2005 2.3 3.5 ton Daily crew cab tipper. Just after getting the vehicle I found that I could not access the tyre valves - they were too short - local tyre place fitted longer valves. They used a long break bar to nip up the wheel nuts. On occasion there is a clattering, knocking from under the front, like two metal plates being banged together. Recently I found that the front rhs calliper can be moved. I could not undo the wheel nuts using the supplied tool with a 5 ft scaffold tube to help get more leverage and get the nut off. The supplied tool was twisting and bending. So I'll have to go back to the tyre place and ask them to slacken off the nuts. Does anyone know why the calliper can be loose? I have had the vehicle since March 2014 and bit by bit I am finding a lot wrong with it. A lot of the plastic stuff has broken with screws being used to hold panels in place, either they are badly made or the persons who have worked on it are very careless, perhaps both. Although the cab seems big there is nowhere for a clipboard, mobile phone, flask etc. Things left on a seat soon fly off as the vehicle proceeds. I thought that I could put tools in the crew cab area but find that it is not a good place to have tools. It goes very well and easily gets up to 40/50 mph but due to narrow roads with lots of small hills and corners it is rare that I get into 5th gear. 3rd and 4th are either too high or too low. I could call the 3.5 Transit van a large car and the Iveco a small truck. So far I find that the 3.5 Transit Luton back with tail lift is the better vehicle for me. The 3.5 Iveco looks good but has a lower payload than the van and although it is LWB and the van MWB I can get more in the van than in the Iveco tipper with crew cab. Horses for courses! |

Easy answer is caliper sliders they all suffer wear and the pads tends to rattle against the disc easy to change but expensive around £40 per side hope this helps the thing with iveco is they are small truck and a little agricultural built to last but as usual build a good truck then skimp on parts then let iveco dealers rip you off for parts and poor service having said that would never have another transit |

Agree, the cab isn't best for storage. how about one of those paperwork holders that hang down the centre seat from the heatrest. I've never been in a crewcab but is there any storage under the rear bench seat? or does the base flip up? |

Possibly pads loose in the caliper. Possibly the slider pins are worn and the caliper can move o the slider pins. Possibly the slider pin bolts are loose, and being held in by the rubber caps. Only way to find out is to whip the wheel off and have a look. |
