mine was triple defected and they gave me permits to drive to a place of repair

it will just cost you $50 everytime you get a permit to drive to and from a certain place for that day

but did your car have rego ? would be alot easier that way forsure.

+ I get to drive my car again :P

I had it registered but then after august the rego ran out

so i drove around in september for a bit with permits and no registration

coz when you pay permit you pay CTP insurance as well i think its a third part one

When I got defected, I got told that I had to tow the car anywhere and everywhere...

What the....that cop must have been on some good shit

yeah I expect to get pulled over.

I was pulled over 3 times in oneday once with a single defect sticker on.

I was told by some people that a double defect is worse and Id need to get towed.

glad I know now.

That's crazy dude. I drove around for a good 5 weeks or so with a double defect and never got pulled over (I had a permit).

I even drove around the GTR before it was even registered in Australia on permits with no number plates and not a single cop pulled me over. I even drove past a few and had a few follow me! It's weird how it all works...

$48 for place of repair permit, (can be used for up to 3 days of driving)

just put on there that you are taking it to one place of repair (up north) and one down south using all main roads.

Doesnt matter if car is unregoed, mine was.

happy driving

right. sorted.

got the permit for tomorrow.

I knew you could get em, just didnt know you could get em if you were unregistered.

:)

I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

You expected any sort of honesty out of a government dept? :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
