  FYI,My Instructor told me that Scania CRB buses are prone to catch fire especially if the parking brake are jammed.Some captains did not realised it until there was a burning smell.One example is when the parking brake are jammed,The safety bar(The red button beside the parking brake)will automatically pop up slowly but to naked eyes,It seems like nothing happened(pop up)The reasons why many captains still drove slowly despite the jammed.He also said that nearly 4 Scanias are scrapped due to this problems.Hopes this will solved the puzzled as he don't remember the regos.

  Possibly because the brake pads are exposed to enormous amounts of friction.

  SBS 3689U has been burnt to ash. I think it was serving sv 19 when it happened many years back. It was bearing a Tiger Beer ad ( u know, the one that can change 2 images left and right?)
