dear van troubles
what year of bus is it
next course of action would be as kenneth suggests
laying under neath to see what happens
then report the diagnostic findings back to group
it could be as simple as a c clip let go or a kotter pin wore
could be linkage issues
gosh it will be great when every one has a video camera in their hands
and submits the diagnostics .. as things are presently
we are saying i have a dog
it was running from the back field with my son
both were hunting grouse
the dog coughed excessively and then farted ...
on my way to vet what should i expect

responses so far ...
dog must have been shot by son expect big $$$ to retrieve buckshot
dog must have been stung by bee expect moderate $$ to remove stinger
dog has clearly gone rabid .. better put it down before you get to vet
...lucky no one was killed or injured
my dad had a dog that did that and he was on a hunting trip too ... cost him
plenty
then the dog died at the side of the road from the result of indigestion

i sure hope that the fellow with the troubled bus finds his self in a shop
that is run by decent folks
and that the owner of the van and his family enjoy regina
home of the RCMP (Royal Canadian  Mounted Police )
and the Roughriders of the CFL
;o)
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
