Well done Andrew for letting Alan use his ramp. Digging an inspection pit in the front garden may well have attracted attention and negative comments from the wife!
Great to see you out and about Alan....I went to Essex in august on one of those driving experiences, drove a routemaster, was fantastic....makes me want one even more now....keep posting the vids Alan, always good to watch...👍
I guess the wire couldn't have gone thru the small hole and back out the larger hole? Well done for keeping the RM going. Respect. Keep meaning to travel up north to get chips - bit of a way from Berkshire but the kind of crazy journeys I make.
Great to see you back in the Routemaster again Alan. It’s good that you got the use of the facilities to sort out the problem with the gears. I enjoyed this latest video.
Hello Alan, been a while since you posted a video, I am sure we are all concerned and hope all is well, I live in Wisbech and came through your village a week ago and saw your RM parked at home , hope you are well. Dave.
Choc blocks with insulation tape aren’t the best under a motor vehicle. It will let moisture in over time and corrode the wires. Some amalgamating tape would help stop the moisture if you want to keep that type of connector. Good that you found the fault and fixed it though.
Fascinating seeing this system. The toothed wheel is similar to modern day ABS braking systems but this is decades before. Probably high tech in those days, the impulses must have been read electro mechanically I presume as it is before the days of electronics as we know them.
I think this system was added in the 1990's refurbishment program as the original system had a sensor in the actual gearbox. There is an electronic control panel (CAV551) in the cab.
Hi Christopher. Everything carrying on here as before. I’m hoping to do some update videos in a while and show how a working day goes with us. So thanks for asking.
I loved your remark about how they used aluminum wiring to cut down the weight of the vehicle. You're standing under an 8 ton vehicle, for heavens sake. Anyone who's ever done wiring knows you don't use aluminum when you can find copper.
@@alanandhisbus3416 By the way, I should have mentioned how much I enjoy your videos. I restore antique trucks in Kansas and know all about the issues you deal with. Keep up the good work.
That’s very sad! He seemed like a very nice man! Sorry for the loss. I wondered what was up I talk to him a few times. Hope his bus has gone to a good home? Thanks for letting me know cheers♥️
