How Deep?

Thanks Boronia, Just a lot of oil coming through the system and now air not building up beyond 60psi. Bus has been sitting for six months and I'm told the oil may have gunked up one of the valves possibly. I thought I might just replace the top end of the compressor to at least try and eliminate the...

Do you have manual for AN68 Atlantean?

Thankyou

Hi,

Anyone know of someone who can overhaul?

Any help appreciated

Hello guys, Need some help please. I know some of you are very knowledgable so I have a question... What could be the main causes of sudden band slippage in a leyland Atlantean 5 spd pneumo cyclic? Last time bus was driven 6 mnths ago bus was fine. Although had no 4th gear at that stage due to air l...

Hi,
The bus is located in Nowra NSW but soon to be relocated to Broome WA.

Thanks for that info Burrumbus. That is interesting. So that means they had no problems with ADRs in VIC? These buses were all pre 1989 so would have been plated with the ADRs from their year of manufacture? (not 2012)? Im wondering if thats the case in NSW. Is anybody familiar with this please? I a...

Thanks for that.

Any idea when these buses arrived in Australia?

Regards

Hi,

Does anybody know if the fleet of Titans & Olympians ex UK were repowered at all for registration purposes?

Thanks

Great news! Finally made it G.

Air pressure will be something minor I would say mate so dont stress.

Garry

Ah No not possible as its still in the UK.

Thanks

Thanks Boronia.

Just found out it is a ECW body.


Any Ideas on that one at all?

Thanks Boronia.

How would I contact Alexanders?
Are they still in operation?

Thanks for the reply.

Hello all, need some help please if anyone is knowledgable on this topic. I need to find out some specifications for a Leyland Olympian 1985 Alexander Body.

Good stuff,

let me know how you proceed.

Hello Brisbane Atlantean.

You havent got the old girl home yet?

buggar!

what parts you needing.

let me know I will see if I know anyone that might have something.

keep me posted as you know I have an interest in that bus.

Love to see her up & running and restored some day.

regards

Yep thats crazy!

Dont ever want to be involved in that!

You are right what am I complaining about?

I guess I am just annoyed because it is a privately owned collectors item that (because it has all its original seats is still classed as a 'public passenger vehicle') Thats what annoys me!

Well after investigation it doesnt matter about the GVM! Any bus no matter what the use if it has more than 10 seats HAS to go to the RMS for a HVIS (not HVIAS) inspection every year :( So I will just have to go at the ungodly hour of 5.50am on a day when I needed to be elsewhere because I dont have...
