  1. Door fixed.

    Ended up adjusting the catch on the front door so it stopped the door earlier and its cleared it right up.

    Took it for a drive round the neighbourhood and ran out of gas as I was reversing it back into the driveway. Note: do not trust the fuel gauge hahaha.

    Seems to have picked up a slightly more aggressive oil leak than before from the front of the motor.

    I'll attempt a WOF, then hunt out oil leak.....

  2. I'd defend it. Look at the evidence, look at the exact wording of the law, and find a way to create reasonable doubt. Your lawyer's advice is a cop out. It means for them they don't have to do any real work and you have no expectation of what is a successful outcome. The lawyer still gets paid. If you defend and lose, you will lose your license. If you plead guilty with a sob story, you will still lose your license. I see only one shot at a positive outcome

     

    Based on the situation at hand, i feel that would be unwise and a total waste of the courts time and ends up just costing more in lawyer fees.

     

    Not slagging off the Police or anything (they're doing their job), but you're pushing shit up hill in court when it's your word against a sworn officer on duty...unfortunately.

  3. Same shit happened to me once about 15 years ago.

    I was wrongly accused of asking to get a valuation done on a property and was taken to court for $800

    Had all my ducks in a row also the other guy had a "bigger" pile of paper work and the judge ordered me to pay the $800

     

    I told both the judge and the property valuer to eat a dick and thanks for wasting my afternoon.

    I walked out and didn't pay a cent.

    Never heard anything about it again.

     

    So i dunno who enforces the payment ?

    The court didn't and neither did the other guy.

    I think maybe i got lucky.

    if memory serves me correctly, the winning party (or their solicitor) sends you a letter of demand for the amount ordered by the court. If you dont pay by the date they go back to court and get a court ordered payment demand signed and stamped, and then you have that served on the person who owes the money. an affidavit is then done by the person who served it. if the person then doesn't pay by that point they can look into court ordered ways to reclaim the money, either by liquidating you, seizing assets, making withdrawals from savings accounts, deductions on your salary etc etc. its a pretty long process and to do it properly requires a bit more stuffing round at court, so chances are the lawyers bill to do the paper work to enforce the debt would've been more than the debt to collect so they wrote it off.

  4. hokay boys, worked out what it was.

     

    I pulled the top end off and found that one side of the piston had partially crumbled away. 

    the gasket joining the bore to the bottom end is not symmeterical, and person who rebuilt it whacked the gasket on wrong way round, so one half of the gasket was overhanging the chamber and the piston was rubbing up and down against it, which caused one side of the piston to have a cry. 

    Luckily the bore looks smooth as still, but the piston and gasket is poked. 

     

    anyone had experience with Aliexpress pistons? hahah
