Roadys are the biggest crock of bullshit in the world as far as I am concerned. I just went through the punish of getting one on my 32 when I sold it. They pulled me up for:
- Front tyres ( camber wear, 2 month old $550 pair of tyres, inside cm, yes 1cm! of tread is below 1.5mm, rest is as new! wtf the tread tapers at the edges anyway?) what did I do I replaced them with a cheap old, hard, half worn pair of taxi tyres and they passed!
- Rust/crack in the rear qtr, 5 minutes of filler and touchup paint and its magically ok now?
- Worn steering wheel, $10 supercheap cover and that was ok then?
- Windscreen, because it's the original one so it's pretty old? WTF! not because it was chipped or broken or anything, because it's the original? Changed that.
- Wiper blades, but I put new wiper blades in last night? Didn't change them, just said I did when I took it back and it was ok.....work that one out?
- blocked window washer, one out of 4, pin, poke, unblocked.....maybe the only legit thing...
So really tell me, how does that make my car more roadworthy? cos those taxi tyres were f**kin poo in comparison to the semi's......
Anyway enough with the ranting, and on with my info Bit late now but you should have got the car changed into your name while you were up there buying it if he supplied u with a roady. All you need to do is have a garaging address up there you can give them, and the contact details/proof of address of the person living there. Then when you come back here there is no need for a roady to get it transfered as its in ur name there.
Out of interest what sort of things you ben pulled up on, might be able to help out.
