Hey Ross,
How did you get your insurance company to pay for a mechanical failure
like that?? I've never known insurance companies to fork over for
these sorts of things.

Hi,
I agree ,I was fortunate. The failure was agreed to be software system failure and they paid for the resultant damage, which was mechanical.
Unfortunately, I am NOT always that lucky !! At least not with Blue Bird -- but I'm working on it!
