original configuration

[dam-mad]

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to find information regarding orginal configuration for FC's.  I need register a modified FC in the NT and I need to supply information on the what the car was before the mods.  Need stuff like wheel diameter, rim width, rim offset, wheel track etc etc.  Bloody motor vehicle registry >:(

All that sort of information can be found in the front of the Workshop Manual.  If you haven't got one, you should!  Lots of very good information to be had in there.

Sorry I don't have one handy at the moment to give you the answers here and now.

cheers

You must have got the MVR guy on the wrong day, I,ve got all sorts of stuff over the pits and they dont even care, If your in darwin take it to C&H autoline and i think it wayne he will look after you!

Thanks Russ,  did they want you to fill out the VS8 form for the modifactions??

Just took it to mvr and regoed it they didn't ask about ant mods, they have the engine number so i guess they know its a red motor.
But saying that ive had:
2.8 litre hilux regoed as a 2.4
S3 landrover went over the pits 3 time with a diferent body each time(wagon, Soft top and ute)
Wifes VH had 5 litre sticker on the air cleaner so that was a 308 instead of 253????

i dont think thay have much of an idea. also a mates V8 landcruiser still has drums on the front??????? :P

Hi.
The issue here is, that IF or WHEN the said car is involved in any sort of accident & it is found not to meet the required standards, you will find the following:

a/ Your insurance company will not pay up.
b/ The MAIB will not be available (As the car isn't what it is registered as) & YOU will be liable for all costs
c/ You may well get your arse sued by all involved parties
d/ The knob who was supposed to inspect it correctly, will get a HUGE fine & lose his licence.
e/ you will get a record for driving an unroadworty vehicle & maybe lose your licence.
