“Absolutely Outstanding DAF LF 45.160”

★★★★★

written by on 12/03/2016

Had my DAF LF 45.160 for 6 years. Absolutely faultless and starts 1st time every time and never let's me down. Now done 326,000 Miles (not kna) and still goes like a brand new truck and never misses a beat. Only fault has been with taillift which is bodybuilder issue, water gets into solenoid but soon resolved. Truck still looks great with no rust issues atall. I get it serviced every 8 weeks and never failed an MOT. I do 350 miles every night in her, mainly motorway and she is a pleasure and a joy to drive. Effortless performance and fuel returns of average 18.6mpg. Very impressive. I love my truck and won't part with her for the world.. Miles better than Iveco, Mercedes, MAN, Renault and them ridiculous Canters.

Ths suspension is on the soft side which makes for great driver comfort, but as a result the handling starts to deteriorate when near the load limits.

A reliable runner and parts are easy to get should you need them.

The Daf 45 LF is good to drive but is forever off the road for major repairs. A very expensive experience.

Asked by Grangeforge on 13th May 2015 Report this content
We have a fault on our DAF 45 that our main dealer can't solve. At the beginning of a journey we get a red 'engine'warning' fault. The injectors and pump have been pressure tested. The injector sleeves have been replaced. The pressure release valve on the rail has been replaced and the high pressure valve behind the pump has been replaced. None of this has helped. The error message in the diagnostics is fuel pump leakage. Gauge attached when this fault happens shows the fuel pressure drops suddenly to 100 psi. Switching the engine off and waiting a few minutes then switching it on again usually cures the fault for the rest of the journey. Main dealer can't understand why there is a sudden pressure drop when the accelerator is being used and why this only happens at the start of a journey. Does anyone have any suggestions?
