Yup I've had this out with all the MOT testers and they have all given me the whole spiel on "its more than my jobs worth" & "its all recorded these days, so they know everything we do" etc etc.
I've cleaned it up. took the signs off & said i use it both privately & for 'light' business use but ...

Evening all
OK this is getting frustrating...
Still no MOT after my 4th attempt on my Ford F350 & beginning to wonder if I've got a vehicle that's not compatible on British roads :roll:

Here's the latest:
Definitely can't put a class 7 MOT on it as its curb weight (i.e unladen weight with no ...

Put my F350 on a local weighbridge and it came in at over 3540 Kgs with no passengers or driver in it, no tools & just a quarter of a tank of fuel, so down plating to 3500kgs not an option.
Richard: Dual purpose vehicle looks like a possible way forward.....
Thanks for the help/advice so far ...

Thanks guys helpful advise so far...
I'm not that keen to have it down rated as it weighs over 3 ton so would mean i could only carry 500kg, which would include the driver, tools and fuel so it limits its use & usefulness. However if this is my only option i will pursue it. There's a company called ...

Hi guys
OK firstly apologies as its not a Mopar and i only ever seem to post on here when I've got an issue but you solved the problem last time with my Ford truck so here goes again....

I've got a Ford F350 6.0ldiesel double cab Super Duty. Went to MOT it & three test stations later and no joy ...

Had a Ford 7.3 IDI (not powerstroke but turbo'd) and it was the dogs danglies bits but sadly the rest of the truck was falling apart so it had to go...

I'll persevere with the 6.0h!, when it works its great, huge load carrying space & stands head & shoulders over the normal work trucks round here ...

Guys

Many thanks for the info. Shovelhead Rob,,,, great bit of info and will def look into what you suggest, although the local Ford Dealer near to me has a terrible reputation but there are others i could use.

Ok so after a few phone calls the Ford is booked in to a place down in Kent on Tuesday ...

Yep the 6.0l certainly has its gremlins, I've already done the EGR bulletproof kit so was hoping for a few miles of trouble free motoring but oh well. Great truck, tows effortlessly even with 5 ton behind it (Shhhh :-$ ;) )
I'm not outta the woods yet, not by a long way, but can see a glimmer of ...

Thanks so far for the updates & contacts, Luke was really helpful and the guys at Diplock got back to me which finally led to a garage with the right gear to plug it in, so fingers crossed.

If anyone else has anymore info it'll be greatly appreciated, its a great truck (when it works) and so I'm ...

Thanks mate, have called them already but usual story they don't have the diagnostic equipment to work on the truck. They were bloody helpful though and are hopefully calling me back with another guy who might be able to help.
I've been told it could be anything from a crank sensor to the FICM (a ...

Hi everybody.
I need some help please.
Can anyone suggest who to contact over an ongoing misfire issue that I've got with my 2003 Ford F350 powerstroke 6.0L.
I've tried several garages and am getting nowhere. David Boatwright Partnership and Hilltop Services have been tried so looking for new ...

Perfect Sunday morning viewing, absolutely, utterly love this era of racing

Thanks Pete, the Landy has been struggling of late. Got 2 of those tracked post-driving machines now (bren gun carriers as you call them) plus a tracked dumper so needed something with enough power to haul them....you gotta hand it to the yanks, they just get it don't they, if you need more power ...

So sorry Pete, I forgot you lived in a deprived area without High streets :D

If you stop buying all these toys you might be able to afford to move back over here to civilisation :P

Talking of new toys here's my new work truck, Ford F350 6.0l powerstroke, six speed (stick shift !) and goes like ...

Nice one Pete, like that a lot . The local neighbourhood gonna love that tearing up and down the High St.
Not much room for the cement mixer & trowel though.....
