Hi all. Trying to get my car back on the road, and will be needing a RWC in a week or so. Can anyone recommend a 'Mini friendly' RWC tester in or around my locale?

Jim

I can recommend one in Geelong that seems to be old car friendly. The place in Werribee I used to use chnaged hands and no longer does RWC's.

Don't take it to any place called A**ison Auto as they are stupidly strict!

Cheers,

I already did.

BTW: I'm not saying the guy does dodgy RWC's. Just that he realises that old cars don't have to be in the same condition as a three year old dunnydore to be roadworthy.

Cheers,

And that's what I was wanting in a RWC tester. I once had a garage do a RWC on my first mini in 1978 that had dry suspension, tell me "it's too low", I asked how am I supposed to fix that he said "pump up the suspension"! :shock: I went elsewhere!
