Wow, that all looks very exciting. I’m sure everything will happen down to the minute as indicated in the agenda. I really must get my secretary to confirm my accommodation. (Anyone have a spare Air B&B bed going)

Needs a third axle

Don’t need a cert to switch to flat deck/send it. Dimensions: https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-exterior/dimensions (see tables and images) You can have 4m past the rear axle.

Nah, I don’t think so.

That doesn’t look dangerous to me.

Thins angle shows the ‘stretch’ better. I suspect most wof inspectors wouldn’t think there was a problem there.

Yes

As a WOF guy I have seen stretched tyres that I thought would fail, but were ok according to the LVVTA tyre chart, so if they are outside of the tyre chart specs they must be obviously super stretched and you should fail. Bloody kids these days. Get off my lawn.

EGR no rules. DPF if first registered before 2010 can delete. Post 2010 can be legal with an emissions test.

That could be a factor to your fault code

Should be. Do you have a scan tool? The reason I ask about the oil level is this may be how the fault code is triggered. Diesel diluted oil will raise the oil level.

Any other codes or lights on the dash. Is the oil level perfect (do not overfill). Oil gets diluted by diesel when it does a dpf regen. It should evaporate after some hot (highway) driving.

How are the ball joints?
