Once your medicals arrived you can check their status online and they change from being received, in progress, finalised or referred (I can't remember all but I think that's it) I used to check each morning when I woke

Hi, ours took 10 days or so to arrive and they were processed within a week. Mine was referred to MOC and I had to wait another 3 weeks before it was finalised

Hi, you don't need to certify a cv just the references you get from former employers etc. I had 3 references all certified. I also copied my qualifications certificates and got them stamped and signed too. Hope this helps

Hi,

 

I would'nt waste your time or money ($50 per application). The name on the import application must be the same name that appears on the log book and (as you know) it is that name that must have owned the car for 12 months at the time of application.

 

Cheers

Useful thread!! I will do some reading on this. I know the car has to be owned for 12 months and have ability to use the car... I wonder if they will allow 6 months, and 6 months owned by my father, but I have had use of the car hmmmm. I am going to submit a covering letter and detail my personal circumstances.

Hi ironchef I am looking to import my car, a 2007 ford focus st into austrailia from Ireland, I only own the car a month. I am just wondering if you could help me out with some info on how to go about doing this as I can not seem to source solid information on custom requirements and the tax and registration I need to get the car on the road in W.A. any help would be great thanks

Hi, If you apply for import approval now having only owned the car for one month your application will be refused. You must have owned it for 12 months at the time you submit your application. There is lots of information on this thread regarding the rules and regulations which includes tax and registration.

thanks

Hi,

Yes there is an LCD display between the two main dials. Can you send me the link to where i need to buy what is needed.

The car is a limited edition and only 40,000 miles.

Thanks very much

Sorry Steve,

I was having a blonde moment. I dont think i need to buy anything. Where can i get the odometer changed to km or should i just leave it until i get over to oz?

Thanks

If the odometer is mechanical (i.e. the mileage is displayed by a row of small wheels with numbers painted on) then I believe the clocks need to be replaced. The issue is your car will be displaying mileage travelled, rather than kilometres travelled, which might be misinterpreted when you come to sell.

 

One option to consider is to buy some Kp/h clocks here and ship them with the car. Then, if they do need to be fitted, at least you are not stung with buying new.

 

 

Having just checked ebay for some clocks - If you have a Mk2, then don't you have the mileage in an LCD display at the bottom between the two main dials? If so - this is what can be switched electronically.

 

To add to that though - Do the maths add up on an 11 year old MX-5? Unless it's very low mileage, modified or of sentimental value?!?

From advice I have been given, it seems that analogue speedometers with both Mp/h and Km/h are fine - but the odometer must read in Kms. Some cars with digital odometers can be switched between Miles and Kms. Some need a diagnostic computer (garage) to perform this task.

Thanks Steve,

My car is a year 2000 mx5 and does not have a digital display, just as i mentioned, Mph on the outer and Km/h (smaller font size) on the inner speedometer, so you are saying it should be fine?

Cheers

Hi,

Please could you advise if i should get my speedometer changed in the UK before shipping. The dial reads Mph on the outer and Km/h on the inner, or will this pass the relevant inspection as it is?

Your assistance is appreciated
