Leyland National cold start 19/01/2022 

Strongest part of a national..... the starter motor

Very nice bus. Good to see some old buses being saved.

Nice to see a woman who enjoys these exhaust videos.

Lots of clag haha! I love the cooling fan seen through the rear grill, bright yellow got that toy look. Jm

Beautiful sound

Still an emissions pass compared to a new VW! 😂 I love the tick of these engines! 👌

Clatter and wheeze.....that takes me back😄😄😄

glorious first time rev, it really do feel like the engine struggles to comes back to life, feels like an achievement, very strong starter too

I see the 510 is functioning smoothly.

Was part of the design team for the National 2. One of the objectives was to do something about the rear view. It does look like the back end of a bus!

Amazing buses. Smokey. Great engine sounds. Memorable and so many great bus journeys.❤ Boy how I miss these driving on the roads everyday 😩

Leyland's Motor Is just ASMR TBH.

Another quick 510 start up. 🤣👍

Fantastic 😊

Smells great😊

Really cool video the Leyland National is my favourite bus.........EVER

I do love a nice National! Reminds me of my younger years in East Kent and being stupid enough to cross Roads behind them and getting "Napalmed" by drivers as they pull away

I love the sound of injector knock 😌

That poor 510 knocking her guts out like a tart in the back of a Ford Zephyr, and cook your breakfast on the starter motor. Like any self respecting 510 Mk1 National to blot out the sun and wake the dead with that whining metallic clatter. Wow 7AM Stroud depot January 1978 stressed out hard pressed mechanics work their fingers to the bone coaxing life into a mixed stud of 680 RE,s and 510 Mk 1 Nationals in order to shift the school kids to Archway, Marling, and Maidenhill, the fog of oily grey exhaust fumes must be seen to be believed, those poor bloody birds unwittingly gassed and drop off their twigs.

Just a normal 510 startup, Takes a while to get enough heat into them for combustion to happen. Then they like telling everyone it has happend

She's a goer !!!!!!!

Please send this to Greta!

All I can say thank you made my day Hell you made my weekHow you made my week

I wonder what makes those Leyland engines so much worse to start from cold then similar engines of the same age. I'm no expect but my guess is it is in the fuel pump design, that shifts the timing at start rpm's too late hence making it start "less easy". Mechanical fuel pump are designed to perform to certain standard with "operating rpms" between low idle and high idle, so the start performance at 100-150rpm is more or less a coincidence, and much related to the basic mechanical design and pump cam profile. I guess it was good enough for the Leyland engineers back then to accept it.... (give me a break and don't start with no glow plugs, compression to start, bla bla bla...)

What's the technical reason that these Nationals are so difficult (and smokey) to start?

Went to school every day on one of those in the late 70’s

The smell of an older diesel engine is magical to me. Love it, at Hardy‘s animal farm where me and my family go for a day out in Sutton they have a marvellous Massey Ferguson 135 tractor named Fergie. Her Perkins engine smells amazing

Bus next to it and I have similar plans…

Was there no cold start device fitted as standard to leyland nationals? Start Pilote fluid pump for example would have saved the starter motor churning away.

HELLLFIRE

Whats the state of play with the former Pennine Mk1 and was that the former LN5?

Was it wise to rev the nuts out of a cold engine straight after it eventually fired?! Obviously no glow plugs were fitted back then & the battery had to be in tip top condition to power the starter motor.

Where is this place?

gretha tunberg's crying into her forest friendly alpen cereal........ paaahaaahaaahaa

That oil pump sounds weak

Much as I am not comfortable asking the depot why they stopped running the London Suburban Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s on routes N26, 30, 121, 230, 271, 349, N279 And 158 why can’t we make the same make of the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Buses but Modernise the insides of these Buses. Also, make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make them into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s that if it will be possible and Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space and even a London Suburban Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more. Why couldn’t we have those London Suburban Buse's Pale red on the top roof Pale red again on the top middle Milk Chocolate brown in the middle Creamy white on the Bottom Middle and Milk Chocolate Brown on the Bottom on most of those kinds of those Particular Double Decker Vehicles? Could you put the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox in the Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also put the Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox in the Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more and also turn most of them to a London Suburban Buses. By the way, could you also make the routes N26, 349, 121, N279 and 271 into London Suburban Buses and have a mixture of a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version. Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses and all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds? They can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More. Can Arriva London Bus Company Replace Most of their Wight Buses so they can also transfer them to Birmingham and Also Manchester so they can be replaced by Loud 3-Speed ZF Ecomat Gearboxes Volvo D10A Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles A Little Bit More Thank You Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Much. Oh buy the way could the bus Factory Companies also Make More of Those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel engine Olympian ECW Vehicles And that also includes Those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC And also Extend the Middle Body part of those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Vehicles and the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and that also includes The Loud 3-Speed ZF Ecomat Gearboxes Volvo D10A Engine East Lancs Olympus A Little Bit More And Paint Those 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and also those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel engine Olympian ECW Vehicles and that also includes The Northern Counties Palatine One with a Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Diesel engines with a Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearboxes and The Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and also The Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles to the Grey Green Colours Just Like The Other Original Scania Grey Green on the Bus Route 313 and the 103, If all The Leyland Titan B15’s are Fully Red and even Mostly Red, could they also Repaint All of The Leyland Titan B15’s into Grey Green Colours Just Like The Other Original Scania Grey Green on the Bus Route 313 so they can Reuse them for Only Every 6 and a Half Months and also Reuse them on those Rail Replacement London Bus Routes if that will Be Alright for Only Just Every 6 and a Half Months and also Reuse Those Buses Only on the London Bus Routes witch are The 341, N41, 34, 123, N29, 149, 221, N73, 121, 86, 30, 262, 147, 396, 41, N26 so Please make sure that the builders can do as they are told!!!!!!!!!!
