Re: New Facebook Group

Just type "Routemaster Owners and Operators" into the search bar on Facebook, there is also an RM owners group but that has more members than there are RMs...

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RML 2667 and several RTs

Re: New Facebook Group

The Facebook group is doing well, over 50 members, all owners or maintainers who are helping each other with problems, sources of material etc.

Re: New Facebook Group

So, recently rescued an RM 1754 in Arizona -
Looking for the drivetrain components and trying to get it back on the road-
I has been in an office for 14 years - Fire Department made it difficult and nothing was able to leak, so engine and transmission and differential was removed and no where to be found -
any info on a differential would be most appreciated -
tblock@blockenergygroup.com is my address

Re: New Facebook Group

Try contacting Lorne McDonald, he had aan IVECO engine spare in the USA. You can find him by doing a search.

Re: New Facebook Group

Brian Engine and trans should be easily source-able its the differential (either OEM or Replacement) is on the immediate agenda

Re: New Facebook Group

I have a rebuilt gearbox available, new short half shaft but no diff! they are like rocking horse droppings to get these days.

You're looking at serious money though, gearbox about £2k, half shaft about £2k, shipping maybe £900.

My bus number (if any): RML2532

Re: New Facebook Group

HI Roy, Hope you are well during these difficult times.
I am usig this time to catch up with a lot of Jobs on my RML, and have an oil leak where the fuel pump meets the timing case.
Do you know if there is an oil seal that leaks, or is it a gasket please? Bus has a cummins c series.
