I had my RMC inspected by the RTA last June and they knocked me back on several items, most major as far as they were cocerned but pedantic and minor in everyone elses eyes.
These items have now been addressed and the car was inspected by my Engineer last week and found to comply with everyone of the relevant ADR's. His revised report should be ready shortly.
I then have to book it in with the RTA for its second inspection which I hope will be successful and the VIN No., issued shortly after.
My question is:-
There is a new RTA/Engineer procedure coming in throughout NSW early in 2011. Many of the current Engineers are opting out and don't want anything to do with the revised system. A rumour is circulating that no new ICV's including Clubmans have been passed by the RTA in NSW for over 4 months and that they are waiting for the new system to commence. In other words, they are rejecting cars on quite minor issues, not passing any as roadworthy and will be doing that until the new system is up and running.
If anyone has heard anything to the contrary or knows of any ICV's that have passed inspection in the past 4 months, could you please advise on this thread.
On a lighter note, I had the Cobra parked outside my home today when a couple of passing lovlies stopped to admire it. I am beginning to love my car more and more. Here are some pics....
