Registering a 'Perentie' Landrover

[Barefoot dave]

Great news Charlie!
I never thought I would say this, but I think Qld is the easiest state to register a Perentie! 

Which parker was the problem?

Second only to Victoria.

I didn't have to change the exhaust outlet.

NSW for me, I didn't have to do A thing,,,,,,,but I will say for Historic Rego Vic wins over NSW

You will never get me to admit the Victorian Club plate system (apart from the 25 year eligibility part) is superior to the NSW system.

Yes there are restrictions, but in NSW I can go on a club trip that takes six months and 4 states still on the one annual fee.  Under the Vistorian system, I would have to use two different cars and the registration cost would end up not much less than full registration.

My biggest rego hassle was having a 'original' printed greenslip and not a copy/fax/email version..

NSW wins again..

Hi Dave, front left is the issue. Works, but the bulb pops out of the socket. I've ordered an el cheapo replacement, but will LED them all eventually, I think.

The guy I had this morning didn't know what the blackout system was - I suspect if I'd had him the first time I wouldn't have had half the issues I did...

Charlie; glad to hear it wasn't anything major.
All good then.
Cheers.

Indeed - I'm very pleased. Thanks for your help along the way. Will take it into the mountains with my jeep-owning mates this weekend, hopefully.

Got RFSV registered today sans rear seat & side baskets, vehicle standards never responded so inspector said all good.

Well done.

Its been a few months since there were any updates to this info.
Any recent registration issues or have the issues all smoothed out?

I am particularly interested in any reports on the ACT "original rego" situation. I know of two people approaching Perentie rego here soon, both do not have plates as they are from the AFM auctions.

It is still better to transfer in from NSW or any out of state rego -that much wouldn't have changed- but are there any more recent experiences with 'original registration'?

Bear in mind, the 6x6 has a GVM of 5.6t. The RWC guy that does cars can only give a RWC for vehicles up to 4t GVM.
Make sure the guy giving the RWC is licensed for vehicles above 4t GVM.

Other than that, it should be a doddle.

Bob, I would check with the transport dept first as to what they require before you get the roadworthy. Every state is different but in Qld you don't even need a roadworthy if the vehicle has never been on their database. Silly me got a roadworthy before I checked. All that I had to do was present the vehicle so they could verify the VIN, present the mod paperwork for changing the GVM from 5600 to 4495kg and wait overnight while they checked and entered the VIN on the database and pay the money the next day plus the stamp duty for the purchase price (robbers - who said ned kelly was dead). It is worthwhile getting the GVM lowered here, about 1/2 the price on 4495kg compared to 5600 plus no annual inspection and can be driven with a normal car licence. Good luck mate!!!
