So while passing through Bethlehem, I was pulled over by a traffic official and asked to drive into the traffic department for a vehicle test. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, I finally got to the front and very patiently tried to explain that they could not put my permanent 4wd Defender on the rollers to test the brakes. I ended up explaining to the entire team, as nobody understood this.
Anyway they were probably a bit embarrassed by all this, as an inspector then called me into the pit under the vehicle to show me the huge oil leak. Now here it gets really funny as I try to explain to him that all the Defenders I have owned "sweat" oil on the transfer box. There is no dripping leak, rather a thin layer of oil covering the transfer box.
They did not find it funny that I was almost rolling about laughing! I don't think they have seen many Land Rovers at that testing station.
The R300 fine was worth it for the hilarity of it all!
