there's a great exhaust thread on exhaust stuff here on OS that I had skimmed through a while back but damned if I can find it! It was old but gold. Full of some good info.

Back box is looking great. You are such a clever cookie.

Made it home. Heater tap was the culprit. When I turned it to cold it stopped leaking. Fixed?
 

I suppose I should show my face, as it’s in my hood.

do tyres on the same axle have to have matching ratings?

Depends if the inspector is lazy or not. They need to input the expiry when entering the wof into the computer.

even comes with hot air induction. I wonder if the factory air filter is still in the air box.

Re dash lights, check your alternator and battery. Often when there are codes everywhere it causes by low voltage. A lot of modern cars will turn off the alternator when idling until there is enough electrical load.

V6 surf will leak oil, use all the petrol and is dereg. It’s to shagged to re-vin.

Teranno you need to check for rust under the back seat.

Are there screws on the end of the cap?

hopefully it will also leak oil like a British car

Probably not, seeing it’s Chinese.

They want plates to be mounted right way up so the smart cameras can read them. A lot of trailers have them sideways because there’s no where else to put them.

This was sent around work today. From March 24 you can new fail a WOF on your licence plates not being up to spec, and that includes the plates not being official (with the correct markings) and even goes as far as to indicate date and letter ranges for the types of plates. So if you had an aftermarket supplier convert your plates that are newer than MX#### to black, they have grounds to fail them since they know they are too modern, and don't have the reflective NZ logo of modern black plates.

It also straight up says that plates have to me aluminium, so a sticker plate now fails a WOF. Plates too dirty, fail. Plates worn or faded, fail.

Gonna be a lot of people caught by this.

This has now been postponed due to everyone saying WTF to NZTA. Especially for trailers.

“A vehicle fitted with a quick release steering wheel must always be referred for LVV certification and is only permitted within strict criteria.”

Can do.

I’m a not super close to the Hutt, if someone else volunteers.

Don’t get it too clean. You’ll be too scared to use it in case it gets dirty again. I’m sure you don’t need to be told to make sure the cooling system is 110%

Just needs one more thing…
