problems:
Small hole in driver seat
Oil leaks, (mild)
Headlight lenses faded
windscreen scratched
need to replaced 2 rack boots
Are these all necessary in a rego check? i thought that they only check the brakes, tires, seatbelts, lights, etc.. need help guys... im desperate..

The guy sounds like a wanker!!
As for the legalities , just call your local transport authority. Or google it.

Umm, is this a joke?
The guy can't be serious.. headlight lenses faded LOL, I'd call the guy a tool but I'd be insulting everybody's toolkit they have at home.
Just take it to somebody else.

It's the rubbers which expand and contract on the end of your steering rack to stop crap getting into it.

I thought it was 3 months..
And do you have a nice and 'lenient' mechanic do you?
If so, he might be useful to know for the future..

They can pick you up on a 2mm windscreen scratch if they wanted. Hole in the seat? Now that's a load of crap as is the faded lenses? lol.

They can only get you for chips in the windscreen.. And if on the drivers side.. But, that is NSW..
