My mate,now deceased,, used to overhaul the Km gearboxes at Vauxhall Ellesmere Port. Luton used to send them up on the night trunk for him to do.
Me and my mate did the head on his dad's tk when we were younger without taking the cab off, christ that was heavy!
What was the tractor unit designation letters,not a very successful unit. Even Vauxhall leased Volvo 's in the end. The night trunk from E/port used to change over at Rugby then head back up the A41 and have a kip in a layby on a board across the engine cowling. The first night they used the Volvo with a sleeper cab the driver was woken by the police about 10 in the morning because Vauxhall had reported him missing as he should have been back at 0600. The bed was so comfortable he slept though
Mechanically I believe they were ok but you had to brush up the body and shovel it into the bin.
