Hi all, I was pulled over in an rbt this morning on northern rd on my way back from training down in shell harbour with my coach, officer asked all the usual stuff, I handed her my engineer's report did a once around the car flicked through a few pages and then after everything was good told me I needed to update my engineers report? This is the first I have heard of it and the first time I have been pulled over in the 3 years of owning my r32. One of the determining factors in buying the car was that I wouldn't have issues because I had the engineers certificate. Now I have tried to search on google and haven't had much luck, just info about the new rules and changes.

Does anyone have some info to share? I don't fancy having to go and pay for a whole lot of things to be deemed ok again if I don't have to. Was the officer unhappy with me because because I didn't add to her quoter?

Regards

Just got off the phone with my compliancer about this Jeremy.

He said that if the engineer is still listed with the RTA/RMS, your report is valid with no expiry date.

If the engineer is no longer practising, you still don't need to do anything unless you get a defect notice in the mail; and then contact my compliancer/engineer.

Have a great Christmas! Tez

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
