          Might be best to PM the details rather than post on a public forum though.....

            So...............defect number 2 a few hrs ago. FML.

            The usual ride height and poke.

            If anyone has easy RWC mechanics, please PM. I need someone that will turn a blind eye to coilovers (car will be all good in terms of ride height, wheels/tyres etc).

                LOL...yeah I know huh! This time he was nice enough to not give me a fine and let me drive home.

                Last time I cleared the defect by some Pommy guy in dandenong (cant remember the address) so if anyone knows this bloke (it wasnt a VW specialist), that'd be great!

                  In terms of the way the ADR system works, technically anything that hasn't been ADR approved is 'illegal'. One of the largest costs within the R&D process for new products (in almost any market where liability is a big factor) is design approval. This is why, even from Germany, you can buy non-TUV approved products for significantly less money. Many German suppliers sell TUV and non-TUV approved versions of the same product to target the export market - and locals who don't care about the law!

                  As has been said already, it really depends on how much of a muppet the charging officer is! Technically, you can be booked and/or defected for making any changes to a car, as you have altered it from its originally-approved state. The whole thing is a grey area and always will be unless all levels of modification are banned, which will never happen because there'd be uproar from an economic perspective - so we're safe for a while.

                  The trick is to do things carefully, cleanly, and properly
