I did think about writing it on the defect card when I had it on the 165's but I don't wanna start telling engineering how to do their job ;D Thats the point of defect cards mate, if theres a defect, you put it on there! Cover your arse, no one else will!!!  I Had a small problem with my bus yesterday morning in the garage, i noticed on my pre-service check that it had a small coolant leak, even though i told the engineers and they fixed it in time (was a loose jubilee clip on one of the hoses) i still put it on the defect card and got them to sign it off as fixed. And with an arse the size of your's it takes a lot of covering  Back on topic I agree with egg put it down to cover yourself, sometimes when I'm finished with a bus there's no room left for other drivers to note defects the amount of stuff I put down, ranging from luggage bay lights being out to air leaks  |

That's what i thought!!! Though, as it changes gears, you can hear the engine rev higher before changing and then shaking as it changes and god its rough lol. Even a couple of NS's 174** batch are like it too. I think 17444 and 17459 are the ones i can name of the top of my head. They can't downshift properly either so i would love to know if anyone can shed some light on this lol Revving up before they change suggests the transmission is on it's last legs.... Thank you for confirmation lol. I think at one point NS had the following vehicles with this problem; 17124, 17135, 17136, 17137, 17154, 17192 and 17194 Might add that these are V1**MEV vehicles too |

18235 LX04FYB on the 277 (OOS at dalston running back to BW) when this bus took off from the lights I honestly thought a volvo was coming, no joke.

Most of the noises DT buses make I can't explain... And I don't want to know that is causing them... If I knew what was causing them all I'd be scared to drive it!!!

I actually wrote "Tick noise coming from exhaust under acceleration" when I had it. |

This used to be REALLY noisy |

Oh yeah. Best ones for being the loudest at the moment are 17132 and 17137. Saying that, i love these beasts being noisy because they sound so god d*mn powerful from the inside!!

Quite astounding for an Automatic vehicle! lol. ;D That's what i thought!!! Though, as it changes gears, you can hear the engine rev higher before changing and then shaking as it changes and god its rough lol. Even a couple of NS's 174** batch are like it too. I think 17444 and 17459 are the ones i can name of the top of my head. They can't downshift properly either so i would love to know if anyone can shed some light on this lol I had something similar with my PVL tonight (PVL31 for those interested) as it changed up gears it would come out of gear the revs would go through the roof and then it would drop into gear, also as you braked for lights etc.... if you started accelerating again before completely stopping it would give a little roar jump about and then you heard it thump into gear ;D I did get it subbed as I finished and noticed after the engineer had taken it for a spin it was parked back on the forecourt with unfit plates. |

Keeping with London Central here, AVL22 with irregular revs when I was on the 35 earlier. |

I love when buses sound powerful that is why I love ELBGs V reg tridents and also LCs AVL's they just spund more RAW than other tridents and B7tls. |

Was this a continuous grinding sound that came every time it accelerated, or was it one that came on and off, on and off continously? Your observation has just reminded me of an awful griding noise I heard on one of Transdev's VLEs once - I couldn't describe it, you'd have had to hear it for yourself I believe it has gone now though. |
