Yippe! we passed
After 10 years off the road, the 504 passed its MOT first time, and I was able to drive it for the first time too. Wow what a magic carpet ride! Now a very happy chappy!

You can't beat a good, noisy diesel. The new, quiet, common rails are all well and good, but part of the fun of having a diesel used to be the roar, clouds of black smoke, and the feeling they would happily smash through a brick wall without complaint.
I drove a 504 pick-up diesel (in orange) years ago. Slow, but unstoppable.
Keep that monster going, Bikeboyz. I'm jealous.

It has rear wheel drive supplied via a diff with two drive shafts, mounted on independant rear suspension. Mine has drums on the rear though, not disc brakes which is just as well becuase the fronts are razor sharp!
Don't worry thats not a oil leak, just waxoyl. Decided to remove clean and paint the exhaust shield before fitting new exhaust, so oiled the cavity whilst it was out.

Wow, it all looks to be in brilliant condition! Fantastic stuff

That looks familiar as the 505's rear suspension was carried through from the 504 and I've seen a few of those. We used to have 505's in the family (the 8 seater Family estates) and they ahd the live rear axle..... Didnt ride nearly as well as the IRS setup.
