Howdy there!
For a start, I don't know why you all hate Dennis Lances so much.
They are a very suitable bus, with a beautiful turbo whistle, and
minimal turbo lag, as opposed to buses like the Volvo
B7R/B7L/B7RLE, the B10TL/Super Olympian, and the Scania L94UB (with
a full seated load, and from a standing start). he primary reason
for these units to overheat, as told by a mechanic I know from TIBS
is the fact that these buses are GOVERNED to the ridiculously slow
speed of 60km/h. As one would know, restricting the potential of a
powerful engine to a low speed, and a low gear means the engine and
gearbox is under extreme stress. As a result, all Dennis Lances
have gone through one engine reconditioning, and at least one
gearbox change. A severe case is in the case of TIB912B, a Lance
245, which has had a new engine put in about 7 months ago, and has
gone through two gearboxes. So, for those Lance haters out there,
do not blame TIBS for poor maintenance, or Dennis for manufacturing
a poor quality bus, but blame the Singapore Government and the LTC
for implementing a very dangerous and stupid rule.
Now, in reply to your question, I do have a photo of an interior of
a Volgren bodied O.405....one of a unit from Sydney, Australia, and
another from TIB959S. 959 can be found on the route 969 from
Tampines to Woodlands, so go hunting around. Also, try 171, or
960.
