hey so i did a quick search and the results where a little bit old.

im being told different things as was expected, but id like to know what you guys think.

i got a yellow last week, plumbd back my bov and put new tyres on, and now am ready to go over the pits.

now i know it all depends on what inspector u get and what sort of mood he is in,

but what experiences have u guys had?

which pits would u recomend i go to? midland/welshpool ect.

Pick an inspection centre and go there. They are all much of a muchness. As in every other thread you would have found in your search, some guys prefer one centre, others prefer another centre etc etc etc. You wont get a FIRM answer here.

My suggestion is make sure everything on your car is passable (BOV, ride height etc) and make sure everything works (headlights, horn, brake lights etc) , give the car a clean up and make it look respectable.

Then, go to the pit closest to you and good luck to you.

Cheers :)

Tristan, You will probably get alot of those comments. DO a very quick scan through this forum and you will find 5 or 6 threads complaining about getting yellow stickers etc....hence Karls 'useful' comment :)

p.s. Karl was dropped at birth so its not his fault...he is just a 'special bogan' :)

I think everyone is over these threads, but we have been getting a lot of stickers lately, so i guess its to be expected. Might as well help Tristan out, never know when one of us is gonna need help.

Tristan i would say Brad is pretty much spot on, everyone will give you a different answer about where to go, so just go to the most convenient one for you. Make sure everything is working, especially your park lights, they dont even like dull park lights, they gotta be bright. Just listen to the instructor and do what he tells you, basically if everything is legal then you are going to pass, the inspectors are usually quite good.

Good luck man

so i went to welshpool today.

the guy said the cop is stupid and does not understand why he put down the things he did.

but gave me a small list and 3 weeks to fix

my steering wheel is to small? lol never heard of this 1, its jus a rando momo wheel i think duno, was on it when i got the car.

1 of my mufflers hangs below 100mm although rest of car is well above

he said there is a small oil leak, rectify and degrease. how do i fix this? spose see where it coming from and go from there?

and my tyres are not complied?

but all in all was a good result, no imissions test :P although im freakn out about next time i go, he might add that on lol

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
