could possibly afford it, then chop the tractor when the warranty runs out for another new one. At least then you should always be on the road, with a bit of luck. Best of luck for the rest of the week.

I used to drive a 58 plate DAF and although it was nice to drive, it was constantly in the garage, the company got rid of it. The driver the delivered the new truck (20 plate.... also spent a fair amount of time in the the garage) drove the old one back down south somewhere and ended up killing the truck completely. DAF drives nice, but spends it's life in the garage.

[@brianwebb191]

Sounds more like a fault with the maintance department to me ? We have a 65 plt DAF with 1.5 millon on the clock, that would like a rest maybe , Should we have problems on the road allways call DAF AID sorted and away you go lol Whats the point of towing a vehicle home ? still have to pay for the repair, and that could be less than the tow cost, But some people like to waste money, We have two spare units parked in the yard, and its not been cost efficient to use them, cheaper to ring daf aid they are with you within 45 mins,
