Lindell inspection shop (Fin: Katsastus Lindell Oy) is the car inspection office owned by Lindell. The Satsuma can be inspected here by Lindell for 325 mk. The inspection shop is open from 08:00 to 16:00 during the weekdays (Mon-Fri). The building cannot be entered during closing hours.

Note on the doors, informing the player about the hours of working.

The Satsuma should be inspected before being taken on the highway, but as long as police checkpoints are avoided, an inspection is only needed for competing in the Rally Sprint Race. The car needs to be re-inspected every four weeks after the initial inspection. When an inspection is due soon, Lindell will send the player a flyer by mail.

Getting the car inspected[]

The inspection office is located just past Teimo's shop, take the next left after Pub Nappo and the large warehouse should be visible on the right.

Park the car on the car lift just through the garage door. Be careful to position the car properly, as it will be lifted in whatever state it was left on the racks.

Inspection

Walk around to the office where the inspector is situated, pay the man 325 mk and he'll do the job. He'll hit the car in all the right places to listen for any issues; the magical tool will reveal any problem, from unbolted seats to a poorly-tuned carburetor. His actions are a parody of real Finnish inspectors eagerly employing pointy tools to check for rust damage.

How to pass[]

To pass the inspection, the car must be fully functional. Brakes (handbrake and service brake) must work and must not leak. No fluids can be leaking. Suspension must be installed, bolted, and the long coil springs must not be used. Only some aftermarket parts pass; see list below for details. All body parts must be present and the windshield. The warning triangle must also be present somewhere inside the car; it can be acquired from the tractor by pressing RMB to remove it. Make sure to check the front lights, they can burn out and cause the inspection to fail.

The Satsuma must have relatively new tires but not the slick or rally tires installed, they are not road legal. As long as the tire condition is over 60%, they are guaranteed to pass inspection (as long as they are not a banned tire type). The actual percentage needed to pass is randomly generated for each save (between 45% and 65%). Tire wear can be checked with the ruler. The choice of wheel does not matter. It should also be noted that the Satsuma will pass the inspection regardless of whether the roll cage is installed or not.

Re-inspection[]

Lindell's re-inspection advert.

Each inspection lasts for 28 days, getting the car re-inspected is the same process as the first time it was inspected, only the register plates won't necessarily have to be re-fitted.

Once 21 days have passed since a passed inspection, Lindell will leave an advert in the player's mail box as a reminder to re-inspect their Satsuma.

The re-inspection advert roughly translates to;

Your car: VBX-403 inspection time approaches...

Permitted and forbidden parts[]

The below sections list what parts can, cannot, or must be installed to the car to pass the inspection; they are separated into three categories: stock parts, upgrade parts, and other/miscellaneous parts.

Stock parts[]

The stock parts include car parts that originally came with the Satsuma, all of these parts can be found in the garage at home.

The following stock car parts are not required to be installed for the inspection:

The following car parts are required to be installed for the inspection:

Upgrade parts[]

The upgrade parts include car parts that can only be acquired by buying them from the parts catalog or finding them around Alivieska.

The following car parts are permitted to be installed for the inspection:

The following car parts are forbidden for inspection:

Other parts[]

The other/miscellaneous parts include car parts that can be found around Alivieska and are not stock parts for the Satsuma. Out of all of these parts, only the following are forbidden be installed for the inspection:

Emissions[]

The car must pass a basic emissions test. The test checks to see that the car's air-fuel ratio is greater than 14.05 and that the pistons are greater than 10% condition. To pass emissions, check to see that the air-fuel ratio is not less than 14.05. To check, look at the exhaust color and see if it is clear or clear-white. Using the tuning option from Fleetari Repair Shop on the carburator or twin carburators should pass. Ensure that the choke is pushed in. The check sees what the car's current air-fuel ratio is, which may differ from what it is at operating temperature.

What to do with the results[]

Inspection receipt

After the inspection is complete, a boarding card will appear on the desk in front of the inspector. An English version of the card can be viewed by clicking the Union Jack in the top right. If the car passed, the inspector will hand over the Register plates which can be applied to the car.

The column on the left shows a list of parts. If a part is crossed with an 'X' it means that the part is either missing, damaged or not applicable. The note on the right reads: "This car is just a huge pile of waste."

Failure (HYLÄTTY) will cause the player to gain stress, and the player will have to pay an additional 325 to inspect the car again, while being accepted (HYVÄKSYTTY) will cause the player to lose stress and not to have to reinspect for another 28 days.

The Rally Sprint Race can be taken part in with a fully inspected car. If the car does not pass inspection, Fleetari (the rally organizer & mechanic) won't accept the application. A passed inspection is also necessary to avoid being fined at a police checkpoint.

Tips[]

Here are a few tips on how to pass:

  • Read the acceptable parts section carefully, and make sure the Satsuma does not have any forbidden parts installed.
  • Make sure the car is fairly straight on the car lift, as it may fall off when the man hoists it up. It doesn't have to be exactly in the middle though.
  • If an item is showing up as failed, even though it's most certainly fully attached (and not aftermarket), fully remove the item and re-apply it.
Note: The license plate text and visuals can be changed; see game modifications. Requires fairly basic knowledge of UAE and a .dds editor such as paint.net.

Trivia[]

No parking inspection office

No parking signs on the right side of the garage door at the inspection office.

  • There are no parking signs on the walls of the inspection office & the repair shop.
    • These signs warn you from the garage doors, as they will be shut when the business closes at 4pm.
    • The latter sign reads "Automaattiovi, älä pysäköi oviaukkoon" which means "Automatic door, do not park in the doorway".
