    John, I think you should try the guy I first recommended in Spearwood - he is a realist (and a proper mechanic)!

    Because it hasn't been licensed in Australia before (I think they don't count the Vic Roads Club License as being licensed in Australia???) it needs to go through a "DVS Vehicle Examination Centre", not an Authorised Inspection Station". I'm guessing your mate is an AIS. I'll check though. Be good to find a way around this issue.

    I don't mind doing a couple of the things they pointed out but if I have to split the motor and gearbox and the gearbox and handbrake drum and remove the overdrive to fix the oil weeps, then I might just send the thing to NZ in a container and sort it out there. Australia loses a 101!!!

    C'mon John, gearbox out in one of these can happen before morning tea...

    If they are concerned about the OD leaking oil, I can lend you the back plate and gear to put it back to standard for the test. I carry these parts in my spares kit in case the Od ****s itself while on a trip. Probably about an hours work to take it back to standard.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    The overdrive does not have to come out to fix the oil leaks.
    Selector shaft O rings can be replaced in situ.
    Leaks around the gear shaft and the housing is a bit harder, but I managed to stop that too and now have leak free over drive.

    When I got the rangy Ute registered years ago, they said the steering was too light and vague. I let the tyres down to 18 psi when I took it back and they passed it.
    Maybe try increasing the pressure in the 101 tyres might stop it following the contours in our fine WA roads as much.

    John, sorry to hear the bad news. I hope things work out soon, and you can be running around with your 101.

    I think next time I'll have the canvas sides rolled up so they don't act like a sail to catch gusts between the buildings. There is just no way that my 101 is anything but rock steady in the steering. Having the canvas sides rolled up will also make a complete mockery of the requirement to fill the floor holes. I have thought maybe to take the roof right off and remove the door tops and go back on a heavy rain day! I'd hate to do that and not get the same guy though.
