I have just been for my warrant, it failed on rust which required complete new welding of both a pillars which was pretty bad. I went back today with my receipt and he tells me a split cv boot is what is now failing me!

I checked out whether that was possible and apparently VIN have sed 'only if grease leaks onto the brake, which it is not

I went to the same place 6months with all that rust and it was EVERYWHERE and i passed no sweat

Can i go back to him and tell him to give me mah dam warrant? Just because i work 6 days a week its kind of impossible to get any time off to get it fixed.
(I no its only a cv boot, but i thought id just let everyone no anyway)

any help would be great

No you can't just go back and tell them to give you 'your damn warrant' as they would just tell you to 'kindly $&#$% off'.

If it's broken get it fixed so that you can pass a warrant...simple as that. If you're at work then just take it in to someone who can fix it whilst you are at work and pick it up afterwards or fix it on your day off...

Engage brain before engage fingers. :roll:

The CV boot being split is not part of a warrant checksheet.
The point here is not that his CV boot is split, but that he was failed because of it, which should not have happened.

I'd calmy questioned as to why he failed you on an item that does not contribute to the passing or failing of a warrant.

If its the INNER cv then they can fail you... Easy job either way.. Just messy.

but u should fix it nice and promptly b4 too much sh*t gets in there and then it becums a cv joint to be replaced aswell , y not just fix it and be done wit it , and if it has a crack then doesnt it have the ability to squirt grease everywhere

Well obviously they failed him so it needs to be fixed. :roll:

Why bother causing hassles over something so small....if there's something wrong then fix it before it gets worse...I thought that would be the obvious thing to do instead of waiting till it breaks/fux out completely if you know there is a 'potential' problem...

Well they can't fail you for a split CV boot, even for an inner CV.

Although you should fix it ASAP you should have your WOF with no trouble.

Go back and ask him to show you where in the VIRM it says he can fail for that. If this causes a problem ask to speak to the Manager. If this is still too hard then ask him to show you where the complaints procedure is (this is required by LTSA to be in the reception or public area so you should be able to find it) and there will be a phone No. to contact LTSA, call it and go from there.

or he could just fix it , and end of story

it doesnt say u have to , but y not just fix it and save further hassles

by **NZ_AE86** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 6:29 pm

Yeah he should fix it!

But the $&#$% WOF guy should not be able to fail cars for shit that he has no right to! Just get sick of the No. of people that go to VTNZ and get bullshit fails!

But yeah it should just be fixed and make the problem go away!

yea i think adamal more understood what i meant-as in CAN you fail for this not its bin failed so fix it. def asking nicely is gonna get a lot further than being nasty.
Just the inconsistency of their work too, with my car being a rust bucket and passing

i was going to get it fixed just i cant do that till prob two weeks away and where i work there is main coppa station within walking distance

chance of them seeing my car's warrant would be possible

by **Alex B** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 7:11 pm

if ya can afford to get it fixd get it done, if ya cant right now fight it last i herd its not part of the warrent as people above have said

by **Adamal** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 7:12 pm

I'm in the same boat as NZ_AE86 here.
Sure, I believe its something that should be rectified, but its not about that. It's about a person that is granted the ability by the LTSA to determine whether or not a car meets a given set of standards using their power in an incorrect manner.

SK, just cause he failed it doesn't mean that its a failable item

If someone failed you because you had your window wound down, would you just say "Yes sir! Ok, I'll fix that up and come back to you later with another $30!"?

by **NZ_AE86** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 9:05 pm

Yeah, it is the abuse of power that gets to me. Kinda like a cop making some crap up that is not really an offence and even if it costs you no money it is the wasted time that can't be made up.

In this case the extra trip to the WOF guy might take an hour out of Sleeper_rolla's day. Now to me an hours Labour is $67.50 and to some it is much more but whatever it is the WOF guy is not going to pay for this even though he is wrong! If he had done his job in the first place then everyone would be happy! :twisted:

yea your rite thanks for all tha support lol maybe i should print out this forum and show him itl scare him into giving me that sticker :twisted:

it wasnt the point of whether it was faulty or not just the question of whether it can be failed on just that or not. I am going to get it fixed but 2mro morning i am going to see him and have a talk bout it and 'quote the vin book' to him but if not ill just get it fixed
It wasnt a biggie i just wanted to post a forum!

Last time i saw a car go through VTNZ, the guy kindly noted that the CV boots where split (all of them

) but didn't fail on them.

by **92GTApex** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 3:03 am

Last warrant I got a warning for "hole in l/f cv boot" (mate we know did the wof check)
6 months later I take it 4 its next wof and buy cv boot at the same time, he says "ahh i wouldnt even worry about it its only a pin hole..."
Gotta love some of the relaxed people around

I'm just saying that if it needs fixing then fix it and don't worry about it. :wink:

Ok so in that sentence could you please explain to me where I said it's a failable item?

I said they failed him so he needs to fix it....I did not add any reference to wether it is a failable item or not...

By saying that, you are agreeing that it is a failable item, otherwise you wouldn't have said that he NEEDS to fix it, would you?
