My Stag Got Canaried

gps is illegal anyway, same as a dvd player. There are lots of laws they don't enforce.

The things they got you for are all legit, tires is just STUPID, BOV off for flutter=noise polution and makes the car run shit...

I have been pulled over at random times when heading down to rye for the weekend(3am on friday nights lol), been in my gf's supra, and they never checked the car, and were all nice guys.

well they r not goin to pull me inot a roadworth station and not check my car are they, of the 5-8 cops that were goin over my car there were good and bad ones.. they had to get me for somthing... it was my stupid trust zorst that got the attention and got me pulled in, plus the black rims so it didnt quite look like a volvo anymore... in the end they didnt even pick on the zorst.. tyres i didnt know were unroadworthy.. i dont check them every morning...

Your dvd player is legal - as long as the screen is disabled when you take the handbrake off. You arent allowed to have a screen in the drivers line of sight that is operational while the car can be moving. Handbrake trigger switch - 9/10 dvd players have a wire out the back for such a purpose. If it has just been run straight to a ground point, ur screen can constantly be on. Not allowed.

You should be allowed to NOT run a BOV. It sounds like you just have a cover plate over the mounting point on the inlet? As long as there is nothing that vents directly to atmosphere there should be no problem to my knowledge, but am happy to be corrected there. They cannot say that the flutter noise is noise pollution - it is not loud or constant enough. Seen that one fought and won many a time.

As far as the Xenons go - yeah as above. Legal, as long as they self clean and level. If they dont, say goodbye.

whats the coke can thing? you actully going to mount a coke can in place of your bov?

and secondly about hdi lights. auto leveling system my arse. i live out near hunter valley vineyards and i can ashure u the auto levling system dosen't work on any car on the goat track roads we have around here. many a time i have been travling home with a high class european car following me and i think it's a cop, cos it looks like blue and red high beams flashing me in the rearview mirror. no one around here is going to be smart enough to tell the diffrence between mine and a bmw. just tell the cops i thought they where converted in complicing if they askor tell em they have auto levelling. and if your comming to a defect station or rbt put your dvd screen away.(nobrainer)

you use the metal from a cut up can inside the BOV... do a search on it for pix

Coke can thing - i found this.

What you do is remove your factory bov. You will find a gasket that is used to seal it to ur intake pipe. Basically, using this gasket as a template, cut a coke can to bits so you can use the aluminium sheeting to create another gasket but without the hole in the middle for ur bov. Then mount your BOV back with this in place and voila you have a foactory looking setup that is really a dose pipe.
