Nervous MOT time

[Critical_Mass 10]

Well its that time of year again... the dreaded MOT! (flash of lightening and roll of thunder) :?

 

Its going into the garage tomorrow aft for the MOT doing on Friday. The only thing that needed replacing last year, which doesnt seem so long ago i might add, was a NSR solid brake pipe replacing. With no advisories :D

 

So fingers crossed it goes just as well if not better this year! :D

 

Tomorrow im fitting new front top mounts and bearings tomorrow and also going to do an oil change (which im looking forward to doing ... am i sad :lol: ? ) and getting the geometry set back up whilst its in for the MOT.

 

Wish me luck!

IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

 

No advisors either :D

 

Check these emission figures out -

 

CO % - max = 0.30 car = 0.22

HC ppm - max = 200 car = 17 :D :D :D

 

idle CO % - max =0.50 car = 0.06

 

Well happy for another year at least :D

 

wallpaper - how did you MOT go?

Sadly a fail :( , on the hand break! apparently not good enough so not the worst thing I suppose. Its got a bad misfire felt like it was really strugling so got to sort that also. Well done on the pass! :clap:

[wallpaper_01 0]

At least my emissions passed!:

 

CO % - max = 0.200 car = 0.100

HC ppm - max = 200 car = 11

 

idle CO % - max =0.300 car = 0.290

[Critical_Mass 10]

11 for HC!!!! i thought 17 was low on mine.

 

So did your car fail the MOT mate? :( what for?

[Dr. Robotnik 0]

idle CO % - max =0.300 car = 0.290

 

Hah, close!

Nicely done!

Just the hand break, going to take the callipers off tomorrow and have a look at it, think its the same as my old mk2 golf gti and it was a pain for crap hand break!

May just need adjusting mate, Take out the handbrake tunnel between the seats, theres some adjuster screws - one for each side

[V-Dubstar 0]

Here's my emmisions results :D

 

Fast Idle Test:

CO % Max = 0.200 / car = 0.004

HC ppm Max 200 / car = 1 :lol:

Lambda 0.970-1.030 / car = 1.005

 

Natural Idle:

CO % Max 0.300 / car = 0.016

 

:clap:

[Critical_Mass 10]

Those figures are even better still. :clap: :D

Mine has just gone in for MOT today...

I guess it's only fair I add to this thread as well when it gets back!

[Critical_Mass 10]

Course mate, feel free to add..

 

So how did it go.....?

[Dr. Robotnik 0]

Fast Idle Test:

CO % Max = 0.30 / car = 0.27

HC ppm Max 200 / car = 30

Lambda 0.970-1.030 / car = 1.003

 

Natural Idle:

CO % Max 0.50 / car = 0.23

 

Not quite as nice as yours but a pass nonetheless!

Though,

 

Reasons for refusal of a Test Certificate

 

001 Nearside front lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint [2.4.G.3]

 

And an advisory on rear brake hose ferrules are slightly corroded.

 

Nothing too bad! Should get it through tomorrow
