Not puttting the probe right up the exhaust wont work on an emmision test in the uk as the machine will sense the extra oxygen & fail the car automatically. The only way i know to cheat it is to have a car with ok emmisions parked next to the one being tested & to put the probe up that instead !! Very risky tho & not really the right thing to do either.

There is another way of getting past emissions. Don't stick the prob right up the pipe, But just wave it near the exhuats for a reading. That's what 99.9% of MOT stations do to get their race cars through. The whole system is rubbish. I have some race cars which are not on the VSOH list and can't pass the emissions test. I've got to use a later model which has the cat in place and makes the cars fail on it. Very annoying, But know how to get around it. It's a case of who you know, Not what you know. VOSH need to update their car list and sort it out. If you lived in Wales I could sort it out for you. What we do to lower emissions is to add some Forte engine treatment and floor the arse of the car for a while before the MOT. Use the overdrive and power button to get the revs up. It's funny how many cars fail the MOT emissions due to the fact they are not hard driven. We have a few micras who belong to old people and never get hard driven until the MOT time.
