One dreadful! Dart with shaky idle booming but not the same as the older AT545 gearbox version shaky idle and secondary engine knock form the 4cyl 4 litre engine. One dreadful! bus!
@W444444 It's has suffered from bad maintance, the shaking comes from having a 4 litre 4 cylinder engine that causes secondary engine knock when left in gear due to the size of the engine. It has the newer 2000 series gearbox giving it the nickname "tractor." The AT545 Mk3 Darts do sound different but they;re a bit awkward to find due to there only being 4 of them local to me. The Allison 2000 gearbox does feature in optare solos and sound different with a mercedes engine.
