Just recieved a fine today (the day before christmas ;) ) for unroadworthy tires. That's not the issue, my question is are they (the fines) still valid if they are not signed by the issuing officer (or any officer in my case)? Not trying to get out of it cause they are actually unroadworthy (haven't checked them in a while) but could he have given me a christmas present by not having to pay for it.

hey mate, try PM'ing Johnny Cash...he's a law student, or a lawyer even...and seems to know his stuff....he has a thread going at the moment with police powers and our rights, so he'd almost certainly be able to help you out.

Well, for the fine to be official, it would have to be signed by the issuing officer. But in the case where they forget to, they could simply re-issue another notice with the correction. Unfortunately, you would not be able to refuse paying the fine because of a failure on the issuing officer's part to sign it. :(

Sorry for the bad news, especially at this (otherwise) festive time of year. Bad things happen to good people, and providing the fine isn't too expensive, it might be worth saving the hassle of arguing such a technicality.

The reality is, it's an administrative error, rather than an error in law, and would be quickly resolved. So, for what it's worth, you could refuse to pay it based on it not being signed, but then they would simply re-issue a notice that IS signed, and you'd have to pay it anyway. Might as well get it out of the way...

As I said in my disclaimer from the original thread, I don't guarantee ANY of this information, because I don't want to get sued if anyone relies on it to their detriment. But seeing as it's free of charge, you're welcome to it. :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
