I hired a mini digger for a day to do some work in the garden last summer. My 3 lads were on it more than me and picked it up very quick. It's just time in the seat. Smooth fluid motion you should be aiming for and not speed. The speed will come in time. Good luck with it.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greb147 6,809 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Well I've settled for a Passat, not the most exciting of cars but should be OK with a bit of luck. The boot isn't as big as I imagined, doing away with the load lip looks to have seriously cut in to the head room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Today I took the new car for a run on the motorway, the trip was around 45mins to a hour. When I pulled up on the drive I let the engine tick over for a few minutes before switching it off. As I got out the car I noticed that the fans were still spinning and did so for about 5 mins. Now I'm guessing this is something to do with a DPF regen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No to do a dpf regen car needs to be running , fans could be still going if theyve been wired on to a delayed circuit , didn't think any body really done this anymore though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
