In O303s I used to drive. the park brake lever was in the middle of the dash. to the left of the dashboard. Can't remember if the 303/3 was the same.

Hi there,
1. Most likely the 4 way valve in the middle of the coach behind the front axle is the air problem.
2. Need to find the coolant leak! A radiator pressure teamster should allow you to build up pressure and find it.
3. Does the gearshift feel normal with engine not running?
4. Unfortunately the Ansair body's are SHITE and bad rust buckets!
5. Park brake lever pulls out then slides up. May just need some lube or there is a little pin on the side of the T bar that comes out so see what is going on or I Have a spare.
You would need to raise it by jack probably to get to 4 way valve.
Still a nice old girl to drive but body not the best.

Sorry for late further reply.
Re clutch.. if the ol girls sit for a while it may need a new clutch slave and or Master cylinders, quite inexpensive and easy to change.

Hello there, most likely then the clutch slave up at the box is the culprit! Or it could be the master. Find and fix leak. To bleed… fill fluid reservoir and bleed it at the slave cylinder underneath at the rear by someone depressing the clutch pedal while you crack open the nipple. Don’t let the pedal up until the nipple is closed. You may need to pull the pedal back up. This is normal. After you are confident no air in line then pump it.
