IIRC the brakes are air over hydraulic which would explain why there are air gauges and a fluid level warning.
They stuck with that system until the LF think its just the japanese and iveco still have air over hydraulic now not sure why? I guess when they had drums and not much room for chambers, the full air system is simpler and effective ... the durn iveco calipers always seem to seize. oh and on the road rats and 45s that poxy secondary brake chamber with a pair of cables to the shoes it was always a fingers crossed moment at the testing station
even when you'd gone right though the back brakes it was only just over the percentage for a pass if you were lucky !!!
I used to have a VW LT35D as a horsebox. Every MOT was an ordeal with the parking brake. One time I broke the rod between the bell crank at the cab and the cable by pulling as hard as I could in a desperate attempt to get enough brake effort. The MOT history site revealed that subsequent owners were still having problems with the back brakes all the way to end.
