[QUOTE=BLUES]spot on Chris - the new MX5 doesn't have a spare.[/QUOTE]
Went to the pits today and yes they did CONFIRM that it is NOT law to have a spare tyre in the boot.
What a waste of time !!!
Unfortunately, they won't pass my car with the rims I have on there atm :mad:
More mucking around :angry5:

Get it in writing in case of next time perhaps?

which pits did you go to?

This whole things raw Chris.. make sure you write that letter.

name and badge number is on the yellow sticker

might even want to attention it to the Traffic Enfringement Group directly?

[QUOTE=WRPI0]Get it in writing in case of next time perhaps?[/QUOTE]I asked to get that in a permit and the guy at the pits said no can do cos there is no law for it!

[QUOTE=Adr3naL1N]which pits did you go to?[/QUOTE]East Perth

Got a guy that was pretty helpful. Young dude.
Called the copper a fukwit for wasting his time and was cursing him LOL
He almost passed my car in 2 mins but unfortunately, there were other inspectors around him and he had to do the full check routine :mad:

So now I have a couple of minor things I have to get fixed to pass the pits!
ie change rims & tyres and adjust coilovers so springs don't move when the car is jacked up. WTF? (pointless I think)
I won't be going back to East Perth.
Think I will check out Welshpool on Tuesday.

And yes, a letter will be written with the offending officer.
His surname is McRae!!! Not a hard one to forget

They jacked your car up to test the springs?... don't think that happened on any of my visits.

Those east perth guys are by the book.

just my opinion but bypass welshpool pits and head to midland. Welshpool guys can be pricks at the best of time too, never had a problem at midland.

He would've jacked up the wheel to check for shagged wheel bearing and probably notice that the spring on the coilover wasn't captive. You running the standard springs with your DMS Chris?

Midland is by far the best.
