small fire on SBS bus
-
maybe this bus will be on lay up as its whole engine is a gone case , it will only come out only when SBST has bought a replacement engine for this busOriginally posted by my@jas:I thought this bus just came back on svc after MIA for a long time?
Now going to be MIA again
-
Seems like the bus overheated due to some problem in the radiator, somewhat akin to a overheating computer due to the failure of it's fans; this is just my guess though, and I can't say for sure as I'm not a trained engineer/mechanic. Unlike our poor SBS 7253S over at Tuas, this should be repairable damage.

Well, at least this guy's tyre didnt explode! Anyway, 111 does have some cameo of SDs. On Wednesday, i saw a DM MK2, but i forgot rego
. But i'll tell you guys if I see the strider on the roads, but at least it wasnt a DD, if not it will be gone case too, as its the back.
But help me clear something, why is the radiator between the 2 doors and not at the back? Is this the typical WA Strider design for volvo? -

Yeah, typical for the B10M MK4s. You see all the DM3500s, DMs, Striders, Soon Chows (and also 997A, 998Y) all have their radiator at that location.Originally posted by TIB433S:But help me clear something, why is the radiator between the 2 doors and not at the back?

None of the SBST B10Ms have the radiator at the back. The MK2s & MK3s have them at the front. -
Remember reading new reports 2 Mk 4s on Service 151 also got sparks & smoke from that area along Clementi Rd towards Kent Ridge Ter.

Shld be StriderOriginally posted by TIB433S:When was that? And was it a Dm3500, a Dm or a Strider? -
when is it? When will 2648U be out again? Hope that SBST buys a new engine for 2648U as the burnt engine got to be scrapped & new engine got to be purchased in order to replace the burnt engine. Now it has to be laid up again while waiting for new engine?Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Remember reading new reports 2 Mk 4s on Service 151 also got sparks & smoke from that area along Clementi Rd towards Kent Ridge Ter.
