Need A Driver...merrylands Areas, Top Dollar For 10 Mins Drive


Recommended Posts

yeah but i'm pretty sure you are allowed to drive an unregistered car to a place specifically for work related to its repair and road worthiness aslong as it is withing a certain distance of the origin.

cant recall the details

Your right, you don't need a permit, they are only for travelling long distances without insurance/rego ect...

if it needs a blue slip you can drive it to your closest blueslip mechanic, if it needs rego you can drive it to your closest RTA. Providing you have all the documents with you that you are going to need to get blue slip/rego done.

I did it yesterday on a car without any numberplates and it sticks out like red dogs balls, I even drove past a general duties officer and he didn't do anything.

If you know someone with a trade plate, that might help.

I drove an 8tonne truck from Auburn to Appin with a trade plate, it was passed the blue slip....... needed a new engineers cert.

waraka

can mod please edit out my mobile number in the first post, than delete this thread thanks.

getting lots of prank calls?

oh and how did it go? would have done the whole thing for 40 bucks...

Driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle is also an offence attracting on the spot infringement notice fines of at least $1012 ($506 for being unregistered and $506 for being uninsured). If the matter goes to court, the maximum fine is $2200 for driving unregistered and $5500 for driving uninsured.

Not heaps relevant, but unreg is now $516, and uninsured is also $516. and if you're a real smartass, there's a "not pay road tax" which is also $516.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
