Just a quick update.
MOT taken today, very nice people in the garage, plenty of interest in the blower.
Anyway, all went ok, forgot to change my sidelights over, this was done quickly while he was inside the car :winky:
Also the LED side indicators needed changing as they wern't amber enough, no problem, had the old ones in the boot.
Then came the emissions test with the manifold being de-catted I took the car in nice and warm and it stayed on tick over till the end. In went the rod, HC test was fine, Lambda sensor went red as did the CO, reading 0.485, minimum allowed is 0.200. Test failed. :o
Held the car at 2500RPM and the bloke tested it again, HC and Lambda sensor went green, and as soon as the engine hit the right temperature the CO reading shot right down to 0.012
Test passed :D :D
So the car needs to be really really warm before it passes. He gave me a print out of the emissions to keep in the car incase I get stopped in future.
