Yes I know what you've been thinking--'Isn't it about time we had a Daf XF105 story on Biglorryblog!' So here's one on machinery moving specialists Flegg Transport who have chosen high-spec Daf XF105s for their 2008 fleet replacement programme to ensure driver comfort and to reinforce the company's professional image with their customers. An FAS three-axle rigid and a pair of mid-lift axle FTG tractors, all at 460 horsepower, have already entered service in the Buckinghamshire firm's fleet, with another FTG at 510hp due in August. 
All four have an AS-Tronic auto for stress-free drive--as will the full air-con, luxury air-suspended seats with arm rests for both driver and co-driver, a radio/CD player with six speakers, and a stylish silver dashboard that incorporates a hands-free telephone kit. And when they're not rolling the driver have plenty of room to move about in the Daf cabs not least to stow theior gear plus a fridge, TV with DVD player, and a microwave. From the outside they look stunning too in their smart Porsche red paint, with a full air management kit and 'skylight' spot lamps contoured into the cab roofline. They're on 315/60 tyres to keep the height down and the tractor units have a Jost low-height fifth wheel to give a coupling height of just 1080 mm to match the Royen low-deck curtainsided trailers that the Dafs will pull.

Flegg Transport has also gone straight to Euro 5 with the 12.9 litre MX engines in their Daf 105s. Good fuel consumption was an important consideration as well as the need to meet changing environmental conditions like the London LEZ.
Meanwhile this truck is definitely NOT in the Fleeg fleet. Old TM is in good condition though, spotted on
