You'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit cryptic about this. This is our new project, I'm not going to say too much at the moment apart from it's a Gardner powered Leyland bus. All will be revealed soon. Honest!
This particular old girl hasn't been started for about 10 years and this was the second time we'd made her 'live' today. The first time the engine was just turned over with the injector pipes disconnected to clear out any contaminated fuel and to circulate some oil around the engine.
This time around, all the fluids were checked and topped up where necessary and she was actually started.
Apologies for the chatter at the beginning of the video and yes, the horn got stuck on for a while! Old 1970's designed electrics are great aren't they?
So she runs but she will need a bit of engine work to make her usable, but that's a bit of a way off at the moment with our many other projects taking priority. Until then, she's safe.
