The UK is suffering from a serious shortage of skilled workers, our No1 son in law is responsible for a fleet of HGVs and he tells me he's had a 26 tonne truck off the road since April. First it was water in the engine sump so the head was surface ground and the liner 'O' rings were replaced, on reassembly it wouldn't start. Then the turbocharger was found wrecked because on reassembly the camshaft had been timed 180ยบ out which resulted in a fight between the valves and pistons with the resulting debris destroying the turbocharger. Can't do that on a Seven. While on another truck in for a guarantee adjustment to it's gearbox, the gearbox wasn't slung correctly and it fell to the ground and it now needs a replacement gearbox.
