I am keen Dave, haven't had a round of golf in ages... Probably will be embarrassing

Take it and get a 2nd opinion, if they prove that the tyres are not legal, then I would be going back with the certificate to the dealer. If the car was passed if it is indeed not roadworthy, then the inspector can get in a lot of trouble.

Have you called the dealer? This is what should be done first and foremost before asking for help. They sold it to you, and you need to give them the opportunity to rectify the issue first. If, this doesn't resolve the issue, then perhaps you could contact your local regulation body MTA or the like....

Something that may interest you if you are not confident playing around with your ECU yourself, may be to contact Merlin.

He is NSW based, but the pricing of his tunes are much cheaper than a tuning shop. He does it more for the love of it! Would be cheaper to fly him up and back than use a shop.

I have to admit I am a bit of a self confessed Auto Glym fanboi! :P I ordered a fair bit from the UK via Ebay in 5l tins. If I am doing a full detail on the paint I usually do the following: Snow foam using a gerni and snowfoam lance / solution from carcare products. Machine polish using a Ryobi Ran...

Also, ask them to not move it unless absolutely necessary....

Alright, I had forgotten about this, with all the other stuff going on in my life at the moment! Apologies for that. The 6 participants have a PM in their inbox, with payment details.
