The beauty about the MAN SV is that most parts are interchangeable so not as many spares needed on the shelf.:nut:

Foden trucks are staying in service for a bit longer, ours has just undergone a refurb as our unit won't be getting the MAN SVR for quite sometime, (Training unit run by civvi's), Iveco have come into play big style, 8 wheeler tipper with terex crane behind the cab to replace the FL12, and a 6 wheeler flatbed with a Terex crane rear mounted, No British truck building industry anymore.:nut:

The ether cold start capsules are not used now and are like rocking horse s**t to get hold of, a can of easy start does the same job, The capsules fit into a cylinder on the dashboard, its about 4" square with a hand primer built in, most bedfords still in service have had them removed.
