1. and 2. are the actual Warrant or Fitness Form.
On this form you have to state if the vehicle is petrol or diesel.
You also have to fill in if the windscreen washer is working or not.
Many workshops fail vehicles with damaged cv joint boots.But in fact the cv joint boots are not part of the WOF.
But the reason a vehicle can be failed for the damaged cv joint boots is because the grease from the cv joint could go in the brake system.And grease on the brake rotors and pads is not good.It could cause the vehicle not to brake properly.
And the brake pads and rotors get quite hot.And if there is grease on the rotors and pads,it can catch fire.
If the tyres on both sides are not of the same size,then thats a fail as well.
If the interior glazing is missing,then thats a fail as well.
The tyre numbers should be the same.This is because the different numbers are for the different speeds the tyres are designed for.
A.
The values may be a bit different to a BMW or some other big sedan because the Nissan Pulsar we were testing is a hatchback and much lighter in weight.
