You must have had your baseball cap on backwards-sideways or some other blatant hoon behaviour.

Fight the powers!, I hope the judge gives the cop a serve for clogging the legal system with such frivolous crap.

What a joke.

i also said sorry for taking the courts time for such a small matter - the judge seemed to appreciate that

because our cars attract attention. and becuase half the skyling drivers in the world are wankers that drift and skid on public streets?

it's shit, but it's easy to see how the stereotype came about. and let's face it. 4/5 imports pulled over are probably defectable.

The other scam they pull is not having a spare tyre in the vehicle.... They tryed to pull that on me. I explained to them that I would take the fine and see them in court explaining to them that it is not a defect and they should pull over the new BMW's, Merc's and VW's as they come with a can of spray as the spare or a flat tyre straight tyre out of the factory....If you have a spare it must have legal tread (doesn't have to be pumped up) if there is no spare they cannot do a thing... Helps when you worked in the industry....They decided not to give me the fine and did a RBT instead funny that.....

talk to your lawyer, thats what you've paid him for.

I have never been to court before, but presumably whenever you were going to ask for another 2 weeks, just say something like "the police have failed to provide me with the documents that I have requested and am legally entitled to and as such has wasted another one of my days, and more of the courts time. I wish to ask for the case to be dismissed so I dont have to waste more of the courts time in dealing with a bogus offense."

again, talk to your lawyer - i may have it all wrong ^_^

Thanks matey

Unless you kick your lawyer in the arse and get him moving he will be quite happy to drag it out as long as the cops want to. Remember, He gets paid every time he does something on your behalf.

he may have you convinced that hes on your side but believe me, He isnt. He is on his side.

oh nice

my lawyers ok

he advised me he doesent have to attend to adjournments to save me $$$

but i dont mind spending the money to see how this all pans out

it will be good for all of us to take a look at the system and decide if it will be worth fighting that misinformed bigot cop

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
