Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Wow, so how did it get through rego last yr, they aren't things that fail in 12 mths but deteriorate yr on yr .....
It certainly reads like the bus was not roadworthy, the crack in the diff housing is a concern ......

Terry, it was the rear diff cover that was cracked, not the housing. The bus has been checked by another company previously which no longer exists.

George, By the looks of that list, your previous pink slip provider has done you a favour by going out of business.
It might cost you a few bucks now, but what would a replacement vehicle cost if .....

If the cover cracked then it is stressed member of the diff housing

Wow, unbelievable list George just as well it's all been repaired, good that you will be able to travel safely knowing the bus is in good condition, time to go for a holiday for a few days, should be better to drive.
