[sideshow]

it all comes down to us becoming like the USA
where everyone sues everyone so like someone above
said they cover their arse
I had a fabricating and welding workshop get in trouble for
fitting a Nissan motor to a BMW
the mvria or whatever they r called said u are not allowed to
remove any part on any car and replace it unless u have a mechanics
ticket or licence so since he had enough knowledge from over the years
all he had to do is a 3 day course and an exam
now I'm pretty sure there are thousands of shops out there
that do mechanical work on cars but not licensed
this only happened when a customer complained to mvria about
an issue and it nearly ruined his business
its annoying how if a shop sells a steering shaft for a cobra it needs a certificate
but if they sell the same modified shaft and it's fitted to an old Holden
or similar no one really cares
I think a lot of these new shops will need to think about certificates
for any parts that will be fitted to icv cars
and owners will need a 1000 page folder to hand to rta to prove
every part has past the test
I hope they don't start doing testing on wiring or I'll have to change jobs
