a sleeper cab for AC Hinch out of Uppingham. "It's just got eight speeds," he noted. "I have the splitter box. This gate is quite narrow. The engine pulls down lower than my 12-litre. "This sounds and feels like it has more grunt. The engine brake is useful and the service brakes come in smoothly behind it. I think that the steering lock was better on the 3 Series. The cab suspension feels different. It doesn't roll as much and the ride is smoother."
III "What does it weigh?' Bob Hall wanted to know. He drives for Birkett of Darby. "It's lighter than my Foden 4325 but that does have a sleeper cab. The Scania's steps are a good height and make it easy to climb into the cab.
it's a nice environment inside with big, comfortable seats. I like the position of everything and the armrest on the door. Nice door handles too. Electrical adjustment for the nearside mirror would be ideal on my job.

• Enzo Trebisacce is an ownerdriver with a Volvo FL10 320 based at Leighton Buzzard. 'The steering wheel is a tad big and the clutch pedal is higher than mine, but its got a good turning circle,' he said. "There is plenty of legroom and the cab is generally bigger than the FIA. The reversing screen would be better sited further towards the middle of the cab where it can be used in conjunction with the nearside mirror.
"The engine rating is only slightly more powerful than mine but it hardly feels that it's pulling a load.
"It's a nice-looking cab."
