00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:39,533

Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Matt En Tyler. How are you?

13
00:00:43,973 --> 00:00:45,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Nice to have you Beck. So let's

14
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:48,573
Speaker 2: just let's just start with a quick chat about warrant

15
00:00:48,653 --> 00:00:52,693
Speaker 2: of fitness rules and regulations and the things people don't

16
00:00:52,732 --> 00:00:53,813
Speaker 2: always understand.

17
00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:57,453
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's I think that's how this sort of

18
00:00:57,813 --> 00:01:00,573
Speaker 3: segment got set off. I replied to a call about

19
00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:04,053
Speaker 3: a year ago with a warrant question and it was

20
00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:07,173
Speaker 3: quite interesting and popular at the time, warrants of fitness,

21
00:01:07,373 --> 00:01:09,653
Speaker 3: Like I'm an author of Air conspector so I'm a

22
00:01:09,693 --> 00:01:11,493
Speaker 3: mechanic and we do warrants as part of our job.

23
00:01:11,893 --> 00:01:14,253
Speaker 3: There's a lot of misconceptions and a lot of myths

24
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:17,293
Speaker 3: around warrants, and I'll cover one of them. The first

25
00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:20,573
Speaker 3: important one is I've got a iron on my car.

26
00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:23,293
Speaker 3: I'm all good, and you might be, but you might

27
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:26,053
Speaker 3: not be. A warrant of fitness is a visual inspection.

28
00:01:26,292 --> 00:01:28,493
Speaker 3: It's a safety cheek, but it's only a visual inspection.

29
00:01:28,533 --> 00:01:32,493
Speaker 3: We can only check what we can visually see without

30
00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:34,773
Speaker 3: removing any parts. Now, we are allowed to remove parts,

31
00:01:34,813 --> 00:01:37,573
Speaker 3: but we're not required to remove any parts. Right. Things

32
00:01:37,652 --> 00:01:41,413
Speaker 3: wear out. Tires wear out, bulbs, blow breaks wear out.

33
00:01:42,373 --> 00:01:44,613
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. The legal minimum for tire

34
00:01:44,652 --> 00:01:47,372
Speaker 3: tread is one point five millimeters, right, that's half a

35
00:01:47,413 --> 00:01:51,053
Speaker 3: match head. So if you've got four tires that are

36
00:01:51,053 --> 00:01:54,173
Speaker 3: half a match head deep, then I can't fail that.

37
00:01:54,213 --> 00:01:55,893
Speaker 3: I've got to give you a warrant. Most warrants now

38
00:01:55,973 --> 00:01:59,333
Speaker 3: for twelve months, So you get a twelve month warrant

39
00:01:59,613 --> 00:02:03,533
Speaker 3: on really minimum tire tread depth. Now, they might last

40
00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:05,773
Speaker 3: you a week, they might last you six months, depending

41
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:09,493
Speaker 3: on how many CA's you do back of your check sheet.

42
00:02:09,613 --> 00:02:11,173
Speaker 3: And not many people read this on the back of

43
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:14,412
Speaker 3: the check sheet that says it is the driver's responsibility

44
00:02:14,453 --> 00:02:16,773
Speaker 3: to maintain the vehicle up to warrant standards. Right, it's

45
00:02:16,813 --> 00:02:20,213
Speaker 3: not the owner's responsibility. It's not your mum's responsibility, it's

46
00:02:20,252 --> 00:02:24,373
Speaker 3: the driver's responsibility. Now that has implications. If you've got

47
00:02:24,413 --> 00:02:26,373
Speaker 3: four ball tires and you have an accident you run

48
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:30,093
Speaker 3: into somebody's three hundred thousand dollars Bentley, your insurance company

49
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:31,132
Speaker 3: is going to have a look at your car and

50
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:33,293
Speaker 3: if they find you had four ball tires on it,

51
00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:35,613
Speaker 3: they're going to say to you, we're not going to

52
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:36,213
Speaker 3: pay that.

53
00:02:36,213 --> 00:02:37,893
Speaker 2: That is good to know. I don't know that.

54
00:02:40,173 --> 00:02:42,412
Speaker 3: Just because you've got a warrant doesn't mean you've got

55
00:02:42,413 --> 00:02:43,213
Speaker 3: a warrantable car.

56
00:02:43,532 --> 00:02:46,333
Speaker 4: So is there ever a situation where a police officer

57
00:02:46,373 --> 00:02:49,333
Speaker 4: will pull you over and look at your car and

58
00:02:49,413 --> 00:02:52,412
Speaker 4: even though you've got a warrant go you know, can

59
00:02:52,453 --> 00:02:54,773
Speaker 4: you be ticketed driving around with a car that's got

60
00:02:54,773 --> 00:02:56,293
Speaker 4: a warrant but it has things wrong with it?

61
00:02:57,493 --> 00:03:01,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're driving an unwarrantable car, right, whether you've got

62
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:03,173
Speaker 3: a warrant or not. And the police know they can

63
00:03:03,293 --> 00:03:05,493
Speaker 3: look at look your registration number it While they're following you.

64
00:03:05,573 --> 00:03:07,453
Speaker 3: They know you've got a current warrant in the current regro,

65
00:03:07,532 --> 00:03:10,213
Speaker 3: They know your name and address, who the registered owner is.

66
00:03:10,653 --> 00:03:12,412
Speaker 3: But if they pull you up and you've got lights

67
00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:14,012
Speaker 3: not working, they probably pull you up. If your break

68
00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:16,093
Speaker 3: lights aren't working, yeah, and they can say you look

69
00:03:16,133 --> 00:03:18,373
Speaker 3: your break lights out, go and get it fixed. But

70
00:03:18,413 --> 00:03:22,053
Speaker 3: if you've got load suspension that's not complying, or you've

71
00:03:22,093 --> 00:03:24,813
Speaker 3: got tires with steel poking out of them, they can

72
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:26,653
Speaker 3: stop you from driving that car on the spot and

73
00:03:26,653 --> 00:03:27,133
Speaker 3: have a toad.

74
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:28,453
Speaker 2: Yeah, very big.

75
00:03:28,493 --> 00:03:29,813
Speaker 3: Get green stickers and red stickers.

76
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:32,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is great information for most of us to know. Now,

77
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:35,293
Speaker 2: if you've got a question for Matt, now's your opportunity. Oh,

78
00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:37,413
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to

79
00:03:37,453 --> 00:03:39,293
Speaker 2: call if you want to text through. You more than welcome.

80
00:03:39,373 --> 00:03:43,733
Speaker 2: Nine to nine to two, But let's go to the phones. Simon,

81
00:03:43,813 --> 00:03:44,293
Speaker 2: how are you?

82
00:03:45,733 --> 00:03:48,173
Speaker 5: Yeah? Good after that? And guys, hey, look, I've got

83
00:03:48,173 --> 00:03:51,893
Speaker 5: a twenty thirteen trailer cameray which I love, but it's

84
00:03:51,933 --> 00:03:54,453
Speaker 5: real noisy on startup. I actually had an earlier model,

85
00:03:54,573 --> 00:03:56,733
Speaker 5: the same model the same year, which I managed to

86
00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:59,333
Speaker 5: crash and right off so and they had exactly the

87
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:03,653
Speaker 5: same noisy startup. Now Trayder kindly did a fix on

88
00:04:03,693 --> 00:04:06,413
Speaker 5: that for free. They replaced the cam chains enginer. So

89
00:04:06,533 --> 00:04:09,173
Speaker 5: my questions are, first of all, is this a common

90
00:04:09,253 --> 00:04:11,653
Speaker 5: issue with two thousand and thirteen cameris, and if so,

91
00:04:12,013 --> 00:04:15,732
Speaker 5: it's to label to continue to fixes under their freebie.

92
00:04:16,413 --> 00:04:17,772
Speaker 3: Can you tell me what mote isn't.

93
00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:20,493
Speaker 5: It to two point four?

94
00:04:21,453 --> 00:04:24,293
Speaker 3: I can pop the herd if you want, Yeah, pop

95
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:30,413
Speaker 3: the herd will take three five if e or five.

96
00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:31,893
Speaker 3: These z feel.

97
00:04:33,253 --> 00:04:35,373
Speaker 5: Have a sticker on the on the on the cam

98
00:04:35,453 --> 00:04:36,733
Speaker 5: tign cover one on that.

99
00:04:36,853 --> 00:04:38,933
Speaker 3: I wouldn't imagine it's got a cam change. I wouldn't

100
00:04:38,933 --> 00:04:40,373
Speaker 3: imagine it's got a cam chain. It should have a

101
00:04:40,373 --> 00:04:40,813
Speaker 3: cam belt.

102
00:04:42,253 --> 00:04:43,773
Speaker 5: Okay, that's all right.

103
00:04:46,733 --> 00:04:50,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you've popped that bonnet, Simon, eh and

104
00:04:51,093 --> 00:04:54,533
Speaker 2: we look all right, well lost Simon, hold it. I

105
00:04:54,573 --> 00:04:55,893
Speaker 2: just hold there, Matte, he's going to come back.

106
00:04:56,133 --> 00:04:58,693
Speaker 5: There's nothing. Yeah, no, there's school guys. There's nothing on

107
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:00,573
Speaker 5: the motor to identify it. But there a diamond doesn't

108
00:05:00,613 --> 00:05:02,973
Speaker 5: like there're all over the roads. The most common Zealand

109
00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:07,813
Speaker 5: assembled when he yelling you two thousand, thirteen point two

110
00:05:07,813 --> 00:05:08,293
Speaker 5: point five.

111
00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:10,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it won't be a cam chain, it'll be

112
00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:11,813
Speaker 3: a cam belt.

113
00:05:13,013 --> 00:05:13,853
Speaker 5: That'll there cam belt.

114
00:05:13,933 --> 00:05:14,173
Speaker 3: Yeah.

115
00:05:14,493 --> 00:05:16,893
Speaker 5: So that so that noise on startup when it's cold,

116
00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:18,853
Speaker 5: and if you leave it sitting for a few days,

117
00:05:18,893 --> 00:05:21,453
Speaker 5: it's noisier. If it's warm, it's quiet as it's just

118
00:05:21,493 --> 00:05:22,533
Speaker 5: on startup when it's cold.

119
00:05:23,053 --> 00:05:24,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to determine it's a belt and

120
00:05:24,973 --> 00:05:25,493
Speaker 3: not a chain.

121
00:05:26,853 --> 00:05:28,213
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.

122
00:05:27,813 --> 00:05:29,853
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be a cam chain. It's going

123
00:05:29,933 --> 00:05:30,813
Speaker 3: to be a cam belt.

124
00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:35,693
Speaker 5: Okay, So if Toyeta, like I had exactly the same model,

125
00:05:35,693 --> 00:05:39,013
Speaker 5: which I said, as I've managed to write off, Tyda

126
00:05:39,133 --> 00:05:41,133
Speaker 5: did a free fix on that and they put a

127
00:05:41,173 --> 00:05:42,973
Speaker 5: they put a new tension in it and it's the

128
00:05:43,013 --> 00:05:45,813
Speaker 5: noise away. What if your expectation you could go back

129
00:05:45,853 --> 00:05:48,693
Speaker 5: to them and say, hey, look you did one, could

130
00:05:48,693 --> 00:05:50,573
Speaker 5: you do another? Or is it kind of a window

131
00:05:50,853 --> 00:05:51,813
Speaker 5: that age understanding?

132
00:05:52,133 --> 00:05:54,053
Speaker 3: Yeah? Probably probably not at that age. They will do it.

133
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:56,893
Speaker 3: They will do an out of warranty consideration, but maybe

134
00:05:57,213 --> 00:05:58,933
Speaker 3: at a five year old vehicle or a six year

135
00:05:58,933 --> 00:06:02,293
Speaker 3: old vehicle something like that, but probably not a twenty thirteen.

136
00:06:02,333 --> 00:06:06,493
Speaker 3: Now it's it's twenty you know, it's fifteen years old

137
00:06:06,573 --> 00:06:09,853
Speaker 3: in it, So yes, one probably wouldn't get it done

138
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:10,853
Speaker 3: if I continue to.

139
00:06:11,213 --> 00:06:13,173
Speaker 5: If I continue to run it when it's rightly on

140
00:06:13,213 --> 00:06:15,533
Speaker 5: cold startup, is it late to do damage?

141
00:06:17,373 --> 00:06:18,813
Speaker 3: Oh? Mate, with that hearing that, I can't say that.

142
00:06:18,853 --> 00:06:20,453
Speaker 3: But if it's if it's a cam belt, I'd just

143
00:06:20,573 --> 00:06:21,733
Speaker 3: like to know what engine it is. If you can

144
00:06:21,773 --> 00:06:23,293
Speaker 3: tell what the engineer is, If you can even text

145
00:06:23,813 --> 00:06:28,453
Speaker 3: tell me what the engineers, you can probably adjust the belt.

146
00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:30,613
Speaker 4: Simon. You go and you go and see if you

147
00:06:30,613 --> 00:06:31,973
Speaker 4: can find out what the engine that is and then

148
00:06:32,013 --> 00:06:35,013
Speaker 4: text it in and then then we'll down, we'll be

149
00:06:35,053 --> 00:06:37,093
Speaker 4: on the plate and then we'll give that information to

150
00:06:37,173 --> 00:06:38,893
Speaker 4: Matt or us. We'll won't be able to get to

151
00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:41,533
Speaker 4: all of our callers coming through a lot of texts

152
00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:42,813
Speaker 4: coming through and callers, and we want to get to

00:06:52,013 --> 00:06:54,613
Speaker 2: can't get through, keep trying because it's always a popular segment.

159
00:06:54,813 --> 00:06:56,733
Speaker 4: Ellen, you've got a question for Matt.

160
00:06:56,933 --> 00:06:59,213
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hi, guys, I'm just happy to be talking about

161
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:02,013
Speaker 6: this today. Actually a bit Warren the finasis. If you

162
00:07:02,093 --> 00:07:07,093
Speaker 6: go and get and you fail, you've got the twenty

163
00:07:07,133 --> 00:07:09,893
Speaker 6: eight days to get otherwise that you're charged again. And

164
00:07:09,973 --> 00:07:16,173
Speaker 6: I know that's a charging thing. Is there actually a

165
00:07:16,213 --> 00:07:17,253
Speaker 6: grace period?

166
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:17,573
Speaker 7: You know?

167
00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:19,733
Speaker 6: If I happened to drive it out of the chest

168
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,533
Speaker 6: you stay and go home and a tripicot pulls me over,

169
00:07:22,613 --> 00:07:27,293
Speaker 6: or policeman pulling over, is he with is it right

170
00:07:27,333 --> 00:07:28,533
Speaker 6: to give me a ticket or not?

171
00:07:32,013 --> 00:07:33,813
Speaker 3: Yep? Sorry you were breaking up here.

172
00:07:33,693 --> 00:07:35,653
Speaker 4: But so basically was saying that if you if you

173
00:07:35,693 --> 00:07:37,973
Speaker 4: get the twenty eight day grace period, you fail to

174
00:07:37,973 --> 00:07:40,413
Speaker 4: warrn a fitness and they give you twenty eight days

175
00:07:40,413 --> 00:07:42,413
Speaker 4: to get the thing fixed. If you pull over it

176
00:07:42,453 --> 00:07:46,093
Speaker 4: by police in that time and they spot something that's

177
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,573
Speaker 4: not you know, up to warrant for the standard, can

178
00:07:48,613 --> 00:07:50,093
Speaker 4: they charge you or is the fact that you're in

179
00:07:50,093 --> 00:07:50,853
Speaker 4: the twenty day.

180
00:07:52,093 --> 00:07:54,653
Speaker 3: No, there's no, there's no such thing as grace period.

181
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:57,893
Speaker 3: They can't charge you another fee until twenty eight days.

182
00:07:57,893 --> 00:07:59,133
Speaker 3: So if you take it back tomorrow you get a

183
00:07:59,173 --> 00:08:03,213
Speaker 3: free reinspection. But if the only reason you're allowed to

184
00:08:03,293 --> 00:08:06,413
Speaker 3: drive your vehicle at that point is to to get

185
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:08,373
Speaker 3: a warrant. So you can't go to the supermarket on

186
00:08:08,413 --> 00:08:10,053
Speaker 3: your way home. You can take it home and then

187
00:08:10,093 --> 00:08:11,293
Speaker 3: you can take it back to get work.

188
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:11,733
Speaker 4: Wow.

189
00:08:12,053 --> 00:08:13,213
Speaker 3: Or you can take it back for the reach it

190
00:08:13,533 --> 00:08:16,093
Speaker 3: if you get pulled up in that time. Yeah, they

191
00:08:16,093 --> 00:08:19,533
Speaker 3: are quite rightly, we'll give you a ticket. Well, most

192
00:08:19,653 --> 00:08:23,053
Speaker 3: police will say, look, you get your warrant within seven

193
00:08:23,133 --> 00:08:24,613
Speaker 3: days or something, bring it in and we'll get rid

194
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:27,493
Speaker 3: of the ticket. But the only reason you can drive

195
00:08:27,493 --> 00:08:29,333
Speaker 3: a car without a warrant is for the sole purpose

196
00:08:29,373 --> 00:08:30,173
Speaker 3: of getting a warrant.

197
00:08:30,373 --> 00:08:32,453
Speaker 4: Wow, that's interesting. I've always just taken that back in

198
00:08:32,493 --> 00:08:34,773
Speaker 4: the day. Is just grace period.

199
00:08:35,533 --> 00:08:36,012
Speaker 2: I've got a.

200
00:08:35,973 --> 00:08:39,333
Speaker 3: Month take your car, and take your car in before

201
00:08:39,333 --> 00:08:42,333
Speaker 3: the warrant expires, because we can post date them up

202
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:44,333
Speaker 3: to fourteen days, so you don't lose any time. If

203
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:46,412
Speaker 3: we take it in a week early, we'll post date

204
00:08:46,453 --> 00:08:49,732
Speaker 3: it the seven days. But if you fail, then you've

205
00:08:49,732 --> 00:08:51,213
Speaker 3: still got a current warrant on your one screen.

206
00:08:51,372 --> 00:08:55,172
Speaker 2: Very good cecil Matters standing by for your question.

207
00:08:57,453 --> 00:09:00,893
Speaker 6: So I drove a ks portage where the window wiper

208
00:09:01,213 --> 00:09:05,293
Speaker 6: fluid is leaking, and I just wanted to know.

209
00:09:05,492 --> 00:09:06,492
Speaker 8: Is it an easy fact?

210
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:08,573
Speaker 3: Is there a product I can use to see it?

211
00:09:09,053 --> 00:09:10,652
Speaker 3: Or am I going to have to take the whole

212
00:09:10,653 --> 00:09:14,533
Speaker 3: thing with specialist to get that. You're talking about the

213
00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:21,492
Speaker 3: wipe of the washer fluid. Yeah, yeah, yep, the water yeah, okay.

214
00:09:21,693 --> 00:09:24,093
Speaker 3: How much is it leaking? How much? Like does it

215
00:09:24,132 --> 00:09:26,492
Speaker 3: empty it completely? Yeah?

216
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:27,893
Speaker 5: It does it completely?

217
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:30,933
Speaker 3: Okay. So at the bottom of the bottle there's a

218
00:09:30,933 --> 00:09:32,893
Speaker 3: little pump or the rubber seal. That rubber seal may

219
00:09:32,892 --> 00:09:34,773
Speaker 3: be leaking, or the little pump might have come out.

220
00:09:35,413 --> 00:09:37,453
Speaker 3: It's probably not something you're going to do at home.

221
00:09:37,492 --> 00:09:39,372
Speaker 3: It's it's really going to need to go up on Oyst.

222
00:09:40,293 --> 00:09:41,772
Speaker 3: But no, there's nothing you can put in it to

223
00:09:41,852 --> 00:09:45,213
Speaker 3: seal it. It's either got a broken bottle or the

224
00:09:45,413 --> 00:09:46,252
Speaker 3: or the seals leaking.

225
00:09:47,533 --> 00:09:49,573
Speaker 5: Okay, So I'll take it in to get looked at.

226
00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:51,652
Speaker 3: No, that's okay, thank you so much.

227
00:09:53,333 --> 00:09:55,093
Speaker 2: All right, good on you, Thanks you seal.

228
00:09:55,213 --> 00:09:55,892
Speaker 4: Thanks for your call.

229
00:09:56,453 --> 00:09:58,173
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to

230
00:09:58,173 --> 00:10:00,573
Speaker 2: call if you got a question for Matt Azaia. How

231
00:10:00,573 --> 00:10:01,412
Speaker 2: are you this afternoon?

232
00:10:02,173 --> 00:10:03,932
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm good about you.

233
00:10:03,693 --> 00:10:05,493
Speaker 2: Very good. Matt is standing by for your question.

234
00:10:06,372 --> 00:10:10,573
Speaker 10: Okay, great, so I've got to well, I got hit

235
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:14,813
Speaker 10: at a parking lot very lightly, but it popped the

236
00:10:14,933 --> 00:10:19,413
Speaker 10: braw It popped my rear tail light slightly. It's not

237
00:10:19,813 --> 00:10:22,933
Speaker 10: it's not broken, it's not cracked, but like it's out

238
00:10:22,973 --> 00:10:26,612
Speaker 10: of the clip, like in the bracket came loose, so

239
00:10:26,653 --> 00:10:31,093
Speaker 10: it's popping out and slightly wobbly. I you know, looking

240
00:10:31,093 --> 00:10:33,213
Speaker 10: for the tail light's kind of expensive. I'm trying to

241
00:10:33,252 --> 00:10:36,532
Speaker 10: look sick in hand. But and I've still got months left,

242
00:10:36,573 --> 00:10:38,453
Speaker 10: like near like the second half of the year to

243
00:10:38,492 --> 00:10:40,933
Speaker 10: get my wop. So I was wonderings gonna couple me

244
00:10:41,012 --> 00:10:42,973
Speaker 10: up on it. It works, so.

245
00:10:44,813 --> 00:10:47,813
Speaker 3: It may leak, may leak rain water in, but as

246
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:49,732
Speaker 3: long as all the lights are working and it's not broken,

247
00:10:49,773 --> 00:10:53,372
Speaker 3: the leans aren't broken, and it's roughly in the right place,

248
00:10:53,413 --> 00:10:56,933
Speaker 3: then it shouldn't be a reason to be ticketed. What

249
00:10:57,012 --> 00:10:59,492
Speaker 3: sort of vehicle is it?

250
00:10:59,173 --> 00:11:04,732
Speaker 10: Uh, it's a Corolla Axio like twenty sixteen.

251
00:11:05,213 --> 00:11:06,813
Speaker 3: So so if you look in the boot in the

252
00:11:06,852 --> 00:11:09,093
Speaker 3: back where it's where it's a text, there should be

253
00:11:09,173 --> 00:11:10,612
Speaker 3: a couple of ten minl nuts and you should be

254
00:11:10,612 --> 00:11:12,372
Speaker 3: able to take those nuts off and pull it right out,

255
00:11:12,453 --> 00:11:14,252
Speaker 3: and then you should be able to see where the

256
00:11:14,252 --> 00:11:16,093
Speaker 3: clips go. The clips might have popped out of the

257
00:11:16,173 --> 00:11:20,053
Speaker 3: light unit itself. It's not broken.

258
00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:21,973
Speaker 10: No, no, it's not broken.

259
00:11:22,892 --> 00:11:24,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be a simple folks. Just take them,

260
00:11:24,773 --> 00:11:26,933
Speaker 3: take the nuts off from the back, pull it right

261
00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:27,893
Speaker 3: out and have it look at it.

262
00:11:28,053 --> 00:11:29,333
Speaker 4: Yeah, good luck with that as am.

263
00:11:30,372 --> 00:11:36,892
Speaker 2: Some great texts coming through. This One says Matt, I've

264
00:11:36,933 --> 00:11:41,213
Speaker 2: got a BMW A M three twenty sixteen to twenty

265
00:11:41,413 --> 00:11:44,453
Speaker 2: nineteen with an S fifty five engine. I think that

266
00:11:44,573 --> 00:11:48,813
Speaker 2: is that has a common crank hub failure. I've been

267
00:11:48,813 --> 00:11:54,653
Speaker 2: told that was a well known issue. Do us as

268
00:11:54,773 --> 00:11:58,213
Speaker 2: consumers have any rights to that well known issue with

269
00:11:58,252 --> 00:11:59,653
Speaker 2: the BMW M three.

270
00:12:02,372 --> 00:12:04,293
Speaker 3: If you bought a new in New Zealand you would,

271
00:12:04,413 --> 00:12:06,413
Speaker 3: But probably not if it's the second hand vehicle.

272
00:12:06,612 --> 00:12:08,213
Speaker 2: Yeap, No, No, that's an easy one.

273
00:12:08,372 --> 00:12:10,012
Speaker 3: It's not one. It's not what I've heard of, but

274
00:12:10,252 --> 00:12:10,892
Speaker 3: probably not.

275
00:12:11,213 --> 00:12:13,493
Speaker 4: Hey, Matt's is a text of why does my hold

276
00:12:13,492 --> 00:12:16,773
Speaker 4: in three o eight blow water out the header tank?

277
00:12:17,173 --> 00:12:20,892
Speaker 4: It never overheats, that can't.

278
00:12:20,693 --> 00:12:28,612
Speaker 3: Pressurizing, so it's a head gasket. Try the radiator cap

279
00:12:29,693 --> 00:12:31,933
Speaker 3: might need an new radiator cap. So the radiata CAP's

280
00:12:31,933 --> 00:12:33,933
Speaker 3: got a pressure valve and a suction valve, and both

281
00:12:33,973 --> 00:12:35,732
Speaker 3: velves have to work. It'll push water out. If it

282
00:12:35,773 --> 00:12:37,453
Speaker 3: doesn't work, probably it won't pull the water back in

283
00:12:40,132 --> 00:12:42,773
Speaker 3: if it's not overheating. I'd be looking at the radio

284
00:12:42,852 --> 00:12:43,412
Speaker 3: to cap first.

285
00:12:43,732 --> 00:12:45,252
Speaker 4: You go, okay, Carl, I have that help.

286
00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:50,213
Speaker 2: Yep, very good, Tony, you're on with Matt.

287
00:12:50,333 --> 00:12:55,173
Speaker 11: Gentlemen, Look quick question warrants of fitness is certificates. What

288
00:12:55,333 --> 00:12:57,333
Speaker 11: is the main difference for we have sha if you're

289
00:12:57,453 --> 00:12:59,612
Speaker 11: half past the world of business, but you're really you

290
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:02,653
Speaker 11: actually have to have a certificate business. What would be

291
00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:05,612
Speaker 11: the difference in a fil for both those? In other words,

292
00:13:05,892 --> 00:13:10,573
Speaker 11: what are the aspects of the sertificates the difference between

293
00:13:10,573 --> 00:13:13,093
Speaker 11: that in the world as far as the checks and everything.

294
00:13:12,813 --> 00:13:18,173
Speaker 3: Goes in regard to what type of vehicle.

295
00:13:19,653 --> 00:13:24,732
Speaker 11: Well light vehicle? Right, I just got to hear a certific.

296
00:13:24,693 --> 00:13:28,453
Speaker 3: Fitness okay, yep, okay, So that's the same as a

297
00:13:28,453 --> 00:13:30,933
Speaker 3: rental between the two.

298
00:13:32,732 --> 00:13:35,293

Speaker 4: a certificated fitness.

300
00:13:37,533 --> 00:13:39,492
Speaker 3: I don't know. We don't do stuffic. It's a fitness.

301
00:13:40,413 --> 00:13:44,373
Speaker 3: It's something that only the testing station will do. The

302
00:13:44,413 --> 00:13:46,252
Speaker 3: best way to check would be to have a look

303
00:13:46,252 --> 00:13:51,213
Speaker 3: at two chick sheets and see if they're checking anything differently. Ye. Yeah,

304
00:13:52,012 --> 00:13:53,693
Speaker 3: very good. I've got if you've got another car that's

305
00:13:53,693 --> 00:13:56,612
Speaker 3: a normal private card, just compare the two chick sheets.

306
00:13:56,693 --> 00:13:58,932
Speaker 2: Yep, very good, Thank you very much. Tony, all the

307
00:13:58,973 --> 00:14:02,733

Speaker 7: If I was to take by car and for a

313
00:14:17,813 --> 00:14:20,773
Speaker 7: I got rejected or from the date that the warrant

314
00:14:20,853 --> 00:14:23,533
Speaker 7: was due.

315
00:14:22,773 --> 00:14:26,213
Speaker 3: From the date you had your inspection done. It's just

316
00:14:26,293 --> 00:14:28,613
Speaker 3: the administration thing. It's just they don't charge you a

317
00:14:28,653 --> 00:14:30,933
Speaker 3: new fee until the twenty eight days after the test

318
00:14:30,973 --> 00:14:31,532
Speaker 3: you've heard.

319
00:14:32,893 --> 00:14:35,733
Speaker 7: So it's not actually from the date that the warrant

320
00:14:35,853 --> 00:14:39,172
Speaker 7: was due, because I've gone earlier to say I've got

321
00:14:39,173 --> 00:14:43,053
Speaker 7: a fortnight early and I got rejected. So does the

322
00:14:43,053 --> 00:14:45,893
Speaker 7: twenty eight day period to get it fixed run from

323
00:14:45,933 --> 00:14:48,573
Speaker 7: the day you have it rejected or from the date

324
00:14:48,653 --> 00:14:50,053
Speaker 7: that the warrant till you do.

325
00:14:51,373 --> 00:14:52,373

349
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:13,013
Speaker 12: Yes, Hi, Matt, Hi, Guys, As I said, I got

350
00:16:13,013 --> 00:16:15,853
Speaker 12: a hold over the sea twenty nineteen two point four

351
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,253
Speaker 12: liter engine, I've noticed a problem which.

352
00:16:20,373 --> 00:16:23,292
Speaker 8: Sort of becomes dangerous it's going to delay in the

353
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:30,333
Speaker 8: acceleration pedal, so the car basically doesn't respond if you're

354
00:16:30,413 --> 00:16:33,933
Speaker 8: in the intersection. Uh, and you want to pull or

355
00:16:33,973 --> 00:16:37,213
Speaker 8: you want to take over a car on a passing lane,

356
00:16:37,773 --> 00:16:41,253
Speaker 8: the car which sometimes doesn't respond to the pedal. It's

357
00:16:41,373 --> 00:16:43,373
Speaker 8: like a delay like a second or two. And I

358
00:16:43,413 --> 00:16:44,253
Speaker 8: found it dangerous.

359
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:46,373
Speaker 3: I feel like it. Does it feel like it's changing

360
00:16:46,413 --> 00:16:49,292
Speaker 3: gears or does it feel like the engine is just sluggish?

361
00:16:50,533 --> 00:16:52,853
Speaker 9: Yeah, it feels like the engine is sluggish.

362
00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:55,173
Speaker 12: So so happen.

363
00:16:54,973 --> 00:16:59,412
Speaker 8: When I got another ODC, an older version, same size Mota,

364
00:17:01,493 --> 00:17:03,493
Speaker 8: and it's very responsive.

365
00:17:03,893 --> 00:17:06,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ian, thank you very much. We've got about sixty seconds.

366
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:10,453
Speaker 3: Man, if you haven't got an engine light on the dash,

367
00:17:11,813 --> 00:17:13,733
Speaker 3: i'd imagine there probably is an engine light. It could

368
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:16,413
Speaker 3: be something like an airflow meter or a map sensor.

369
00:17:17,093 --> 00:17:18,493
Speaker 3: You'll probably have to get it in and get it

370
00:17:18,533 --> 00:17:22,133
Speaker 3: scanned and get somebody to test the onboard computer.

371
00:17:22,373 --> 00:17:24,733
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd say, and that's one that you want to

372
00:17:24,733 --> 00:17:26,573
Speaker 4: take in because that's no good.

373
00:17:26,653 --> 00:17:28,893
Speaker 3: If you mixed cars on the phone, I'd be rich.

374
00:17:29,493 --> 00:17:31,933
Speaker 4: If you're leaving, you know, if you're losing power in

375
00:17:31,933 --> 00:17:32,493
Speaker 4: the middle of an.

376
00:17:32,373 --> 00:17:35,013
Speaker 2: Intersection, No good, no good, not a good place to
