[Martyn Amos]

i chaps,picked up tango 1 in the week,very pleased with the old girl

on a x plate [2000] 12 months mot/tax,72000 on clock,new tyres all round £1400 very nice drive and will get the job done..

the question is what do you think this red switch is for,the guy who i bought it off did not know,the one on the right is the tipper switch,its the red flip up with button underneath..

all wise cracks welcome:001_rolleyes:ejector seat,rockets,guns,its the button to start a nuclear war blah,blah

Could be tipper isolater switch,to shut off electricity to the tipper motor,(isolate the tippier electric circuit),to prevent accidental tipping when driving.

 

Nice looking bus there.

yes it looks like a respray sam

i love the colour though,make a change from the good old white.

mind you the original colour is orange but its had a fresh coat

i am pleased with it,great drive and should make the job easier:thumbup:

i had a twin cab a few years ago with a locker box behind cab,which only made the tipper 6x6,i could get more in a trailer,plus it did not run tidy.the new one was cheaper to buy and its ina diff league

did it have a flashing light on the roof - could it be the switch for that? Nice bus run these trucks for years - nothing fancy but they keep on going!
