Also one of the mechanics mentioned changing the tyres but after reading the document i can only assume he was drunk at the time.

The final few parts arrived the other day so hoping to have this bad boy on the road by the end of the month :)

Also, anyone care to suggest a half decent mechanic to get the RWC done at? I'm in south melbourne but most mechanics around here are far too pricey for my liking.

Can't recommend anyone near, but make sure you stick to your guns whoever does it. If you feel they pick on something that isn't in the document, ask them to explain why they knocked it back, and if they can't explain it as per the document, tell them you will report them to Vicroads - they even have a dispute resolution procedure.

You won't make any new friends doing this, but you will get a fair assessment on the safety items that matter, and an easier RWC. They generally pick on less stuff if they know you know your stuff...:D

Let us know how it pans out.

Light globes you can do, just need a #2 phillips head screwdriver.
Brake Pads, just need a pair of pliers and large screwdriver (plus jack and wheel brace but that goes without saying)
Damper rod bushes (assuming it's steering damper), couple of spanners to remove, they aren't pressed in by memory. Just fit poly here, it'll make the steering fell better, as would the panhard rod with poly. Others though I would keep rubber.
Windows, could also be the relay, the fronts have a larger relay than the rear so it goes before the front despite the front being used more.

Does Les Richmond do inspections? Should do since they also have a lot of mods to fit that are engineered. At least a LR specialist
