  I see, so what types of faults can chassis develop? Cracks and loose bolts?

  Cracks. Loose bolts seldom can happen. But cracks can happen , especially around joints aka weldings.

  Sv265/268 have their EDS Format changed these few days. The front EDS now show Ang Mo Kio Depot, instead of AMK Depot.
  For the side EDS, it show as follows (for Sv 268)

  Top Line: AMK Depot (remain fix, no scrolling)

  Bottom Line: St 64/62 , then change to Ave 9/4/3, then change to Ind Pk II.

  Previously, it was scrolling for all the road name and not showing the destination.

  232 and 238 are also getting their fair share of their EDS' changed.

  It now follows back to the time when S63 Scania cameo on 238.

  Front desto now has 2 lines - Toa Payoh Int for the top (in bold)
  Bottom line reads via Toa Payoh Lor xx (for 238) and via Lor xx (for 232)

  Side desto is the same as what lemon1974 said. Programming lines are the same as the front desto.

  SBS 8088 X got it first, then SBS 8104 H, and SBS 8085 D got it yesterday.

  The last I heard, only the first 100 had arrived. The rest are either being prepared for revenue service or are still being made.
