Ok.....
Put my car over the pits today.
In WA it costs 50 odd bucks, this gets you only 'one' go...not two as it used to be (another money grabbin Gov scam!)....$150 if a SEVS car (I know this because they tried to charge me it)
This bit of compliancing / licensing process is going to change dramatically for everyone no matter what state your in, as your Pit experiance is pretty much directly effected by the inspector you get (Some things dont change)
For me I got one hell of an old Miserable barst*d that I dearly wanted to punch in the head, especially after a few remarks about the age of my vehicle and why I would want one as most people sell cars at 15years because there 'Heaps of Sh*t', and a few other surly ****y remarks.
Anywho he took all of 5 mins looking at it 2 was spent looking for the engine number, 1 was spent trying to enter and exit the vehicle (old prick!) the other 2 he checked all lights, checked fuel filler neck, looked underneath and got me to go lock to lock on steering. That was it, didnt check seatbelts, tyres or placard, rear child restraint points etc.
(Basically I think he just went with what was on the engineers report)
Still failed my car due to not having an approved imobilzer fitted (Has car alarm) so have to take it back tommorow and quewe for another 30mins to pay another $50! to get licensed.....I HATE THE PITS!.
