incidently on the free wheeling subject..my brother did a "safed"(spelling)course last year at work,to improve economy whilst delivering goods round the country.....hes been taught to keep revs in the green(around 2,000rpm)....and to change at 2000rpm,and to freewheel to junctions.......also block changing gears.....unladen he starts off in 1st straight to third then to 5th if possible.....saves a lot of fuel,but wouldnt work with our buses tho................oh jn buy the way guys eets 17 weeks to christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
