Car Defect Notice Valid?

Hello, 

Not sure if this is posted in the right section but I have been unable to find out anything about my question anywhere and it may seem silly but does anyone know if a defect notice becomes invalid when they don't fill in the correct information.

Example: wrong vin number, wrong license number and no engine number

It actually states on the form I received that 'where a chassis number used a engine number must be recorded and a section for the engine number under it which was left blank.

It's a new defect on a big registered car which has no problems, the cops right from the start were rude, arrogant and aggressive when I questioned anything they said, and yes I called the nsw police and they said they didn't know and had to call back to ask the ticketing officer if it's valid, not that he can actually give a proper awnser on it as he has a conflict of intrest

There's no way you would ask the cop, of course he would say its valid. Its fact, police do make mistakes and issue notices in error so worthwhile to push further and seek legal advice if you believe this is the issue.

In the vin he wrote BCR33 but it's ECR33, they only put down 6 of the 9 numbers for my license as well, I will be seeking legal advice on it but curious if anyone else has had this happen to them, wensday next week I have a solicitors appointment, it's still a pretty big screw up on their part though, my wife called vic police and they actually said if I removed the yellow sticker the new defect wouldn't show up on their systems and wouldn't care less, I didn't have my license on me as our friend was in hospital and we were in a rush but when I told him that he didn't even ask me my name, d.o.b, or address

Certainly don't ask the cop - he will just issue another notice with the correct details. Hope you got a name from the cop who advised you to remove the yellow sticker. Solicitor will clarify legal position for you. If you didn't give him your name and address and he has your licence number wrong I wouldn't think it will be a problem. Especially if you are sure that the defect notice is wrong anyway.

If it becomes a problem for the cops my semi educated guess is that they will apply to amend (correct) the notice. Everything is weighted in favour of the police who make mistakes all the time.

Yeap, and then they will most likely make sure the inspection is, lets say, extremely thorough.

If I was the cop/traffic authority that's what I would do.

Just clear the defect and frame it for posterity.

I had a collection of them in my youth.

Or fight it, but keep uninformed.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      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...

      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.
