Description
After more than a decade abandoned in the Welsh countryside, this old Foden heavy recovery truck was finally getting a second chance! When our good friend Dave Crouch asked if we could help get his latest purchase running, Jack and I packed the tools and headed for Wales. What looked like a straightforward job soon turned into a proper challenge, with seized brakes, troublesome air systems, tyre problems and a few other surprises along the way! With narrow Welsh roads and a rather large recovery truck to get home, we certainly had our work cut out for us. Will this forgotten Foden make it out of the field after all these years? Enjoy the video!
