Oh...... well...... this is awkward then...... :unsure:

Hahaha yeah I am actually. Being in possession of a 6L SS-V throw you off the scent did it? ;)

No, not really, it is actually very Asian to argue over $41 though LOL

Type up a letter, outlining it all - and providing all the evidence to the contrary. Documented evidence etc.

At the end of the letter simply state that as it is ILLEGAL to make a FALSE report - and as such, you will not be taking the car in.

They should then drop it.

And then do the EPA car park dobbing

This. I find it ridiculous that you would even contemplate doing the test knowing well and truly your innocent.

Request to talk to management, the dummies on the phones dont know nothing about anything outside their normal work protocol/procedure.

Thanks mate. I've sent an email explaining the situation, attached with all the documents to support the fact I was not present at time of apparent sighting.

I will write a formal letter should a resolution not be reached after email and phone call.

Hahahahahaha always provides the lulz.

Best case scenario: they drop the letter and we go EPA car park dobbing

Worst case scenario: we go EPA car park dobbing

Well that's my exact train of thought. Why do the imte if I hadn't done the crime? Like someone mentioned previously, it's like putting someone in jail PRIOR to having evidence against them.

Will def be talking to someone higher up if my email doesn't get a satisfactory response.

And even when you get a satisfactory response, complain, find out and ask for a letter of apology from the person that incorrectly reported you for wasting your time and stress provided.

That way the person or police officer will think twice about willy nilly just reporting number plates

Chances of a letter of apology from EPA and Vic Police will be virtually impossible BUT, if I ever did get one, I would frame it and cherish it forever.

Email is just as valid as a typed and printed letter. So if you write a snail mail version, be angrier

Too true. Since I've been accused of being a tight ass asian, I might as well get angrier in the letter since it would've cost me about an extra $0.45 for the paper and about $0.60 for the stamp. Do noise test for $42? NO BLOODY WAY!!

Farkin awesome^

Reminds me of that story about the cop who pulled over a work cover OH&S officer on a freeway and fined him for something negligible, then got a fine himself for not wearing high vis vest on a freeway...or something to that effect.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
