i did not work on his car and it has passed the wof with no power steering for 5 years so thats 10 wofs and never was a issue till the guy looked in the bowl and found it dry and rusty lol. on a 70s volvo no one will know as most cars never had power steering back then even that model was made with and without . its more like power assist back then wof guy done 9 wofs and never figured it had no fluid in the power steer unit . Again i never tuched the car the guy is the free man on the land and dont pays no landrates either. the problems are if you have no wof and you park in town the council thugs will put a ticket of 250$ under your windscreen for no current wof display , so he did need a quick fix . and since it never even had power assist working ever since he owned it . i said why did you never just remove the scrap the volvo is seriously old and left hand drive so there is absolute 0 chance anyone will proof it is suposed to have power asistence steering.

Tires. Do they have too be same make model thread pattern etc if on same end of car. Or just size.

you can only adjust them down. Then back up. You cannot adjust them up. The most upward position is set at cutoff lines prescribed by ltsa
A power steer rack is easily identified in comparison to a non-power steer rack, so this story does not stack up at all. Sounds like a tall tale to me lol!

The size must match the opposing tyre on the same axle and the load rating must not differ by more than two indices. Have a look at the VIRM (WoF Bible) Heres the rules: Tyres
1. Tyres on the same axle are not of the same:
a) size designation (see Table 10-1-3), or
b) carcass type (ie mixed steel ply, fabric radial ply, bias/cross ply, run-flat), or
c) tread pattern type (mixed asymmetric, directional, normal highway, traction , winter tyre tread (Figure 10-1-3)).
2. All the tyres on a vehicle class MA, MB, MD1 or NA that was first registered or re-registered in New Zealand from 1 October 2002, other than vehicles that are incapable of exceeding 30km/h or are 30 years old or more, are not of the same carcass type (ie mixed steel ply, fabric radial ply, bias/cross ply, run-flat).
3. A class MA, MB, MC, MD1, MD2 or NA vehicle fitted with a winter tyre (Note 3) is not fitted with winter tyres on all road wheels.
4. The tyres on an axle of a light vehicle do not meet at least one of the following:
the tyre ply ratings are the same the tyre load indices differ by no more than 2 (Note 4).
5. An asymmetric tyre is fitted to a vehicle with the ???inside??

Not true. the testing station inspector actually drives the vehicle, puts the vehicle up on the hoist and "inspects" the steering components visually and will notice immediately the disconnection of the hydraulic hoses/lines. They aint stoopid!

My headlights are adjusted at the mountings for high beam to be correct at midrange on the electric control.
It seems that switching to 'dip' reduces the forward position of the lit area more than usual compared to my other vehicles, using the electric adjuster to raise the headlight angle helps in this situation.

But the three issues the OP has stated ARE all safety issues. That's what we are talking about.

Actually I was answering #23 with that Post which you seem to have conveniently ignored. Anyway the OP in #1 was asking if he could potentially go somewhere else for a retest

I'd reply but there seems to be a big chunk of this thread missing--including your post-25 is now about dumed tyres

I think you are mixing me up with someones else - I never wrote #25

nope--Ive got fat finger itus but not mixing you up YOUR post that I quoted has gone. Post 23 that YOU were quoting has gone. So I can't even remember what its in reference to ANYHOO-- I agree that a lot of rules are knee jerk ill thought out and totally idiotic at times. But the three specifics the OP quoted aren't on that list. Tyre is or isn't below minimum tread depth/split etc. Glass headlight does or doesn't have a hole in it Rust either is or isn't "surface rust" in a structural area,
