They need to go and read the chassis details carefully but otherwise that's ace.

They were always called S**z Chariots in my youth.

The odd shaped grill of this bus was part of an experiment in noise reduction. Also the inside of the engine compartment was lined with a foam type substance. RM 738 stayed like this until about mid 1970 when a driver crashed the bus and broke the grill. It was then replaced with a regular grill.

Have that as MHN582.

Nice, and doesn't match any lists I have for Cyprus and Mk II Metrobuses.

Centre of Altrincham has been flattened and pedestrianised like many cities. Searching is easy, click on picture, select share then Google Lens, works about 90% of the time for pics nicked off the web.

Decent MoT history and if I wasn't putting one of the fleet through an MoT tomorrow I'd be looking at train times as that's an absolute bargain.

Wouldn't all these ramblings about bulbs have been better in this thread ?

"turns over doesn't start ,runs on easy start ..make your own mind up what's wrong as we don't know" Those have a stupid cutout system where if the battery isn't fully charged it cuts the fuel system off. Ask me how I know.

"Citroen Picasso 1.6 hdi Cheap Tax 30 per yearMot until October 2023I bought this car recently and was advised that there was an undiagnosed starting fault. I have had it checked and been advised that the camshaft position sensor needs replacing. It does turn over however doesnt start and I have no intention of getting it fixed and will be sold as is because I have bought another car. it could potentially be a cheap fix for someone. It is not a damaged repaired vehicle.The car has full service history two keys and a top of the range Bluetooth after market stereo system. mileage is 127k. No timeaster or offers! Grey, 5+ owners, £650" Nearly worth buying a £20 sensor and turning up... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202307109502908

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202307109496813 Shame this isn't 5 miles away as I'd probably be on my way to see it . Worth £450 anyday, although "The only thing it doesn't accelerate very well" is hardly a surprise for one of these.
