Passed Engineer FAILED Blue Slip!!!!

[forkcy]

As the title says I passed my engineer certification and failed blue slip for a worn brake pedal (pluse windscreen wipers which are fine). Can anyone tell me have you fail a pink or blue slip with this much wear on the brake pedal

Some workshops like to always find something, makes it look like there doing these job to the rta.

I wouldn't have failed that....unless the customer was being a complete tosser.....

They are like $2, replace it and move on.

i never got to meet the guy till after he failed it droped the keys off next door
the funny thing is everything he failed me for he seemed to have in his shop

I don't think my mechanic has ever even looked at my pedal.

I did have a friend who had one mechanic who was so anal (or short of work) that he put a rag in the tail pipe to see if the exhaust had any leaks.

And I failed a blue slip once (even though I only needed the engine numbers checked for a swap, but that's another story ) because of a lack of radiator shrowd. Which I had in the boot ready to go on.

I have been advised to replace pedal rubber but wasn't failed Get yourself a new approver, like said they are only a few bucks

i've got another one now it was $6.
its just so annoying i have to stuff around and probable not be able to take it away this weekend
i just wish my local guys did blue slip, they would have had it past and the blue slip ready by the time i got there.

Once you have had a knock back for a blue slip, you can't change to another inspector, the RTA system won't let you, exactly so you can't go to dodgy brothers down the road to pass your POS that already failed.

So clearly, you should go to dodgy brothers first up.

mechanic sounds like a dick,you should tell him so AFTER he passes it lol
and dont go back there

I always ask mechanic to check car out first for what I'd need for.a blueslip / pinkslip that way its not in the system. If I like what they say then i tell them to do the actual slip.

but he charges you to check it out right?

then charges again for blue slip?

That mechanic must really hate you.

Think that is odd.
i passed a blue slip ok.
but got failed at tuff truck scrutineering for not enough rubber on the pedal.

lucky my navi that year had a FJ45 so we stole his pedal.

i guess you just pay your $6 and move on in life knowing you get to drive your junk now.
