Definitely good content when you include the haul too Steve. (I still wouldn't like driving in London!) Dust carts: Back in the 1970s I remember reading an advert for Allison Transmission in Truck Magazine. They reckoned that dust carts were one of the most testing vehicles for transmissions due to the many stops, starts and gear changes.

Hi Steve. Glad to see you back🙂. As you pull out, the van not letting you out. He's not exactly observant or he would have seen the time limit on the bus lane, and save him holding you up as he shoves his way in. I sometimes find that following large vehicles will get you through places quicker🤣. I remember my husband (way before I met him), after his 9 years in the Army, came out in 1969, and got a job in Manchester. Before starting, he did six months with Securicor doing M/cr to London. He told me that he hated driving through London. I can now understand. Although my step-daughter's daughter, who have lived in Staines for years, drives like the idiots, and she thinks its normal🙄. Makes me wonder about the emergency services, whether they use their blues&twos just to get them from A to B that much quicker. Anyway, Steve, a great video and very interesting and a great bit of driving, if I do say so myself🤣. I certainly will not drive into London, ever!!

Another insight into the life of a heavy goods recovery driver. This is keeping me from being bored while recovering from Covid. A couple of questions for you Steve. Why is your truck manual and not automatic and why do you only remove one drive shaft? Looking forward to the next videos 😊 Rich
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 4 ай бұрын
Hi Richard , truck was already in stock at bodybuilders so didn't get option on gearbox. By removing the half shaft you our protection the gearbox by removing the drive from the rear wheels via the prop shaft to gearbox . Something we have to do on all commercial vehicles we recover when drive wheels our in contact with the road.

As someone who gets motion sick, even though I love the head cam driving footage and seeing around, the switching back and forth with the stability of the dash camera definitely helps me not feel ill.. The struggles of someone who likes watching this sort of video, but gets motion sick.. Keep up the good work!

G’day from Brisbane Queensland Australia, love your Vlogs on towing around London , what horrible roads you have in London. They are more like the suburban road that you would find out the front your house. Those speed up and down calming devices as part of the road speed control. Here in Australia are known as Wombats, be auseinander if you were to hit a wombat the vehicle would come off second best. All the best

I think a few bad words may have come out if it were me! I wouldn't want to live and drive in a place like London. I live near Carlisle and you think it's busy with a few cars sat for 5 mins very occasionally - different world down there. An automatic would certainly be necessary if you were doing that every day.

ye temporaty covers are the best as the diff oil can get to the bearings then like you said in your commentary there are a lot of hub bolt patterns to have one cover for all of them would be a bit of a job

Great job Steve. How do you get the vehicle your towing so central to yours, unbelievable skill i believe to have it follow you so direct.

Thanks for watching James , just try and reverse using dustcart mirrors as guide really , try to get central otherwise if will effect your road positioning.

Another great video Steve. You must have the patience of a saint to deal with that traffic; it's a long time since I regularly drove through London and in no way does it appeal to me now. Are there any rules or regs regards the use of beacons ?

@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 4 ай бұрын
Hi David thanks for watching , normally left up to the driver when he or she sees a benefit to use beacons as a warning to others when towing.

steve have you ever tried a plumbers bung to stop the oil escaping from the axel
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 4 ай бұрын
Hi Simon never tried that , normally have half shaft cover to fit mate , you only tend to loose oil out of axles with roller bearings , you dont normally see much of the oil on normal axles when you remove the blue roll.

Really enjoyed the video. Just a quick question, why do you not like having your beacons (lights) on if possible? You say for cover? :)
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 4 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for watching , we dont need to run with beacons on if we can keep up with the flow of traffic and not causing a hazard to other drivers. We use them as warning to others on busy narrow roads or maybe pulling across junctions , at night they can dazzle others and take the eye focus off turning and braking lights on truck.

Do you pay the London tax charges or are recoveries vehicles exempt? And a great video and so much better with the two cameras

Just wondering do you lock the cab up for security while you’re working on the tow? Or is it not possible because the keys are in the ignition? I was thinking it could be dangerous if somebody got into the cab while you’re working.

Hi Thanks for watching , you need keys in ignition and engine running to operate underlift , but have spare key to lock cab door when outside working if needed.
