MOT,failed
So I took the car for an mot today,after having a new engine built,it failed on the emission's and been told its a common thing what with the size on the exhaust,and the fact that the new engine,has only done 10 miles,so he advised to take it for a run and drop it back tomorrow,it passed on everything else,apart from i had an advisory on front pads,and rear drop links....
So stroll on tomorrow morning....Dx

Make sure those cats are nice and hot, difficult to do with a new engine in the car. Had problems with mine a few years back as the MOT station is only 5 mins down the road. Since then I take the car for a 30 min spin to get the engine warm enough, that I can put my foot down and warm the cats up.

It's done 150 miles today, that's more than Jarvis does in about 3 months.
I picked it up from Leominster then a blast down to Brecon, then home.
It's definitely not had Miss Daisy in the back today, if it's raining next Saturday you might see Jarvis's car arriving on a car transporter.
