bus/lorry mechanic near immingham/hull urgently needed

[bill773mini]

A friend of mine in Norway has posted this on SMF and I thought I'd put it on here as a plea too just to try and help

as some of you might know i bought the BMC mobile training unit bus on ebay a while ago. The bus WAS running, but when it arrived at the docks they couldn't start it. So i now need a mechanic to go and look at it and get it started or they can't get it on board. i will of course pay for any costs/labour. Any tips appreciated, as i don't know anyone in that part of the country.

If anyone can help can they email Jan-Ivar on jan.ivar.sorensen (at) regnskapsbistand.no

Thanks

Thanks Richy, Jan-Ivar is very very grateful to you.. Great to get to tinker with a BMC bus too.

if its anything like mine is will be easy to fix.

they are big & numb, but very very simple to work on, as long as the engine will crank and the pump timing hasnt altered i should be able to get it going

(hope im not setting my self up for a huge fall here!)

jan had to get it going for the boat on sunday

[guru_1071]

was there ever a happy ending to this story?

or has someone converted it into a bun hut on the docks?

[bill773mini]

He went to meet it off the boat, jumped in and drove it 240 km home in 2 feet of snow. Apart from running out of diesel it ran perfectly.
