Really wouldn't mind preserving DW101... if only I had the money I thought these had Voith gearbox, they have listed it as ZF. Think the DW's should have been cheaper than the VLA. At least they have cleared [DX] of the VLA's now.

Regarding the mistake in gearbox description I can only imagine buses are not always checked straightaway to see what spec the boxes are prior to advertisement as it's not the first time I have seen a DW advertised as having a ZF box.

Those particular buses have the 8.3L C series Cummin engine¹ coupled to the ZF, very much the same setup as with the LA class Dennis Lances that TL used on the 36B in the 90s. ¹ - possibly euro1 spec'd

Haven't been on an Arrow before but my, they sound good judging from those two videos. They're both definitely on ZF, would have to say 4 spd ZF as they contain what I'd describe as an identical ZF whine found on Cummins & Volvo engined Volvo Olympians as well as Volvo Citybuses - a Voith one tend to have their own whine in comparison. As for engines, not sure of exact specs but would the R reg is a Euro II example as Euro II appeared around P reg IIRC whilst the first example is likely a Euro I example.
