Orbslos Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 We have just returned from a Holiday in New Zealand,and the Motorhome we had was fitted with a engine brake system. My query is, does anyone have any ideas if this system can be fitted to my existing vehicle? As you can see from the time I am still in Auckland,or is it Hong Kong! (?) Orbslos.

simsy56 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 l think Fred, that you will find its called a Telma retarder, and it is an electric retarder thats fitted to the propshaft. Its not an exhaust brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry can't help with your query but can I ask : What model of motorhome was it, aSprinter ? What did you think of your trip round New Zealand and how long were you touring.
