I am able to supply "get me home" by pass plugs for RM's fitted with the CAV 551 automatic control panel.This plug will by-pass the automatic control and allow you to drive on semi-mode if you experience loss of control from the automatic panel.It will also allow you to select any gear whilst stationary which could be a handy diagnostic tool.The plug has been tried and tested on Cummins engined RM's but should also work on the Iveco variety,but I will also test this it as soon as possible.I expect the cost of the plugs to be @ £40 plus P & P; or I will wire up your own plug if you'd rather.Any interest?

Excellent news and the price is about right , well done Steve . A useful item to carry ' just incase '' every ' 551' fitted bus owner should have one in their tool box ..

That's a good price J&S want £80.00 plus VAT. These plugs are defenetly worth carring in your bus, I had problems with RML 902 a few weeks ago but had a plug with me & got home safe otherwise it would have been 35 miles in 2nd gear! Paul.

Steve, e-mail me your address off the forum so I can post you a cheque as I'll buy one as well. I'll also see if Michael Roulston is interested in buying them for his four RMLs and Neil Scullion for his RML2484.
