If your prepared to travel the 600 miles up here I'm happy to make any day a play day... Plenty of scope to get lost for days up this way.... Or sunk for weeks.....

I'd probably take my Volvo though, It always gets me out the C**P...

Hello Clive, are you French or just living there..? Just a quick query, I have a Berliet TBU15 CLD Wrecker. Can you find information on the engine in my truck and whether or not it can take a turbo or not..? I'm thinking of selling it soon but would be good to find any new info on the engine and tuning....? Thanks...

Hi 6cyltdi I've been living here for nearly 12 years,will see what I can find out.

Back again,I googled your Berliet details over here and got pages of stuff but no real leads,but came across one from the UK guys name is Jamie Grieve,if this is you then stumped!He does appear to have some trucks,might be worth a look.Found a site on same page a guy called Traveller Dave,he's got a scrapyard for trucks in France(think he's English),"La Calmette Scrapyard (30) France.Try googling Europe-Camions.com,they have some for sale so might have 2nd hand parts(in French pieces d'occasion).Try this too xTRM ExPORT.com
Hope some of this helps

Ok, I'll see what that comes back with. I'm not Jamie but we have almost identical interests and speak on the phone from time to time usually for hours. He sold his Berliet about a year ago now.
Thinking about selling mine fairly soon but have a monster turbo sitting without a home and was thinking it might be something interesting to try out.. Not that I don't have enough on my plate looking after my trucks already...

Thanks for your help......!!
