[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 3884672, member: 4681"] E prefix MAN 8 136. It manages about 17 to the gallon, loaded and towing the caravan. As its so old(30 this year) it does not have or require a speed limiter. I would check up with NFU re date cut off and premium. The faults are mainly the narrow tyres, they are not as good as they could be in fields. Cab was rotten around the front screen, and the water ingress had rotted most of the floor, but that was a simple repair.More than can be said for the screen surround! Front wheel arches were rebuilt when the floor was done. That may put you off, but I only paid £700.00 for the old girl, and its done me well for more than 12 years. Oh, one more thing, cab electrics can be entertaining, heater resistors give up the ghost, and headlight switches are suspect. My fuel gauge is manual, IE bit of wood to dip the tank with! Parts are still available, though getting harder to find, most of the time they have to come from Germany. [/QUOTE]
