Default Urgent Help......

Scooby failed it's MOT today....
  • Headlights not aligned
  • Power Steering not working
  • Emissions too high!!!

No idea what's up with the lights?

I was going to remove the Power Steering but if it had it when it left the factory, it has to work!!!!

And I can't believe the emissions... it still got the cat'd downpipe!!!!!

Any ideas?

Does anyone have a std exhaust?

Also....

They gave me an advisory because the rear door wouldn't open from the outside or inside, but that's because the button was pushed in!!!!!

cat's easy, rev the nuts off it for about 30 secs before they do the emissions test. any friendly mot tester would do that to get it through. surely you can take the power steering off as it's an import just say different spec to uk

(or just go to a friendlier mot station )
