for McBurry of Northern Ireland. The seat is a good size,'' he says, and there's plenty of room behind the wheel. This is a lot quieter than the P-reg 360 !last drove, It picks up very smoothly— there's no need to drive hard. It pulls more strongly than the Actros, and that's no slouch. This retarder is
brilliant; it would be good for town work as well as steadying the truck downhill. The front bunk is big enough but I'm not sure if I could live with it. The general layout is good and the seats are easy to keep clean."
Andy Brittain drives a Scania 3 Series out of Nottingham for Clearway. "Everything is within reach," he says. "This seat gives more adjustment with the twopart backrest and it curves round to give more support. It pulls well at 40 tonnes and it's very quiet. The engine is forgiving and the gear change is smooth. The brakes are positive but it's a pity that the retarder has to be reset every time. I like the way the gear ever folds forward and the steering wheel lifts to make t easier to move. That front mink feels solid but I would need iome practice to climb into it!"
Peter Harris drives an ERF M11350 for BRT out of Swansea. 'I have trouble with Scania eats; they cut into the back of ny thighs and this one is no lifferent," he says. "The cab has Hedy of space and the dash ayout is nice. The steering is lice and light and the brakes are positive. The retarder would be ideal for my trips to Spain. The gearbox is still a bit tight but the engine gives a lot of power on acceleration. The header rail is a bit low but otherwise visibility is end all round."
