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

    • 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.
