Hi Damage,
You'd think it would be that simple ... I brought in a 2003 VW Touareg and Regency failed the car on its rear seatback child seat attachment points because they were sprung. I asked the local VW dealer if they could issue me with a letter confirming that they were ADR approved, since exactly the same fixings were on all 2003-2011 Australian Touaregs. The VW dealer went to VW Australia, who replied (paraphrased) "its a personally imported car, sod off"! So I had to have the car inspected by an engineer, who looked at the fixings for less than a minute, said "yes they are ADR approved, that will be $400 please". Plus retest and extra day rego fees.
They have to recover the $3 billion lost by State Bank somehow!
Regards, Mike
