Fail a warrent on excess smoke.

[nos monkeys]

can someone let me know if it smokes to much please.

its my 1975 jaguar carby car, has 40,000kms on a full rebuilt engine. the wof guy reved it till valve float it let out a tiny puff then says its to much and failed.

he also failed me because he said my high beams are broken yet theres nothing wrong with them he just didnt know what he was doing. . . turn the lights on. . . flick the indicator lever/switch towards to turn high beams on. . . just like any other car!!!!! i showed him how to work the lights then he crossed that off the list but still said i fail because to much smoke.

here is a video of me reving it right out past red line and yeah i see a tiny bit of smoke but its nothing and it doesnt smoke at all under normal driving conditions or anything. . .

Where did you take it?

vinz down nayland road, my gfs mirage went straight through for a wof there not long ago and that didnt have any front brakes at all and rust on the roof, my legnum went stragith through for a wof there as well with a few exhaust leaks and 2 completely bald tyres yet my jag that actually has nothing wrong with it fails on bull****. before i even paid for the wof they were like it will fail on the smoke im like what smoke thought they were joking because it doesnt even smoke.

Take it somewhere else and see what they say I reckon lol

That looked more like steam than smoke. Was it fully warmed up when you took it in?

I had VTNZ try to fail me on frontal impact because I had a front mount intercooler... had to show them the crash bar wasn't cut, and even then they bitched about passing it. When the car's passed from them previously with no issues.
All depends on who you get on the day.

when i first got my legnum it smoked like a bat outa hell, new coils and sparkys later its running ok, gave it an oil change and cleaned the maf sensor and now it only smokes a little, going to do o2 sensor this week because its running rich on fuel, i also have holes in my exaust but my last car chrome tape fixed that and passed a wof
