If tinted windows are all that is detailed in the letter then that is all that Vicroads will check. You can remove tint yourself with a hair dryer, or call a tint place and get some lighter tint put on (they'll remove the old at the same time).

I've never had much faith in some cops ability to use the "tint meter"... ...I've had them get anything from 15 to 73... ...And that's just from moving from the right to the left... ...And then a 1/4...

If you've got dirty windows it can give a false reading... ...I've got stock tint on my 33 and it's even faded because you can see the SAU Vic sticker "shadow" after I removed them... ...And they still sometimes tell me it's too dark...

Did you ask them which windows at the time they pulled you over? It'll most likely be your side windows and probably the rear.

Your windscreen most likely won't be tinted...no tint place would do that for you because it's illegal to put any tint on the windscreen.

I got defect notice for tinted windows when i bring back to vicroad will they check for everything on my car or just the windows

The question has already been answered.

If tinted windows are all that is detailed in the letter then that is all that Vicroads will check.

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.

      Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?

      My BMW 335i

      I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Kip · Posted

      Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.

      Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
