Registering a 'Perentie' Landrover

[chuckt]

Thanks i have read of people using the bumpers similar to that but its no big deal for me to just cut em off and weld em back on in place of the tie down bracket

Moved recovery point to a more suitable location for pits inspection.

Just got a roadworthy certificate for my 6x6 Air Defence, only failed a globe in reversing light.
Just have to fill out the paperwork, and its going onto club rego.

Didn't say any thing about tool brackets on bonnet or tie down points on front of (early style) bulbar, or the keyless ignition.

Mike from All Class mobile safety certificates came down this morning and measured up and filled in all the paperwork required to register 202261 aka WEE110. PM me if you would like his number

So off to the roads department tomorrow to get it registered

So,

I finally got all of the paperwork in and 202261 is now registered

The short story,

- Vehicle inspection completed
- Vehicle measured
- Vehicle weighed
- Insurance taken out
- CTP taken out
- Vehicle taken to department of transport to verify vin numbers with paperwork
- Department of transport contact vehicle identification unit to add vin number to data base
- 4 days later it had been added and registration of vehicle finalised

Very happy

So Just to confirm what i needed to do to get mine registered in WA under the new state rules

- Seat belt anchorage and Roll Hoops are to be inspected via the technical or VSS department on a individual basis (21 Murray Rd Sth Welshpool)
- Roll Hoop and Canopy Bars within 1200mm of driver and passengers headspace must be padded with 25mm polyurethane
- "Black Out Lighting" switch must be removed due to it not being suitable for on road use due to the fact that it turns off the brake lights under certain modes and they must operate at all times.
 - Convoy lights must be removed
- Tools and brackets removed from bonnet
- Recovery point on bull bar removed so its not protruding
- Tie down point on rear bar removed so its flush with tail lights
- Jerry Can holders Removed
- Ignition and Immobiliser (if under 25 years of age) must be fitted
- Door locks must be fitted *soft tops can apply for a exemption*
- No passenger seats in cargo area.
- You will need a weigh bridge ticket on inspection to confirm tare weight.

Jerry can holders removed?

Why? If you can fit a swing out spare wheel to a Toyota etc, then what is different?

Black out light removed? why, disconnected maybe but I can't see what removing them will achieve

BLACK OUT SWITCH REMOVE KNOB.

Juddy, not worth any more oxygen.

I think this question needs to be put to such officious departments...."so you are officially stating that the ADF, ergo Aus Govt,  has been and still is using unroadworthy non-compliant vehicles on public roads to the tune of about 3000 units?"

I agree Greg. The forum is becoming bogged down in this crap there seems to be a doubling up of posts here. I am becoming bored with all of this an the whole PERENTIE thing. Where has all the older vehicle owners gone?? Enough ENOUGH I can't take any more Perentie Perentie Perentie.

[Gordie]

The bad news for you chaps, is that there are a lot more perenties to hit the streets yet!! So I dare say there will be plenty of perentie PERENTIE perentie conversation :-)

The good news for people who have just got, or contemplating getting a perentie PERENTIE perentie....is that threads like this are actually quite helpful in regard to what others have gone through re getting them registered, and what a potential purchaser may be facing....could be a clincher as to whether to actually purchase one or not.

Didn't the Discovery 1 & 2, as well as the Nissan Patrols, had to have extra lights fitted in the rear bumper because they had the spare wheel fitted to the rear door and blocked the tail lights at certain angles.
I fitted a spare wheel carrier many years ago and had to fit additional lights.

There is a thread on 2a problems at the moment not every thing is about them lizard cars

The ADRs changed late 93 early 94 that required tail lights to be visible at certain angles which meant that the D1 standard lights were illegal because of the spare wheel on the tailgate. So with the D1 updates tail lights and indicators were inserted into the rear bumper below the spare.  Side intrusion bars were also introduced with the same ADRS.

I doubt the rear jerry holders on the Perentie blocked the lights - more like power hungry paper pushers getting their rocks off.
