I have no idea why this popped up in my recommendations. I have zero interest in trucks - but I gotta say that you reeled me right in. Above all, it's great to see a video made by someone who comes across as such a genuine, lovely bloke. Subbed. All the best.

[@truckinguk]

Man honestly this it’s the best comment I have seen since I start this channel, thank you for supporting me.

[@itsmeitsmeitsme416]

It randomly popped up on mine around a week ago i can't stop watching now

[@shaunboyles4269]

Good luck with your business venture

[@mwambangoie6200]

I watched you once and I’ve been hooked since …

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

Half these jobs you can do yourself. My first year of running an old commercial vehicle cost me 25k in parts and labour. I have taught myself to do all the servicing. All it’s cost me the last year was oil, filters, coolant and a clutch. Had the clutch done at a workshop and at the same time they checked all the steering. £400 was my outsourced labour bill last year. You can do it yourself!

[@guyhamiltonyt]

maybe he hasnt acquired the right tools yet, or the bay to do the draining correctly, give the guy a break, he's new to owner driving, I bet you didnt start out perfectly straight away! and if you say you did then you're telling prokies me old fruit.

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

@@guyhamiltonyt If you read my post you’ll see what it cost me, me old fruit. Only need a socket set to change the oils. What it’s cost him in labour in this vid he could kit himself out with tools, a torque wrench, jack and axle stands, and a pair of overalls. Plenty of KZbin videos on how to do stuff. He’s bought a massive money pit there. Doesn’t need a V8 as a first wagon. An ex large fleet motor with a maintenance record would be better.

[@abdulwadood.8]

@@petittrainguernsey3297he bought a v8 because he said he wants to do a range of different things, even heavy haulage

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

@@abdulwadood.8 Which you build up to. Very difficult in the haulage industry to be Jack of all trades. You end up being master of none. The motor is only the half of it with heavy haulage. All the certs required, HD axles & suspension required and that mid lift is no good if you need something with double drive. The wagon he’s got would be good for max weight motorway work. Steel rolls etc.

[@abdulwadood.8]

@@petittrainguernsey3297 know plenty of players that are the Jack of all trades, maxi construction, Malcolm logistics, etc I live in Scotland and often see a lot of the big players about, many of the big boys try and ace all trades. It’s not easy for a newbie like this guy, but let him try, we’ll see what happens

[@AMIsmail22]

Learning a lot from your videos mate I love your energy and attitude keep it up

[@affordablevs]

You have done the right thing there! Look after it and it will look after you.... personally i would leave the interior until she has been painted. No matter how much they cover, the dust etc from the booths gets in most areas from experience... Do the detail last and then she is ready for the big reveal and you can start hauling!

[@wilfymyers8134]

Thought this was yours the other day when in there to get mine, good set of lads in there

[@cabovermike]

Probs getting a good hgv valeter on the interior imo, (take cab curtains out and do them yourself) they do such a good job if you use a recomended one, well done on the service for piece of mind to, get all tyres checked also, .lots still to do, operators license , paint, lettering,vat registration , accountant ,fuel cards, etc, and then get earning some revenue,.good luck "TRUCKING UK"

Congratulations on the V8 it's looking good mate slowly getting there slowly does it been following for some time and you're almost making me want to do my truck driving licence but it seems very expensive at the moment so just continue watching on KZbin😂 you should definitely do a link up with trucker Tim he love a scania V8....🤘🏾

[@truckinguk]

Trucker Tim is a busy lad hopefully one day we can do a collaboration never know. You can get your license for free go to the gov.co.uk all the info it’s there

[@gengar90]

Free license. I think you’ve been smelling too much of that engine oil lol

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

With such an old, worn out wagon it’s gonna be constant issues like that hose over the engine. Jiggly little faults that will stop you in your tracks. You cannot afford to let customers down. Keep the Scanny as a project. Use the money you are about to spend and hire a wagon to get earning. You need loads on your back to pay for all of this.

[@garfy7]

In Costco you can get a Bissell spot clean pro-heat for £90 to clean the inside.

[@Beksization]

Buy an ex supermarket truck. Those guys repair and replace regardless of cost thus they make great second hand trucks.

[@alastairmann1419]

What a great video , good job hard to start your working your own truck. Your getting there. If your after any mats I've got a full set of brown leather floors mats for a r series v8 would fit yours , I had them in a r620 fitted a dream .

[@allencameron2619]

Hey man just subscribed to your channel like a couple of days ago just thought I would throw out some ideas to help. I’ve been watching another KZbinr called trucker Tim and he has some good people that he use for everything. He’s got a good mechanic place called Lombardos his name is Shawn He got a good guy that does his paint work for him called Darren not sure what his company name is He’s also got a mobile detailer as well not sure what his name is or the company Maybe try checking some of his videos out to help you with your truck he did pretty much the same thing as u brought his own truck and flipped it to the way he wanted it

[@gezkeable6220]

Top video . What colours you painting the cab ?

[@TheMuddatrucker]

If I had my time again and I had to stick with trucks then I’d do my examiners test and become a driving instructor instead of a truck driver. If you stick to driving then the chances of making a success of it are very slim, and you do succeed your mrs will probably never see you again as you be driving every hour you can. But I still wish you the best 👍🏻

[@truckinguk]

Thank you for the comment mate I’ll take your advice

[@TheMuddatrucker]

@@truckinguk definitely worth looking into, and you get to keep a clean truck all day everyday with very low maintenance compared with if you put it to work on trailers. I know trucking is all about being by yourself on the open road but this is real life now! And not only do you have to thinking what’s financial best but also for your physical & mental health.

No hate here but You need to be careful especially owning your own o-licence, if you are making videos etc and earning an income from it you should be doing manual entries for these hours worked (you may well be already) just a heads up cause I know people who have had hefty fines

How do you get a fine for making videos?

[@robertcatalinaldea2725]

Nice truck, but I’ve got a question for you… isn’t going to affect your profit this engine? I mean it sounds great but let’s say a 450hp Daf or a 460 Volvo wouldn’t achieve lower consumption and cost of running?

[@Matcha1991]

Depends on the work, we run an R500 v8, and it’s consistently better than the lower powered merc when pulling heavy.

[@garywebster6453]

Fail to understand why people with no idea about trucks, trucking, or running a truck buisness go out and buy a v8. Unless your eunning heavy freight, say to scotland etc, you're just throwing profit and money in your pocket down the exhaust pipes. You'll get there almost as quick in a straight 6 450, and probably gaining 3 mpg at least. Not forgetting any major work on a v8 due to its fit in the chassis is very expensive. That air compressor sounds proper rattly, more than normal. Diff and gearbox oils were well overdue for a change. Coolant must be minus 35 on a spectrometer, or else you can get problems with block and head joints.

[@torinshepherd97]

In about 90% of situations I've ever come up against, a V8 has been much more economical than any other I6 tractor.

[@garywebster6453]

@@torinshepherd97 current r 450 returns about 10 to 11 mpg. Most v8 models are returning about 7.5 that we seen come through main dealers. At 44 t a 500hp would give a reasonable balance of power and economy. With this guy being in an older spec v8, this will probably be more fuel hungry than the later models. Guess he will find out over time.
