Was a sluggish dog at Walkergate that one. Had a rather odd gearbox meaning it over-reved through the gears with very little speed...

All internally are ok in my opinion, But the mechanical condition of a few of them is rather bad.

Ive noticed 22512 and 22514 have had their setup modified ( kickdown turned off is one of them ) to save there engine's from going bang, So thieve either had there engine's replaced in the past or there current engine is on the brink, Which is a familiar trait for MAN's! Unfortunately this has resulted in them becoming rather sluggish.
22513 is in a lot better condition than the above two, With it being in original condition mechanically and performs well, Though I felt it was on the brink of overheating when I last had it on the X47, Also had a few rather unhealthy squeals come from the gearbox too.

18.240's I believe are the heaviest single deck chassis that was on the market at the time, And MAN's aren't exactly fuel efficient either.

The Enviro300 bodied MAN's feel a lot better than the Kinetic's, But some rather unhealthy squeals etc coming from them too, I'm sure there is only one of them that sounds healthy.

There hit and miss to be honest.

Probably to stop them overheating. One of the problems with the 18.240s is the engine layout in relation to the radiator and cooling system. One of the Cumbria & North Lancs ones (24116) received extra grill modifications to the rear early in its life, but voided it of its warranty funnily enough.... To be fair, MAN Truck & Coach haven't exactly done the best of job when it comes to them.

Squealing and chucking belts another woe...
