I need clear the defect before 24th Feb. if I keep driving the car and any blue boys pull me over before 24th Feb, I will get another defect for the same reason? or I just tell them I had one defect already then they won't give me another one again?

mate from what i know youll cop a fine for driving a defected vehicle

i think you gotta go to vicroads and get a temporary rego to drive it

hey i gotta question for you

do you need to get a full roadworthy or do you just have to fix what they said was unroadworthy and where do you have to take it

i think its depending on wat the defect is for, i would not recommend driving it though. What area was the defect given in?

As for the above question- if its a major its a full rwc otherwise for a minor just the items picked

you only fix what they said was unroadworthy, that's fine, and go to vic road and clear it before the date coming.

yeah thats no good to me cause i bought a car that was supposed to be registered and on the way home find out it had a canary put on it when the previous owner lent it to a friend and that friend didnt tell him so i dont when the date was but i found out its for the intercooler, pod filter and boost gauge i didnt know intercoolers and boost gauge were unroadworthy

intercooler and pod filter, u only can have one. all air intake system, max u can modified is one part, if u modified two parts from the air intake system, its illegal.

man, every time if u has been defected or pull overed, don't just get the fine and go away, ask any question about ur car to police. make sure u know what they are thinking. then you will know what they don't like.

I just asked my friend, he said if your car had minor,u can stick the yellow paper on ur windscrean, and u won't get any reasonable defect again before the deadline date.

the defect notice has a date which is usually 7 days after being issued. After then you can only drive ur car to the mechanics and no daily usage. U can call vic roads for an extension if u need more time but the last time I called them for an extension the girl said u actually get a 2 week grace period after the 7 days expires. Dunno if that's still in effect but call vicroads if need be.

Bottom line is don't get caught driving after the 7 days unless ur heading to a mechanic otherwise u will cop another fine

it wont be 2 months - it'll be 24th Jan, not Feb.

true that. U can get ur car raised easy. Traction Tyree and suspension in rowville did my car when I was defected for height not long ago. $140 for raise n all wheel allignment pretty cheap

yeh thing that suprised me most is time frame how'd u even get till the 24th of jan? u mean cops actually took into consideration everyone is closed at the moment? i'd have expected them to relish the thought of making you be off the road for agess unable to drive..

bad luck though but if you got coilovers its easy.

wanzi - there is no grace period you can use the car for upto a 1 month after the 7 days provided its for the purpose of to and from mechanic/repairs or vicroads themselves. after this they MAY suspend your rego.

that game from a lady from vicroads I spoke to while I was defected. Maybe she just meant unofficially as in not in the laws but they won't mind. Either way she let me get away with it

Surprise surprise...operation RAID again. However, to be fair to the cops , what did they get you for?

Operation Remove All Impaired Drivers is aimed at removing Impaired Drivers, as the name would suggest.

Isn't it something else that is on at the moment that is a blitz on ALL un-roadworthy cars?

If you have a minor for too low, you could still get a major for something else if the Officer finds something and deems it suitable for a Major defect, so do not think you are immune to a defect notice as you already have one.

They could also add to your existing defect could they not?

Don't know if you have read my other thread. However, even if they've defected you before...they can, fine you $292 again and again and again and again and again if they feel like it. In other words, even if you're defected with a yellow canary on your windscreen OR you've recently cleared it with Vicroads with a full RWC, they can still dick you if they feel like it. It's farked.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
