I just took the 300 over to Mornington to have it re-inspected for roadworthy. Apparently theres been some issues and some cars are being recalled.

Has this happened to anyone else? The 300 was first registered here last January.

Yeah i heard this from a few people now, not sure how they can "legally" require another inspection unless the car has been defected :D

Bunch or MOFO's thats what i have to say about that <_<

Transport sent out a letter of request and it detailed the legal justification. All made sense.

Oh ok, well i'll have to have a chat to ya Benno as i have a sneaking feeling i may need to do the same and dont want to get caught out!!!!

Stu,

Seems odd to me?

Any chance of getting a copy of the letter (PM me) - Ill run it through the mill.

Cheers

I had it happen to me on my last car (about 12 months ago) and I just did nothing about it and it never caught up with me...

I think it was because I went to one plance for roadworthy because I got it from the mainland and failed because of tint so I took it to dodgy bros the next day, paid again and it passed so I figured it was becuase of that :)

Yes I would have thought that there would need to be a reason why they recall a vehicle. I suspect it may be as a result of things like internal audits etc that show up issues in their internal paperwork etc. Being a gov dept I know they do have regular audits done. For example if an inspector failed to tick a box on a survey sheet then an audit would require that to be rectified. And of course the way to do that is to call the car back (AT YOUR INCONVENIENCE)!!

They wont tell you that because it makes them look like they stuffed up (which they probably have). Rather they will say "Oh we are having a blitz at the moment".

Cheers

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
