  • Lovely sounding 0.600 Leyland engine, the design od which was sold to DAF. All these engines had an odd induction "wheeze" Tiger PS2, were a lovely vehicle to drive even had synchromesh gear boxes.

  • Hi

    Leyland's can be pigs to start when they are cold. You could try the easy start, but it is not best recomended as you could blow your head gaskets, and continious use could get your engine adicted to the stuff.

  • 'Hunting', the name for uneven tickover, was a characteristic of post-war Leyland engines, virtually uniquely. It was not a fault.

  • My dad was old school he passed on crash box in 60s when he was coaching over 40 years u pick lots up ,, he said that ur engine will get use to cold start now i ,, a mini dad i do bus and coaching and u cant think what , it was then

    Beautiful sound. I remember on LT, many years ago, in very cold weather the engineers would get the old RT`s started by holding a burning oily rag to the air intake.

  • Hello Bus Fans. I live in New Zealand and have a 1985 Leyland Tiger Bus. There is not glow system and in cold weather it is very hard to start. What is the best method. The batteries are all in new condition. Should I use some ether down the inlet? Please help.

  • The uneven idling is due to two factors,(a) cold engine &(b)possibly a pneumatic governor fiteed to the injector pump.

    Halifax PD 2 's had CAV injector pump's with a hydraulic governor fitted which gave a much smoother idling. I enjoyed my days with them.

  • The uneven idling (if that's what you're referring to by funny sound) is common in old commercial diesels. could be anything from low compression on a cylinder to general tiredness

  • Great diesel sound, funny though, danish built (by DAB in Silkeborg, Jutland, in the 60ies) leyland buses sound just like this rare and fine piece!
