Defect..

[nemz]

car was defected while a mate was driving and i have since taken it to have the defect cleared, basically was a major defect to be cleared by authorised blue slip place. any ways was for blow off valve, pod, inside of tyres being warn, and also check that exhaust complies to adr standards or whatever - check is not louder then 90dB and car to have full pit inspection, any way i took it to have the exhaust level checked, then took it to a blue slip place they said they were too busy directed it to some body else, the guy i took it to said even tho my exhaust was only 86.3dB he wouldnt clear it because its not standard he said i have to have an engineer check my emissions and do a thingy for me, any way i reckon its a bit bullshit, any one done this before, if the copper wanted my emissions tested would i have not been sent to epa? im yet to take it to another place for a second opinion

they usually send the EPA letter a week or so later. you'll probably get that soon.

as long as your car checked out to be under 90db and you had proof of that when you went to get the blue slip, then there was no reason for them not to pass you.

all you need to do is comply with the standard, not be standard. you might need to explain that part to them.

also, if you get the EPA letter i suggest clearing that before going for the blue slip.

A lot of places won't pass an exhaust on a defected car, as it can come back to haunt them. A vehicle really does need to be engineered if it has any modification which can change its emissions.

Having said that, you shouldn't have too many problems passing emissions as long as you have a working cat converter.

The advantage of having an engineers certificate, combined with legal modifications, is that when you get pulled over, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

any ideas on a good engineer who dosnt cost to much?

[Brocaine]

Sorry, no idea really.

You could try calling Werner Ihle at Transport Industry Consultants, but I don't know how much he charges.

RTA website has a list of approved engineers as well.
