AGREEMENT BY A LICENSED DRIVER WHO IS TESTING A VEHICLE

I acknowledge that by asking for, and participating in a test drive, I am responsible for...

1) all damage to the test vehicle if I am "at fault" or cannot identify nor have details of the person "at fault"

2) damage that is caused by the vehicle in my control

3) theft or loss of the vehicle

4) all fines, regardless of when issued by the relevant authority during the test drive according to the times and date below

Start Time & Date.....................................................................................................................................................................

Finish Time & Date...................................................................................................................................................................

Furthermore, I state that in such an event, I will pay for the costs of repairs to the vehicle &/or property collided with, subject to the lesser of 2 agreed quotes including...

a) actual cost of repair

b) any towing fees

c) any excesses

d) any fines

e) cost of replacement vehicle of similar condition if required

In the case of a catastrophic incident where the cost to repair, is greater than the asking price of the vehicle, I am willing to pay that purchase price within 14 days.

Identification:-

Licence Number............................................................... (and I consent to a facsimile of the licence which will be deleted after an incident-free test drive).

Name.................................................................................................................................

Signature .......................................................................................................................... Date......../........../..........

Owner................................................................................................................................

Signature .......................................................................................................................... Date......./.........../..........

Vehicle VIN......................................................................................................................... Registration Number ........................................

I signed something similar to this 2 days ago whilst doing a test drive > I've upgraded it.

Essentially, it's a 'You break it - you pay for it' contract.

If you are selling a vehicle and find this document useful, go for it!

Hehe...

I baulked when I first sighted it Dale.

And when I brought the car back, I had to remind the owner to let ourselves to sign off.

Hmmm, apparently a car of his got pinched before; and perhaps the thief arrived in an already stolen car of lesser quality.

He's an architect; not a lawyer - but I don't know where he got this drawn up. It had a few holes in it - and it still does; but it's the best I can do at the moment. I know for instance that you can't get a 17 year old or at the other end of the scale, an Alzheimer's sufferer to sign such a document.

Very useful, i remember having to sign something like this when test driving a car from a dealer;

also Terry, are you able to disclose what wheels you were sussing out?

I used a document just like this one when i sold my last skyline and my bike a few weeks ago. Why wouldn'w you use something to protect yourself in the event that some tool comes along and crashes your pride and joy.

There are some dodgey buggers out there that will never pay up in the event of an accident and this seemed to scare a lot of them away in my experience.

Well worth it!!

Good idea from a private sale point of view - I sell used cars and we have a similar form to fill out but only in the event of a loan car. Basically says the same thing, you damage it you pay for it.

It also lists the km's the car had when it left the yard, customers details eg name, number, licence details, address. Time car left yard, time came back on the yard and signed off.

I can amend Post #1

So,...

Should I insert a space for Odometer reading - before and after?

Not sure about that.

Actually, it might be helpful eh; if the car was stolen > upon retrieval, police could have 1 extra piece of data?

And if the driver went through a Speed Camera 10Kms away - again an extra piece of data for the vendor?

Thoughts?

I think it would be helpful. Especially like you said, when the driven runs a red light or gets a speeding ticket.

That way the one responsible is the one who takes the consequences as they should.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
