- Restoring a double decker bus - The Iconic Routemaster London double decker bus.
Built in the 1960's our AEC Routemaster London buses need constant attention, so if you want to find out what it takes to keep a London Routemaster bus on the road then make sure you check-out all our maintenance and restoration videos here on TH-cam...
Filmed in the UK at the Routemaster 4 Hire HQ in Wrexham, North Wales we are passionate about London buses and with 7 vintage buses in the fleet we defiantly have our work cut out!
In this video we show you how we changed 5 brake hoses on our open top Routemaster. On paper this job looked easy but in reality it was anything but...

Really enjoyed that 'Dennis'!
Well done and thankyou for another amazingly good video 👍👍good to see vehicles being looked after properly unlike some rogues ive seen presenting vehicles for hgv mot,or plating as its called! Ive seen some horrible sights on lorries and buses too.mind you seeing you 2 working on stands and the vehicle on the floor is common for me working on unimogs replacing clutches,disc's and pads and the list goes on!! Id love to have a pit or lifters!!! Keep up the awesome work and fair play on the prank call 😆😆😆😆 im forever winding those people up!!
better comedy than sunday night at the london palladium lol
little hydraulic hose trick i learnt a while back, get some telephone cable, the thick ones, cut a 6inch section then take the insulation off and you will find it filled with hundred of different coloured wires which you can then wrap around the fittings (match colours) then its literally fool proof
Great episode, loved the prank call. If I’ve got nothing better to do I’ll keep them thinking they’re onto a winner for as long as possible. I think of it as whilst they’re talking to me, they’re not scamming someone vulnerable, and there’s only 24 hours in a day 😂
Keep up the videos always look forward to a new one 👍🏼
Excellent
Thanks
Another great and funny video from the Twat with a hat lol Dave and Tim. You always impress me with your knowledge of these old girls. Thanks lads 👍🏻
Hello Dave and to the rest of the team thank you for another good video. I’m like you I do have a bit of fun when I get a call like that they are always the ones that given the first and hang up. No you don’t want to be changing your number just do what I do and keep blocking those numbers. Keep safe all of you I look forward to the next video.
RM Hydraulic filter: Fleetguard LF 563
Excellent presentation lovely dog 🐕 very interesting vid..
Another great episode, thanks lads
Another enjoyable film. Well done lads.
Hi all love the videos love to see how easy it is to do these buses but yes I here you say it's not easy at all but in my eyes it's looks it but anyhow I love the bloopers live a laugh at the end do put more on it cheer's me no end all the best to the team Kevin
Another brilliant video... keep them coming lads👍
Love the Chanel 👍
Absolutely fantastic video love watching you repair these old routemasters it's so fascinatin used to go to school on one of these I loved it. Love the outtake video. Keep up the good work. 👌👍
Great show!
Why dont you guys get one of those extendable drain pans with the big tank on the bottom? it would spare you working like navvies getting dirt and muck on you
Thanks Dave and Tim for another great video, hope neither of you got any of the very smelly hydraulic fluid over your skin, especially when the brakes were being pumped.....
Regarding the spam calls, just block the bastards numbers so they cannot call you again - works for me!!
See you for the next video, hope it's on RM1214.....🤪👍
Great videos. Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it, thank you.
Another great video, just love the content.👍
Thanks 👍
I just found another TH-cam gem. You guys are very skilled and also amusing! Love the whole spannering of old heavy metal type thing! That young lad has an old mechanics head on young shoulders. And I don’t mean the twat in the hat! No offence, safety first is key😂👍😁
Why do you paint the chassis silver ?? this requirement stopped when the MOT for buses went from 6, 5,4,3,2,1, year intervals to every year
Hoses didn't look too bad. Yes the paint was peeling but that's not structural, but I'm sure that you would never put a vehicle out with hoses "that could fail at any moment".
I was thinking that's just silver paint from painting the underside in the past. No reflection on the braided hose condition.
You make reference to " cleaning " the tellus tank filter?
I have to question your methods. The filter has to be replaced not cleaned.
I can only assume you don't have a replacement?
Hi Michael, yes you are correct - we didn't have a replacement so had to re-use the old one.
Gentlemen, I am curious as to why you are changing those particular brake hoses?
During my many years working on Routemaster buses, I have no recollection of ever changing those particular hydraulic brake hoses.
To the best of my knowledge, they are not included in what was London Transports 16 rota. Not included in Aldenham's overhauled buses. Judging by your comments none of the hoses leak?
If there is obvious deterioration, fair enough. Do you have any idea how old the hoses are? If they are not defective in any way; why change them?
Hi Michael. They were very deteriorated and whilst not leaking we decided to change these safety critical hoses before one did decide to leak. This bus runs sightseeing tours along a very steep road with a sheer drop on one side so it was not worth the risk.
Still really enjoying the channel. Keep it up guys!
I bet it's Tim who does all the real work in the garage, though! ;D :D
