(11 Oct 2014, 10:31 am)Dan wrote Kuyoyo does not have anything wrong with him. Regardless of whether the original post was rude or not, you shouldn't add fuel to the fire by making posts like this.

I suggest this ends here...

(11 Oct 2014, 10:46 am)NEBCD Malarkey wrote Well no because if you kept your tongue in your head and learned to ignore those posts whereby someone is constantly repeating themselves, then perhaps you wouldn't receive abuse back by other Members of the Forum for being so rude.

(12 Oct 2014, 8:58 am)Dan wrote It went in place of Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5252 (NK56 KHY), which is now back at Percy Main following attention at Smiles Engineering. That one has had quite a few troubles since the re-launch of the "Coaster" brand (at which time it was allegedly restricted to local services only), so hopefully it'll be fit and healthy again now...

Off memory, I believe Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5275 (NK07 KPG) is the example to have been retrofitted with an eFan Micro Hybrid System on a trial basis, so it's possible that they'll be looking at that, but I could be wrong...

(12 Oct 2014, 9:38 am)Dan wrote Think that's something different. Our resident from Corbridge may have a greater knowledge than me, given that he'd done his research in the past about the Fab56/Cobalt Volvo B9 modifications.

(12 Oct 2014, 9:42 am)Michael wrote Cheer's i thought it sounded different! haha

Not sure if i ask this before but will this increase the euro engine from Euro 5 to Euro 6 due to the modification, same as the ones on the 56 and the 309/310?
