I got a defect on a company Nissan Patrol in 2001, was only 6 months old. The police officer observed that when I reversed out of the angled street parking that only one reverse light was working, tried to explain that this model only had one reverse light ex factory, told me I was an idiot if I thought he would by that story!! Even tried to show him, but he didn't want to have anything to do with it. Luckily I was in a larger country town, put the Patrol over the pits, the guys at the pits had a laugh and phoned the local traffic seargent who came over and had a look. He just laughed and apologised about the new idiot who doesn't know jack about cars.

What a joke, how can someone not see that is factory? And defecting you for it too? Gee.

BECAUSE, that particular driver-side rear body mount lamp unit should, but does not in Australia, bear a red rear fog lamp, - opposite that passenger reverse lamp,- as it does in GB.

Nissan didn't fit them here in AUS because we don't get bad fog, nor heavy rain; esp in daylight hours on freeways:-) We don't bushfire smoke, nor do we drive on gravel roads or in dustorms or blizards. The weather in Australia is *always* fine.

God, Australia's good.

SOMETIMES a cop will defect, sometimes RTA Certifying Engineer will overturn those. (Newcastle NSW has two who are overworked, we need more)!
