Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Britain's first MAN F90 22.362 twin-steer has gone into service with owner-driver Albert Dale, who has just celebrated 15 years' of business with international hauliers Beresford's of Stoke-on-Trent.

The twin steer is fitted with an Eaton Twin Splitter box, a Dayton Walther sliding fifth wheel, Michelin low-profile 295/80R tyres with XZAs on the steering axles and XZTs on the drive axle. The 265kW MAN six-cylinder, 12-litre D2866KF engine develops maximum torque of 1,500Nm.

Dale has run MAN before and reckons that the new twinsteer is quiet with good ride and handling. He will use the unit for Continental work, especially on his runs carrying Johnson's ceramic wall tiles.
