Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ALL of the improvements by Seddon Atkinson for its 1986 models can be seen on four vehicles.

"Silver Knightlivery has been produced to demonstrate Seddon Atkinson's ability to satisfy ownerdrivers needing a visually distinctive vehicle from the premium 401 range.

New options range from wheel covers to a sculptured dragfoil for the cab roof.

The Silver Knight on show is based on a standard 401 6x2 model for 38 tonnes and is powered by a 240kW (328hp) Perkins R-R 340 Li diesel. It has the optional [3-speed Fuller Roadranger gearbox and 3.91 to 1 ratio driving axle, giving it a geared road speed of 109km/h (68mph) and gradeability of 1 in 3.

A 228kW (305hp) Gardner 6LYT powered 4x2 tractor is the other 38tonne 401 model on the stand. It is shown in the livery of Harry Lawson, Dundee. It also has 13-speed Fuller gearbox, which is offered as an option. A back axle ratio of 3.73 to 1 is geared for 111kin/h (69mph) and 1 in 3.4 graduability.

Noise levels are reduced inside the 401 cab by some 1.5 dB(A). New axles have been introduced on both 401 and 301 4x2 and 6x2 tractive units.

Seddon Atkinson's best-selling product of [985, the 301 6 x4 rigid 24runner, is displayed in tanker chassis form.

The vehicle, which has been purchased by Wilsons of Oban and is a 5nt wheelbase chassis is powered by a 157kW (21Ihp) Cummins 10-litre LT10 turbocharged diesel. It has Petroleum Regulations equipment, a nine-speed Fuller RTX-6609 gearbox and Nordc rubber suspension at the rear.

A lighter front axle and new brakes are changes to the fourth and final exhibit — a 201 16-runner, complete with the new 12-speed splitter driveline. The 3.8m wheelbase model will be used with skip loader equipment by Andrew Hepburn, Coatbridge. ft is powered by the 111kW (149hp) turbocharged and charge-cooled Perkins T6.3344 diesel engine — the International engine is no longer used.
