This bus was actually repaired before it was withdrawn. I have a recording of it some months after this one from a 368 (had got on hoping it was still making this noise!) but it had been fixed.
Interestingly the First Manchester metrobus (30286) and First Glasgow metrobus (dm164) that I have uploaded sounds of were also both repaired before being withdrawn too. In the case of the Manchester bus within 2 weeks of it being repaired it was taken out of service!
3008 has been exported to Malta along with 3012
