Good one Nik, how was the maiden voyage - worth the effort.
Will be awesome to get a few together for a cruise down there.

cheers guys for the kind words, few drives today, trying to get my head around the driving pozzie and steering. Bus seems to wonder on the road and I 'm sure why? Steering box, a arms are tight with no play but once on the road it seems to need input to keep it straight. Any ideas?

Toe out will do that, may need another wheel alignment, do you have a setting on your airbag system for drive height. Ian

ahh right, I'll play around with the toe in/ out creative said to have set dead straight. Yes setting 2 is ride height and that's where its adjusted too.
