TICKING TIME BOMB? Waiting on My PMI While Dealing with an Intermittent Clutch Failure! ​There is nothing worse than driving a rig when you know something is wrong, but it only happens sometimes. In this video, I am out on the road in the 18-tonne rigid Mercedes dealing with a massive headache: a clutch that is failing intermittently. One minute it’s shifting fine, the next it’s slipping and acting up, leaving me guessing every time I gear change. To top it all off, the truck is currently waiting on the PMI (Preventative Maintenance Inspection) results to come back. We are completely in limbo—hoping the inspection doesn't flag a laundry list of defects, while simultaneously trying to figure out why this clutch is giving up the ghost on its own terms. ​If you’ve ever had to nurse a truck with an intermittent fault or sweat out a PMI report, you will relate to this one. I'm taking you along for the drive, breaking down the symptoms of the slipping clutch, and waiting to see what the inspectors say! ​#TruckLife #MercedesActros #ClutchFailure #RigidTruck #PMI #HGV #TruckingUK #CommercialVehicles #IntermittentFault
