Incompetent gearboxes irritate me!
I'm not suprised driver of said bread-van acted the way he did and banged his foot to the floor. He'd probaby had enough for one day!
When you get lumbered with a shit bus for a day with a known fault, and bugger all gets done about it time and time again, then you kinda want the thing to blow up so that something gets done about it!
I had to drive a bus today which kept dropping cogs- therefore I'm having a rant :-D

@SPTSuperSprinter156 :Can I just point out that, as a bus driver, reporting gearbox problems is often a completely fruitless exercise. Because of the expense of gearboxes many bus companies don't actually replace a gearbox until if fails on the road. So drivers become resigned to driving them as they are.

I love where that guy rocked in his seat at 1:13!

Warning at 2:00 sounds like a volvo when there's a problem with the battery
And as for them old Allison AT545s on Breadvans... they're all as bad as each other!
Screaming, and slipping, especially from 1st-2nd-3rd

The Excels and Darts get the smell of burning rubber in them when being thrashed and/or going uphill. Will have to get a video! Some of them do have some serious gear problems!

Common cure for the W3Es in the O405 in Singapore for driver is to turn off the engine, start it again, it works most of the times i've been on one

That Mercedes bus towards the end must have had a braindead driver because anyone with a brainstem would have known something was wrong as it finished climbing the hill, given it was on full thrash in a low gear.
Honestly, incompetent people in a job irritate me.
Great collection of videos by the way, love the bus ones.

Thanks! I knew there was a problem with that breadvan, but when the driver pulled into the stop and I said the gearbox was knackered he said it had been doing it all day like that. Never mind, it was only a silly breadvan lol! But there was a smell of burning for a while before it all blew up. I had the camera ready lol!

Probably, the driver had to take it to the next bus stop.

Some slippy leylands for starters with some dodgy ZF gearboxes to follow and the grand blowout of a Merc 814 Breadvan. I've got a dodgy ZF on a B10B N523WVR with lots of overrevving in 1st. I've manged to burn a clutch out and scrapped the vechicle soon afterwards.

You just reminded me, I should have included my clip of CZ06EAW a Voith Volvo B7TL, I knew there was a Voith example to include!
