Im with Huntington on this one!
Mine came out with 17 rejected items and Id already done the big jobs like steering rack and front brakes.
I took my oil leak and had it steam cleaned and bolts tightened up and it was back to the rwc place within 2 days and that item was passed. Its only just started leaking again the last couple of weeks and my rwc was in october. So if its not a major leak, a steam clean of your engine will get you by.
I had other items like my bushes on the back were stuffed, side skirts loose,windscreen and the child booster seat in the back wasnt tethered in ( i just took it out the car).
My rejected items cost me a further $400 all up it cost me almost $3k to get this car all up to scratch.
If you shop around, some wreckers offer a fitting service for parts and it halves the cost compared to if you fitted new.
I found a good parts recycler/mechanic and he has pretty much rebuilt my car way cheaper than the mechanics/parts places local to me.
I also asked on here for recommended RWC testers who werent going to tear me a new one for the hell of it. I got a good place that was thorough enough but not overboard.
I think the other posters have been helpful. If you come on here and ask legitimately and don't whine like a princess, you will get some good advice.
