It might have a 9 speed box in it If it has the 6 pot engine it will have it if not it will be a 7 or a 9 One way to find out is to put it in manual and go through the box as u are driving and u can find out that way
Top work my guy, I believe it will be a 7 speed then as I do recall it goes into Drive after you manually upshift from 6th. Our newer ones have the 9 speed. I shall amend the description, thank you.
You can’t beat those smaller VAG diesels. The 1.6tdi on a golf 7.5 used to get 70mpg. Petrol TFSI now on an Audi is lucky to get 40. Sadly the diesels are being phased out more and more so you are kind of forced into petrol for discounts on new vehicles.
I had a 2004 Skoda Octavia with a 1.9 "ALH" turbo diesel. Brilliant vehicle regularly getting 60mpg+. Emissions mandates & the motorist being an easy revenue target sees them being forced off the roads or prohibitively expensive to run/tax.
@@wheelerd02 Not terrible the last few weeks have been quite rough as a lot is going on in my life and the council have had a fleet replacement this week and split every crew up and moved everyone and everything so I’m finding it a bit sad and i can only hope i find my friends soon as most of my friends are bin men. So its a lot of change at once. Have you Heard my 2nd channel hit 1,000 subscribers last month so thats epic but it means a lot of work to monetise and stuff. Anyway whats your favourite bus to drive been, personally from video games the Mellor Strator I believe it is is like a car but a but its super to drive.
Good sprinter
Never thought about that turning when on newhall hawkwell . Always went to the triangle 🔺️ down the road
looks like a nice vehicle. Our old school bus is ancient. On a cold day, only just starts lol
A decent steer, what school bus are you running?
@@wheelerd02 it’s a Mercedes Soroco Optarte. She’s an old girl. The oldest in our fleet. She’s had a whole new engine rebuild too
@@castletransport having googled said vehicle I imagine it is 10/15 years old? A 413cdi or something like that?
@@wheelerd02 actually it’s 2008. She’s an old girl lol
@@wheelerd02 it’s a 2008 vehicle so she’s an old girl for sure. As I said she’s had her engine rebuilt too lol

One way to find out is to put it in manual and go through the box as u are driving and u can find out that way
Or it will say what gear u are in on the dash as u are driving like in a coach a1 or d1 somwthing like that

I noticed your skoda parked in the depot recently. Spotted it because of the wheels 👍
A fine vehicle she is, many an adventure together.
How have you been?
Not bad my guy, chasing the payslips and weekends. One day into the next.
How are you doing?
