Um, the bus is a 74 (1800): it's got an alternator that means, I think (?). It's always done this since I've owned it, flickering above (about) 3000, and below about a few hundred (like when it's about to stall - but that's normal isn't it? Well, I'm not sure why the brake warning light flickers too.)

Yeah don't they all have a VW in them somewhere. I remember the priest guy driving a kg in a flashback once. Don't remember any busses though (I haven't seen all that many simpsons).

what exactly does a brake warning light tell you when it works properly
........if it has an alternater it shouldnt flicker at all perhaps u have a dodgy regulator or something.....im just guessing here U2U 68autobug he will tell u he seems to know everything else about auto electrics.

i have no idea about this there could be a number of reasons for this ranging from the altenator t the regulator

Nice. Well I've been at Uni for five and a half years now, and some people say that's a bit like a holiday. Of course, I would disagree because at times it's a lot of work indeed. The summer break is really nice though. But I'm almost done now, and had better start looking for work...

Oh - does anyone know what kind of skills a garage (mechanic) would be looking for in a potential ... eh ... like trainee person kinda thing?

willingness to work and learn, not minding the fact of getting greasy and dirty, good with their hands and must be mechanicly minded

Good morning to you too Barls!!

I'm at work in the city again today.

aggri1 - You spend 5 years at uni and you want to be a mechanic???
A "trainee" mechanic is called an apprentice and you go to TAFE and work at the same time for 4 years.

Oh yeah that sounds reasonable. See I'll soon have (yeah I will!) a degree in mechanical engineering, and I want to think about all sorts of possibilities, ya know, keep all options open.

I quite enjoy working on my bus, but have very little actual skill or practical experience, that's why I'd need some sort of traineeship position.

What work are you in barls? (Ya probably said elsewhere didn't ya, but I forget). Was it defence stuff?
