Recently had John’s split bus through the workshop for a few running issues and electrical faults. All sorted and running like a top.

Looks great with the sign writing, built by a few years back.

We had the pleasure of Johnny’s 356b t5 though the workshop recently. Loads of work on this one, plenty of tidying up of the interior, simplifying the exterior styling, some electrical changes, engine / service work and we also had the Edmonds brothers put right some body damage.

John brought his bus over to us for a good tune up and to diagnose some running faults. Whilst carrying out our underside inspection we found one of the rear wheel bearings didn’t sound too great. Turns out it was spinning on the stub axle and getting rather hot! Hot enough to melt the grease and fling it all over the place 🤦‍♂️ rear hub rebuild along with a replacement stub axle and it’s back on the road ready for next year’s show season! Cheers John 🤙
