Thread: QLD Mod Plate - Query

i'd say he wasn't aware the tank was the same

I'd be questioning #2 and #4

From what I understand, the mod plate only states which ADRs the vehicle conforms to. The turbo might be a different or separate ADR to the motor. The internal fuel pump may be a different ADR to an external fuel pump.
The engineer has certified the vehicle as presented.
What information is on the blue plate?

Sounds reasonable to me. Probably a very strict interpretation of the rules but at least you are covered.

For further reading.

Thanks Guys, I'll post the codes up tomorrow.

Not much can be done now, i was just a bit shocked as to what he came up with.

the turbo should have been covered as part of the engine swap.

if the fuel tank structure remained the same and all that was changed was that the in-tank pump was removed, its not a plate-able modification to the fuel system, and as it stands, modifying the fuel system to cater for a diesel shouldve been part of the engine swap....

Strictly speaking they are all modifications to the Range Rover's original specs, not sure why it's a big drama.

Engine changed
method of induction changed
fuel type changed including filler neck, cap & warning label perhaps
transmission changed.

When dealing with bureaucracy, getting through unscathed is the main thing.
