Hi.My hubdometer went AWOL off my truck a week or so ago and have just had another fitted.Do I have to do anything else!What I mean is that my RUC's show 80-100k and the hubdometer is now at zero.

After a bit more googling i found it:
When a hubodometer is lost or damaged and/ or found to be faulty, a replacement hubodometer is to be purchased, fitted to the vehicle and a road user licence purchased in conjunction with the replacement hubodometer. A Change of Hubodometer form RUCHO (page 25) will need to be completed. If there is any unused distance left on the licence purchased for the lost or unusable hubodometer the amount may be refunded once the RUCHO form and original RUC label/s are received at Transport Registry Centre and processed.

Yes, a hubodometer on a work truck went faulty (had a stray bit of metal inside that jammed it) and we had it replaced by our mechanic. Nobody thought to tell LTSA about it and it went unnoticed until next COF time. At this point there was all sorts of strife about RUCs etc.

You would think that the people selling/installing them would hand you the form and let you know that you have to go see LTSA!

Contact LTNZ (was LTSA) give them the serial no of old hubo and proof of damage. They refund the unused mileage, then you go thru the oppisite procedure to obtain mileage ror your new hubo

just went thru it a month ago. 260,000km on one hubo - not too bad. however. had an interesting bit of paper turn up from LTSA afterwards. basically saying the hubo was .78% out, the they enclosed a bill for the difference. i kid you not.

Because they can be easily disconnected! And they're not certified as accurate!

We assumed the mechanic had taken care of everything - especially as he normally did the COFs too.
