Thanks for that Billyboy, that 10.5 litre diesel still feels powerful. The ride quality is still up there with the best as well - very comfortable to travel on as a passenger and it is easy to see why they were employed on many of the longer distance services. I am interested to hear about your views on the brakes? - described by some as the vehicles 'achilles heel'.
