Re: ***BUS WANTED***
When I was looking for an 80 series, there don't seem to be any that have triple diff lock and 3 rows of seats, cheapest way to get both was to buy a triple diff lock and have a 3rd row installed after. 3K for lockers, $2K for seats

Yeah that was another option I was considering. To open up my options more, I was even thinking of updating a 5 seater with a cert'd 3 point belt for the rear center.

With the school run, I've ended up taking the passenger side rear seat out, so two boys in the third row, one in the middle and one in the front,. Makes access much easier and stops mud on seats from them climbing over
I'd be interested to know how you get on with the centre one. Didn't think of that at the time.

Re: ***BUS WANTED***
Solved my problem.
Picked up a 5 seat VX Cruizer. Since the kids are still fairly young I'm going to use the 5 point harness option for the middle position. Once they get over 35kg I'll install the 3rd row.
Adding a 3 point belt to the center just isn't viable.
Just Cruisers down south sell the 3 seat row kit for about $1200 and the certifier said it isn't a big issue in certifying this after market addition.

Big end bearings been done?
Check around Steering box for cracks
Check under battery for winter preheater thingy which has been causing fires
Edit: don't reverse snatch due to high pinion front diff issues
Anything else I've missed?
