If they can cope on the autobahns over there and the heat of Spain, Greece etc - the a19 and UK summertime could be a stroll in the park.

MANs in Europe work find - as they drive on the right so their radiators grills are on the offside. In the UK, the grills are on the UK nearside so they are forever drawing the rubbish out of the gutter and clogging up the vents, hence why Stagecoach stopped buying them (that and MANs at Euro4 were cr*p anyway) hence they are busy replacing MAN engines in Solos, Versa and Euro4 MANs with Cummins engines.
