ok i understand your point about "fraud" (as it is a contract it is actually misrepresentation).

but consideration is still needed, and $1 for a car isnt sufficient consideration. most courts will rule that no contract existed unless SUFFICIENT consideration is offered.

and my opinion is based on case study.

He has about 0 chance of getting his money back from yourself and getting your mechanic to fix the problem.

A RWC is very very limited in what you need to check for.

Brake pads only have to have X amount of thickness, same for rotors etc.

Oil leaks cannot be visible at time of inspection (do you know how easy it is to degrease & Wash engine, get inspected and pass)

And the RWC Inspector cannot fail the vehicle, same for rust, paint over or bog rust and it cannot be failed (It must be visable)

I would never trust a roadworthy it says nothing about a vehicles condition other then it meets the minimum requirements which is very minimal!

I used to work for a major company doing roadworthies and its scary what can get through if you go by the book! We used to make people fix dodgy items that had tried to be hidden for the inspection etc... As it's more of your reputation you are protecting, not a legal issue.

Only times i have seen a company get done for a dodgy roadworthy, was a car was passed with visible rust in the chassis and rotors no thicker then a pencil. And issues that couldn't of been changed or altered. Hell the car could have a leaking head gasket and still pass roadworthy!

Most inspectors will turn around and say (especially months later) that the vehicle wasn't in that condition when inspected and then it must be proven it was which is bloody impossible for oil leaks or electrical failures, mechanical failures etc

My rule of thumb was always get a vehicle inspected by a performance workshop or trusted mechanic (Comp test and leak down tests are a must)

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
