Pity this isn't a where is it .

Closer down to the RSL end then?

Looks like a cross st off Ramsgate road, probably about three down from Rocky point road (Intersection Tavern area)

Wondering by the desto if the owner is the current franchise owner of carline mufflers at Taren Point (If that's still a going business?)

Looking at your photos, id say its 3.2 high (give or take 100mm) and a base weight on those super Vikings (its not a tiger like ol' mate told you) she would be a good 7 tonne minimum with a full deck of seats ready for passenger service, so now its converted id hazard a guess its sitting at 10 tonne...

I think they used to run under the accreditation - Deans coaches south from memory and 120 would have been Menai depot

have you tried running the chassis number or previous rego through fleetlists to see what comes up?

The most simple and cost effective form of roadside assistance - Being on good terms with other operators in the areas you plan to visit. Odds on you'll still lose profit on your job paying for another bus to come in and finish your trip but at the end of the day, having a bus turn up to keep the pu...

Can you get the flywheel machined or have you been told the crack is too deep?

Try I Know Parts (google them)
You may have a BG100 bus but you will need to know the motor code/engine number. I know BG300 and CM277 had what is known as an EK200 engine, but im not sure on a BG100, I think it could have been a DK code? but don't quote me

Vacuum bleed with one of the air bleeders should be fine, just get it sucking away and keep toping it up till fresh stuff comes out. I've seen guys jam something against the clutch fork to take the load off the slave while bleeding them too.

Just get a pre mixed 50/50 off the shelf, make life easy

Yes MAN are relatively easy to work on and access parts for
They are in a way a poor mans mercedes

That's a North Coast Body.
Haven't personally spent time on them but I understand they are quite good

Which body is the MAN?

Personally I would get the MCA but id say the MAN would have better lock to lock steering and would use less fuel. probably a bit more comfortable at speed on the freeway too

Firstly, could you supply a photo and some details (chassis number or previous rego ect) so the fleet lists can be amended (its a disposal list of buses over the years) Maybe you could join or contact QOCS (Queensland Omnibus and Coach Society) the members all have an interest in buses and some may ...

pop the window cap off to expose the laminate, odds on it will be glued to the frame and you should have a foam in there between the frame. CM277 are a good reliable bus, but alas with all things Jap once they hit 10 years they stopped producing spare parts. You can still get most things via supplie...

GCG Turbos should be able to.

It was on gumtree for sale probably 12 months back now, so I guess it didn't sell or sold local

Thanks
I don't see it catching anyone out, it still requires a minimum 4.5kn/T

Do you have a link for that or can you confirm it is on the RMS website?
Sure its efficiency and not imbalance? in which case its a relaxing of the rule

Hmm possibly but that was more a Volvo thing to split them. I did have a thought it might be compressor blow off tick (when unloader is open and resinates) but its really hard with out hearing it

There should be a hole in the back of the booster with a 19mm nut, winding that should overcome the spring - BUT - make sure you chock the wheels!!

Additionally if you have front brake air but not park brake then odds on your four way protection valve is faulty

Your location?

Should be a de-oiler under the front just behind the front axle, tall looking cylinder with fins like an air cooled cylinder

on chassis behind L/H/F wheel?

do you have any door rubber on it now?
Try searching rubber manufactures or look up UES (Universal engineer supplies) and send them a section drawing they can help
