I think this Saab is a one-of-a-kind as I think it was a gift from Saab.

In Queensland, I've seen the bubble Mazda 121, the AWD Mitsubishi Magna VRX and some red "high visibility" Monaros (yeah, I know they're just 2 door Dunnydoors :P )

Not sure which state, but I've also seen a Smart ForTwo in police colours in Wheels, might have been NSW or Vic.

i guess thats the whole point... you dont know... the only other thing that makes them stick out is the massive strobe light thing on the dash... if you see a car with something big and square on the dash chances are its a cop... the other thing that has saved my ***** is the unmarked cops often have a few more aerials sticking out that they use for all their equipment. i was driving down the M4 one time and i was behind a green commodore for a while. i thought to myself "no i wont overtake cos it looks shifty with all the antennas". lucky i didnt because they pulled into the servo and as i went passed the occupants were cops...

I read an article in the early 90's about a guy who was travelling along a highway behind a Suzuki Sierra soft-top, couple of surfies at the wheel, boards on top, cruising along just under the posted speed limit.

Guy decides he's sick of following the surfies, so when conditions allow, he pulls out and creeps just over the speed limit to go round the Suzi. Passenger surfy then reaches down and pulls a blue strobe light out from under the seat ... guy busted!

I think he was taking the matter to court, given they didn't actually record what speed he was doing, only that they placed him in a postion where he would need to go over the speed limit to overtake. Didn't find out the outcome, unfortunately.

Just watch those surfies out there, they're dangerous to your licence's health! :P

There is a dark (either blue or black) coloured Astra Turbo, totally unmarked with what sounds like it has had some serious work done on the turbo that patrols the Gateway Motorway/Bruce Highway here in Qld between Caboolture and the Gateway Bridge.

The High-Vis Monaro's are a great addition to the Qld Police fleet. You see them a mile away (they are Bright Red with Flouro Yellow and Orange stickering) so if you get cought then you really are a bl00dy idiot....

exactly what i was thinking....

Rallyart = Mitsubishi....

Wouldnt Subaru be STI?

Cos if its a WRX with Rallyart well we now know its a copper or an idiot who thinks stickers make your car go faster. LOL

Btw do coppers change the plates on these cars? Cos if they dont maybe should get a register going. :P

I'm hoping the rest of canberra crew know this already.

2005 V8 Landcruisers, either white, green, blue or maroon. Very dark tint, can just subtley make out lights on the roof rack. These are driven by the Resuce Unit. THEY WILL PULL YOU OVER lol. They did with me, but I got off. That's a secret though hehe.

All Queensland Government cars are registered in October - so unmarked police cars have a 10th month rego sticker.

But you will notice they put them on the side window of the car not the windscreen now.

I have heard the real undercover cops could be any month and any car.

Also all the fixed speed cameras are in 4WD's usually white land cruisers (although I have seen other colours).

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
