I have one for family use not in use all the time quite smooth engine, it’s not the best for economy mine is 2018 slightly different on seat backs otherwise very similar I absolutely love it, my local garage told me they had a customer with over 300,000 on the clock all good used as a taxi
Worth a punt mate and gives you that flexibility in all areas will be interesting to see how you get on. You should do a monthly update on your profit or loss - think you’ll be quids in overall between now and September
Nice bus mate. One thing to keep an eye on with these is the engine is prone to lubrication system failure - this usually occurs because of leaking injector seat washers. When they start to leak the oil gets contaminated and starts to form a sludge in the sump etc. Eventually this will begin to clog the oil pickup pipe as well as blocking the engine breather system. Because this happens gradually the engine receives less and less oil over time. The first sign of trouble is usually the turbo failing ,or EGR system faults due to the clogged breather system. At worst the crank main and big end bearing will get starved, this can lead to a situation where the crank actually snaps as it welds itself into the main bearing journals! This is all very easily avoided though if you keep a close eye on the condition of the engine. The injector sealing washers are very inexpensive items and probably worth changing every so often if you're doing high mileages anyway. The down side is they require a bit of labour and time, plus some mechanical knowledge to change. Or just pay a mechanic, still cheaper than an engine rebuild/replacement. Would also recommend oil changes more frequently than specified on these engines. Best wishes and happy motoring!
You must be absolutely mad mate this game is so bad every where no sign off this job improving 20 years doing it the jobs finished can’t even get minimum wage
Your right in it being bad for over 20 years, I've done this job done for 26 years (phv/hackney) my bro on hgv earns 3x an hour what I earn but I LOVE every aspect of this career and wouldn't change it for the world but I'm an odd ball 😂 I never understand why so many drivers come into it thinking they will earn mega and realise what Gross and Net mean! 😊
Sefton would tell you to remove one seat. Had this problem with my galaxy and caddy maxi. Went to normal car in the end after having a battle with these plonkers. Lovely Van Matt, good value for money
I like it and a good honest review,,, i hope it works for you mate ,, l like your determination, the driving position is great in a 🚌, if its works out I'd probably invest ln a seat with armrest, you'll have to us the seat belt to keep you in your seat 🫣, looks like a winner to me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Seeing all the manufacturers giving up building EVs, can’t sell EVs being the reason, I’m going back to hybrid, better on motorways anyway, I’d bin the Tesla while you can still sell an EV, won’t be long before there worthless
@@driver-matty even if it just sits there and pays for itself it is sick. I'd love one. Trying to move from sefton to knowsley so I can get my ops license
Would consider going on a Hackney your earning would improve a lot waiting for over a hour and half st fantasy Island Liverpool airport I would have earned £40.00 by then even work in on ranks in town
You know when we experience newer technologies like going from cassettes to CDs or CRT to plasma/OLED 😂 theres a saying once you try black you're never going back 😂 I hope I'll never go back to ICE vehicles as as you know theres sooo many downsides to older technologies 😂😂😂 Cheers and good luck with the bus
Mate have you noticed how BAD the job offers are lately? Haha the worst I’ve had was 17 miles away for £5.80 for a 2 mile trip 😂😂😂 Uber is DRUNK and if not should be with these crazy jobs lately 😂😂😂
How do! How does it work out from insurance point of view. ? Is it just an addition to your existing policy? Or two policies. ? Only asking cos never thought about having two vehicles.
You mention leg room mate, out of interest, how tall are you? 😂😂😂 Cheap as chips functional bus that mate, onwards and upwards for Brand Matty. Good luck
As a bus enthusiast I really enjoyed this video, keep up the great work. 👍
Thanks mate

Yup 😁👍
