The police can enter and search any place or vehicle, if they have reason to suspect that there are firearms, ammunition, explosives or restricted weapons that are there in violation of the Arms Act 1983.

Your car is for all intents and purposes the same as your house - they cannot search it without a warrant unless they suspect a reasonably serious crime has been committed, not a speeding ticket or minor traffic violation. And they need to give 7 days notice of doing so. COLFO and Nick Taylor the solicitor have posted comprehensive info on what Plod can and cant do, and what your rights are.
