    Was the correct engine code entered when running the emissions test ... sometimes it's possible for the tester to enter the wrong code ... if you catch my drift ...

    How badly did it fail?

    How many times did they repeat the test?

    Did they take it out for a blast before the emmisions test, to get the exhaust and O2 sensors really hot, remember 600C (or so) to get the O2 sensor working correctley. at least they could have reved it to 5000rpm for a good few minutes to the same job, but not as well.

    Be interseting to here what you went through to try to get it through the emmisions, or was it nothing at all.

    but you probably know this already, as you are one of the ancients of the club with a ID of 12.

    hope it helps anyway, Dave

    Bye for Now!

    just stick Diesel badges over it, put old oil in it and let those lash adjusters sing their little hearts out.

    That will convince anyone

    The other option is that WRD gets certified for doing mots??? That would make many many members happy

    Here in NZ all the tester has to do is look at the back with the engine reving for 10 seconds to see if there is any smoke. Much simplier.

    Yes, but I am pretty sure Derek's would fail that test as well ...
