Pete And His Bus, Episode 28: Service And Discovery

[@johnchettleburgh6055]

My only complaint is that the episodes are too short and there aren't enough of them! Thank you for brightening my day and looking forward to the next one.

It takes a mammoth effort to put this all together, I'll try my best to ramp up production. Thanks for watching!

This bus looks very much like the "AEC" double decker busses we used to ride in the late 40s all the way until late 70s in Baghdad Iraq. We also had the one deck. They were marvelous and incredibly well engineered and made. Boy did we love them busses.😍😍

Amazing the difference a little black paint on the arches makes..! ...also, drove past an event the other day that had a double decker serving food/drink and despite it being a yellowy-orange, still made me look to see what was written on the placards! _Sadly (and rather obviously) it didn't say Pete And His Bus)_

That’s good news about your friend and his bus It is a good thing that the bus has a newer Cummins engine and that is especially good for reliability The arches may have come up better if you had put some of that lovely red primer on first as that would have filled the holes better They look good and only.

Another great Vid Pete. Though to have some preverbally thrown at me, most of the purest want to keep the Routemasters as buses and not as Bars, Tea shops and stand on the road cafes (I’ve even know one as a mobile fish & chip shop). These buses are black holes (as you know) and unless you have a couple of million pounds, to keep them on the road cost money and to put them showroom condition. I commend you and all the others that buy Routemasters to use them as a business and to keep them going (Until the B frame fails). Keep it up bud, your doing all us ‘wanna be’s’ Routemasters owners proud

Another entertaining video. Interesting that British cars from the '60s and '70s have badges saying they have a "3.4 litre" motor.

The Jaguar was pretty cool. If you can't find a Fiat Multipla, a 2CV would be rather fun. Compo seems to be curiously well-behaved lately. Have you given him a dose of premium oil? Maybe he's planning something obnoxious to celebrate the arrival of the next bus.

when you check the oil you should really lower it off the blocks when checking the oil, it’s the same with HGVs you need to make sure that they are level to get a more accurate reading

I do hope you rechecked the oil level once the bus was level again. I love when an engine's oil filter is vertical or near vertical, far less messy to remove and can be prefilled so no lag with the oil preasure on start up. Are you going to paint the wheels and hubs in the original dark red, they look weird in black and get some front wheel nut covers?

RM1000 was always my favourite RM..because of it's unique registration number 100BXL, I remember ticking it off in my ABC London Buses book having seen it the first time outside C&A in Wembley High Street when it was allocated to Stonebridge Garage (SE). I remember it as always being well looked after at the various garages it was allocated to. What a lovely gesture to have it for your wedding day.
