    Joe is quite correct when he said a runaway engine was nearly impossible to stop --It happened to me with a truck and it was horrendous

    the engine went past max rev's and of the clock I couldn't get it out of gear and the brakes where red hot --In the end a rod went through the

    side of the block and jammed the engine with such a force it tore it of its mountings --I hope no one experiences this .good Luck.

    • not more than 1,500 millimetres from the ground;
    • so that the front side reflector is towards the centre of the vehicle, and the rear one within one metre of the rear of the vehicle.
    Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 and trailers manufactured on or after 1 October 1985 require side reflectors to be positioned so that one reflector is within 4 metres of the front of the vehicle, one within l metre of the rear of the vehicle and so that there is no gap of more than 3 metres (4 metres if this is not practicable) between any two adjacent reflectors.
