    The problem with this though Mark is the OP is asking about a car in a Dealership second hand with no history. If it is Mod Plated then the whole thread is a mute question. But i doubt that very much. Your tangent kind of throws it out of whack.

    It is a Legal requirement for the mechanic providing the Road Worthy Certificate to ensure that it complies as he is singing it off. If in doubt then he is on the hook. If he passes it you have 30 days to challenge this and he is then obligated to make it comply regardless of cost. His incentive to Not sign something off is he doesn't want to pay for it. Ask the question. Ask the question of the RWC Mechanic. If he knows there is a question mark he will likely knock it back or make sure it is right as he will have to make good. If there is doubt then the Dealer should sort it out before the sale. If in doubt....... Walk away.

    Scenario : You buy the car, you drive down the road and get pulled over by the RTA or Police in the first 30 days and given an Unroadworthy for Lift. The Mechanic is on the Hook for the FIX. The Whole Fix.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
