  3. what i payed for the car is not relevant. what i asked to be fixed from the buyer before i brought the car is. put yourself in my shoes, a car thats leaking a decent amount of oil while stationary, would you want it to be fixed especially after you specifically asked for it to be? or just kick yourself in the ass and "let it be". The power unit, clutch system, transmission system, differentials, axle housings and all associated pipelines must be properly sealed and free of dripping or flowing oil leaks onto the roadway, exhaust system or brake friction surfaces. Dampness, weeping or staining are acceptable but oil leaking from the underside of the vehicle to such an extent that it is likely to drop oil on the road surface (if the vehicle is parked or idling stationary for any length of time) is unacceptable. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/7A14DDDC-3DF3-4ADD-9821-B8C7816777A3/0/VSI26web.pdf i found out from vicroads that basically i have to try and negotiate with him. if he declines, i have to go to another workshop and get a roadworthy test done, then send the indicating problems to the mechanic. if he declines again, i have to send the 2 rwc + a letter of complaint to vicroads. thanks to those with the helpful replies
  4. I've done a bit more research and spoke to Vicroads, who don't have much to do with it. The power unit, clutch system, transmission system, differentials, axle housings and all associated pipelines must be properly sealed and free of dripping or flowing oil leaks onto the roadway, exhaust system or brake friction surfaces. Dampness, weeping or staining are acceptable but oil leaking from the underside of the vehicle to such an extent that it is likely to drop oil on the road surface (if the vehicle is parked or idling stationary for any length of time) is unacceptable. Basically I have to negotiate with the mechanic. If he says no I'm supposed to get a roadworthy test from another mechanic and show him. If he still says no I'm supposed to send in the 2 roadworthys to Vicroads along with a letter, and then form a legal team. Great to see Vicroads want nothing to do with getting shit fixed. Only when it's convenient for them to make money. It's not karma when it's only to clear defects. I'd never sell someone a car with oil leaks without fixing them myself.
  5. They were my friend too when the Skyline needed a quick fix, but this isn't the case We're not talking minor leakage/condensation/over time, we're talking not being able to distinguish which part of the sump it's leaking from because there's oil everywhere, and leaving oil drops on the floor after being parked for 30 mins. There was a couple other small things which weren't fixed that I didn't mention, like one of the tail lights not working (they weren't working before I got the car too) so it's pretty obvious it was a dodgy. I just basically want to know if anyone has gone down this road before where a mechanic refuses to fix it, so I can prepare myself.
  6. Hey guys, I just recently brought a run around car the other day. It's a 95 Civic and roadworthy was supplied from the (private) seller with the sale. When I went to test drive/check it (before I brought it) I noticed an oil leak coming from the sump area. The brakes also made driving noise (without brakes applied) and shuddered a little bit under braking. I let the seller know, and he mentioned that the mechanic who would do the RWC was his friends shop. I let the seller know that I wanted the stuff fixed since it was going to be my run around car. Anyways when I went to pick up the car the seller mentioned that his mechanic said the brakes were fine and everything was all clear. Since I was in a hurry I signed the transfer papers, got the RWC from the seller and handed over the cash; but without checking the oil or anything until I got it home. It seems that on the roadworthy the car passed the brake test (now compulsory with all RWC's) and nothing was fixed/said about the oil on the RWC. These are 2 fair problems, which I don't think the mechanic has any defense of saying they happened after he gave out the RWC. The car is still in his name since I haven't had time to transfer it over yet, and I haven't let him or his mechanic know about it yet. I'm really inclined to do something about it, so has anyone been in a similar situation where the RWC they got was dodgy? What was the outcome? What should I do? Should I go and get a roadworthy test from another mechanic and notify the mechanic who gave the dodgy one? Cheers in advance
