Ok its that time of year again when i go through the pain of trying to get the emissions down on the car to get it through its MOT.
I just wondered if anyone could help with the location of a friendly MOT tester in scotland (PM me with his details) or some ideas as to why my car emissions are running so high even when i put a standard exhaust back on it?, any help would be appreciated as time is not on my side an i'm in a bit of a rush to get this done.

could well be the lamda sensor mine did it last year really high readings changed it ........ spot on make sure you get an original one not a universal as there pap

My old Gtir couldn't pass an emmisions test for the first 2 years of my ownership with it......... then we got super unleaded here in the highlands of scotland, and the last MOT before i sold it....... went straight through.

Moral - are you using decent fuel.?

as above, could well be the lamda sensor. That was the problem the first year I put mine through.

Come on guys, do you really think anyone cares if your car is a bit more poisonous than others?
Just find a dodgy enough place and throw in another 50ty if you want it that bad.
Plenty enough of those in London, sorry cant help you about Scotland mate

Just got the car in for a test an the emissions are way up at 6 so its well over fuelling any other suggestions apart from the lambda sensor? which im trying to get at the moment.

There are ways around this "a friend of mine" passed his through the mot with a 20k service for £140. Thats in the NW though not Scot . Best bet is ask around at local meets or look for a test centre with a few jap cars outside, or your local tuners may be able to advise.
