Hiya..can anyone help me please..after having a few months off after some nice person wanted some bits off my truck . Got her fired up last night and the foot operated kill switch didn't work. I did think its electrical because my loom was cut to get batteries out..but looking at valve. Im thinking vacuum. Would any one have a diagram of valve. So I can chase back all piping..thanks ian

its not an atego,yours is just the 814, that switch is also the exhaust brake so if you look and the exhaust manifold and down pipe you should see a cylinder attached that is your exhaust brake then you can trace your pipes back from that.

Thankyou very much for that jason...that makes quite a bit of sense now..been trying to source second hand parts..with atego in my search. Always looked slightly different. Daft question..would the exhaust brake work still work if the exhaust box was missing..
I had it all jacked up the other month to do some maintenance. And someone beat me to it..took front wheels .batteries.exhaust and stripped the inside of all my camping stuff..

yes it should do as the flap is in a sandwich plate which sits between the manifold and downpipe,it is very basic and is air operated so if its not working i would say they have damaged an air pipe or they have removed it when taking the exhaust off
