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

 

you mean it failed emissions ?

Shaun

 

Yeah sorry Shaun,just edited it the post as I realised I missed the whole point of the post,I can't help it,im excited drove her for the first time in 3.5 years today,I haven't stopped smiling,lol.

 

Why would taking it back tomorrow help?

Has it got all the cats in place ?

Just curious, Shaun

 

Yeah all cats in place,I'm not really sure to be honest.

 

The probe won't be inserted as far tomorrow.
Wink wink.

 

Shhhh lol

 

There's a special probe for subaru imprezas its a well know fact.

 

My scoobys always Past with just the front cat :s

 

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.

 

There is a special probe for mine...............................go's into another cars exhaust

 

im having a big issue atm apparently new law meaning you need a visible cat in the system. so on the look out for a cat for the system annoying as i need to sell the car

 

pick another garage.

 

Exactly can't do that when running the engine in,and you have to stick to 3,000 rpm.

 

Really,why didn't I think of that!!

 

Woohooooo she passed......
So can hopefully attend some meets,in the not so near future.

 

+1 to that

 

Mine passes every time, from cold, no cat's,...



























And usually without even leaving the house

 

Mot tester comes to you incase it rains??


Nice one Ceri, and look after it now!!

 

That's so wrong

lol.

 

Cheers jimbob,I looked after the last one m8,it just WASNT BUILT PROPERLY....

 

Yes Dylan, you're right. The special probe turns my bugeye into a Nissan Micra

 

I love it when that happens...

 

Well mine passes by itself with no special tests, you lot will give Impreza owners a bad name.

 

Jarvis told me it`s cos you hardly drive it, and its serviced so often nothing gets dirty inside the engine?? And when you do its like you`ve Miss Daisy in the back.

But I don`t think that lol

 

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.

 

I also did some miles in her and miss daisy couldn't be further away from the truth
It's one of the most balanced cars in terms of power/brakes and suspension I have driven,very nice indeed!!

 

Thanks Ryan.
