cletus Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Short answer is no. Long answer is maybe, with a lot of fucking around. Lvvta has said you can make a new bar if you can prove it's the same as the original one. This is all we've been given, there's nothing in the rules yet, this is from training 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I should think they would need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ul9601 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 anyway i dont know what this AA guy is going on about - AA is supposed (i know they aren't really any more) to be the motorists' advocate, if stickers help as a reminder for due dates for this and that, that's the good for the motorists, their client base. the government IT system is not infallible (understatement), one time i didnt get the reminder for rego, got on the phone only to be told that it's vehicle owner's responsibility (fair enough), they are just being nice and sending me reminders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Only good thing about the stickers is that you can check what model a car is, and see when it was first reg in NZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less mucking around the better thought I may have found a work around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXFORD Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 ^ With all the privacy laws we have, I don't see how a fulltime gps tracking system like E-road or similar for ruc management/speeding etc could be passed here for private vehicles. Massive invasion of privacy not to mention a target for hacking so crims can find/follow the desirable vehicles easier. E-road already causes big problems between staff in the workplace for company vehices, so it would be a disaster for private vehicles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Might work for new cars but anything old with analog inputs it's gunna be a waste of time. If it's GPS linked then wrap that thing up in a home brew Faraday cage 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageSpecial Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I have a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 and recently had a totally flat battery. A jump got it running again fine but now the SRS warning light on the instrument panel is on and stay on. It seems in these early Discos the system will have done a check, found a low voltage and so it lights the lamp. But apparently it is not self resetting. The only way to reset it is with a dealer code reader. Not sure any dealers will have the old equipment about to do that now (I need to try try ringing them still). These cars are pre OBDII ports. There apparently is a connector to hook to but then it's a proprietary protocol so you still need a special reader to clear the code. There used to be readers available (Hawkeye and others) but they don't seem available now. There are cheap readers that claim to do it but I think most won't do the 96/97 Discos. It was only in about 1998 things started standardising. There might be someone around who has the gear to do it, maybe in a Land Rover club? I am in the Kapiti area if anyone can suggest someone. But what happens if no one can do it? As far as I can see that warning light would be a WOF failure. Is it possibly to have the system removed? Does that then need certing? Not sure how good 26 year old early air bags would be now anyway? What happens when cars get to the point where a simple software failure means you can't get a warrant anymore since the tech is too old but the vehicle still perfectly good?

AllTorque Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Don’t cheat. Just try harder to find someone with the right scan tool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
