Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Although sharing the same cab "body in while" as the Daf IS, the similarities end there. Renault trims its awn cabs and has a different engine line-up and other componentry from the Leylandbuilt product.

In-cab the Midlum lacks the comfort of the Oaf product, though underthe cab its engines are the equal of the Oaf's Cummins, thanks to a well-balanced set up giving an even delivery of powerto the wheels with low noise levels.

Power is from Renaults dCi 4 and 6, four and six-pot common-rail engines offering ratings ol 150 to 270hp. The maximum body plus payload allowance for the Midlum is a creditable 4,500kg, putting it toward the top of the league for payload productivity.

Driving the Mifflin is a treat and most drivers will find the Midlum a simple vehicle to work with. The handling is excellent with a smooth, yet direct steering set up, minimal sway through the corners and a decent braking arrangement.

Payload potential • Unrivalled handling

REASONS TO SWER

* Average cab comfort VERDICT Front runner in this light distribution sector and definitely one for the shortlist
