Belt drive magazine

​We publish a magazine for club members four times a year.  
From March 2025, it is called Belt drive magazine, formally known as Belting Along.  It contains a mix of technical, social and other articles. Members of the DAF Owners Club receive a copy as part of their membership. 

Below is a selection of past articles that will hopefully be of interest and help to members and other interested people. You are welcome to download/print these but if you plan to reprint or redistribute, please credit DAF Owners Club as copyright holders.
Although we are a small club we think it is important to ensure a good quality of magazine that hopefully appeals to a broad spectrum of interests.
