M1 Lupo Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Serviced it this morning and had the MOT done this afternoon. CO = 0.18. (Max is 0.20) HC = 57ppm. (Max is 200ppm) Lambda = 1.01. (Max is 1.03) It was over the limits 1st try, so I took it for a sprint run down the Amblecote road and back. Then she fell just inside the limits for the 2 x 30 second intervals and passed the natural idle. I was stressing out! big time, but £43 odd later I drove her home with a clean sheet and no advisory items! The tester said nice car, its in good 'nic'. You look after it! Felt proud. Went home and had a cuppa and a joint to celebrate. Edited February 28, 2008 by M1 Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1 Lupo Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 ******, that means mines due soon.Yes, its a pain but its that time of the year again. Andy, please could you do something for me? Any chance you could post up your Emissions test results? I want to see how different our cars are in 'unmolested' versus the manifold / BMC. I know mine runs heavily rich.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's at times like this that I'm glad we don't need to MOT our cars, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's at times like this that I'm glad we don't need to MOT our cars, yet.This is the longest I've ever kept a car, so its new and slightly irritating to me too.I checked, mines not actually due until May.
