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.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
