I will get a receipt off the guy etc plus all the shipping docs. I think you will struggle to get it registered here without proper paperwork: Proof of ownership You need to provide evidence that you're the legal owner of the vehicle. This can include: the original documents showing the ownership history to the last registered owner in Australia (eg deregistration or change of ownership papers) and an invoice, bill of sale or receipt, etc. https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/importing-a-vehicle/step-2-evidence/used-vehicles-from-australia/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibirdman Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 If my car fails a WOF do I have to take it back to the original inspection place. Can I go to another place and get it reinspected within the 28 day repair period. Beware ranting ahead my wife's car ended up at the the dealers for a gearbox issue. While it was there they gave it a warrant check without asking me, and it failed on some stuff (light bulbs blown) that I would have found and fixed before it was taken to the usual spot. This pissed me off because it was booked into the local guy who is 10 mins walk away and typically rechecks take 5 mins plus paper work. The recheck, including driving to the dealer, waiting around and driving home killed the best part of 2 hours. I did spit the dummy about doing the WOF without asking so got it for free but would have much preferred to have paid the money and got 2 hours of my life back. I had it in my head that because it failed that I had to go back to where the check was done or wait until 28 days is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I got charged for having headlights adjusted while having wof done. I asked them why didn't they check the switch that raises or drops the beams,it was a Nissan taken to a Nissan dealership for wof ffs....they said no worries,I had to make a point of asking them to fix the problem they caused,and re reset the level to where they were in the first place. No clue. 2 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MightyJoe Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 i have a female friend that got a shopping list of fails on her classic mini and she rang me up in tears because she couldn't afford the repairs, i took the job on for parts cost ( i know i'm an idiot) but there was nothing wrong with any of it. cunt was just trying his luck. i cleaned the brakes out ( drums all round), greased everything that was greaseable and took it to my guy with the previous fail sheet and the story, told him if he failed it i'd fix whatever he wanted. 2 hrs later he phoned me up and said ' no, you were right joe, thats just how they are'. it cost another $45 but was worth it in smug points. i fucking hate garages that rinse women on car stuff. /sharn sorry, i came here to ask something else. 7 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJoe Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 i'm planning on freshening up the underside of my triumph soon, the underside is the old teal green colour and also oily, scummy and 45ish years old so i was going to clean it all up and paint it black. will anyone get funny about this at wof time? i plan on dropping all the suspension, leaving whatever factory coating is there already and cleaning and painting it. i'm not using anything heavy or bitumous etc like a deck liner, just a satin black rattle can probably. i'm going to be replacing the bushings and clean up the entire suspension upgrading and replacing as it needs. but i dont want to get any kick back from trying to hide something etc. is it worth the effort?

AllTorque Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 @MightyJoe do it. I would rather look at a nice clean underbody than years of oil leaks. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ul9601 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I got failed on headlights being selective yellow (gotta have yellow on French cars eh) - virm says it's gotta be substantially white or amber. I had spare bulbs anyway so I swapped out rather than arguing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dspec_tt131 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Where can I find tyre manufacturers specs for maximum width allowed? Have tried google but no luck. Looking for a 195/65/14 that's allowed on a 7.5" rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 They are often listed on the manufactures sites (eg found them for toyo in 30 seconds) . Doubt you will find a one stop shop for all tyres though, so need to do some digging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
