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...

Its a shame the engine bay was designed so badly, As the rest of the vehicle itself is a good one, Powerful, Smooth Ride and a solid chassis that seems* to be bulletproof.
They are monster people movers though, They have countless rows of seats in the Enviro bodied ones.

They should consider these extra grills in my opinion, Or the addition of the Avid E-Fan, Or are these things too costly for the budget in place there?
