Hallo, I am having problems with the indicators; on the way to the MOT startion (TUV) they stopped working. They had been a bit intermittent, but yesterday they stopped working entirely. I am not sure whether the problem is the switch on the steering wheel, or the flasher relay (blinkgeber?). I have ...

Wow, well done, that is one nice looking pick up. Seems you had to do very little work for the controle technique (MOT in UK). A bientot, bon chance avec votre camion, Jamie

I think this aluminium is described in German as: die Aluprofile der Einfassungen und der Befestigungen (?), hope this helps, Jamie

Hallo 319 friends, I am trying to find some aluminium chanel that holds the original pegboard lining (hardboard with holes in) on the interior walls and roof on the Metz 319 fire engine.

Hallo, I am fitting an OM616 engine and have taken the driveshaft to be shortened and balance. The firm who are doing the work say the U J joints (sorry, I don't know the word in German) are worn out so I need new ones. They cannot get UJ joints with grease nipples here in England.
