has anyone noticed when the new 34s are started the radio ALWAYS comes on??
 we have a number of time been trying to transmit a message(mobile most of the time) and had to stop the message to turn the radio off.

anyone had this trouble? short of pulling the fuse not sure if there is anything we can do with it.

Never had the stereo turn itself on though... just lots of static noise over all the radios (still working on that one).

Isn't there a 'quality control' system in place that ensures all trucks are fully checked and tested before they are delivered to the brigades?
One  would think that problems like radio static when you turn the truck on, would be fairly obvious to spot...

Does such a place exist in Australia?

Where are the MFS Scania's made?

MFS Scanias bodies from the latest batch were built by Liquip in Queensland, previous to that Fraser and Lowes (when they existed) in NZ

We had the BA cylander put in under the back seat the other day and we have found that when we get in we kick it and turn it on by mistake. Does this happen to any other new 34 around?   :?

Why did you have a BA cylinder put under the seat?
Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

just got this from a reasonably reliable source  :wink:

"There is a BA cylinder bracket for a BA cylinder, for a system that was going to be installed in all the new 34’s, which enables BA masks to be hooked up inside the cab, and provide a short amount of breathing air for each crew member in a burn over situation…  EG – 5 masks, all hooked in to the one cylinder… bout 6 mins each of air… Plenty for a burn over before you can get out."

sounds good, but oxygen would be better than compressed air. You can change the rate (maybe) and oxygen does have a calming effect.

just about flooding the cab with cool air i think, plus it might create a bit of positive pressure to keep moke out a lil bit

Ah but proper (EG: Not a crap bench seat like the DENNIS) BA seats will usually cut the max crew from 6 -> 5. Awesome seats though.

Scania's have bench seats also, maybe thats the way BA Seats are, I got no idea.   5 Crew is really enough, dont needto have 6.  BA seats in all appliances wouldnt be a bad idea, it is a lot easier and more productive to put the set on and get out with it on.

Not to mention the amount of space it will free up on the appliance.
