hey guys, i already asked this question in the old forum, 1 day before it went crazy so i was never able to read the private messages i got as replies so ill ask again.. Does anyone know where i can get a mini friendly roadworthy in the melbourne area. I took mine to a "german car" specialist who obviously didnt like my little car and gave me an A4 page of things they thought were wrong. HELP :lol:

Got my roadworthy done the other day, here's what they picked on:

Wiper blades
Front Shocks
Rear wheel bearings
Dirty/greasy/oily engine
Spare wheel not anchored down

I'd already done the brakes and changed the seats over.

Spare wheel not anchored down is a Mini n00b error. Standard equipment, people!

They dont like a dirty engine, so clean it before you get the test done! If the shocks have any oil on them, they won't pass them. I had to do the rear shocks on my van.
