 .... passed its MOT this afternoon. Close call with the emissions though - he'd to cheat a little to make it pass though 

It's predecessor had 175000 miles on the clock & used to do the emissions dead easy, this 'low milage' 105000 miles car has struggled with the past 2 MOTs

Emissions or Smog Test? Thought all diesels only had a smog test?

Did you not get chance to do an Italian tune-up on the way to test

Good engines those if it's the 1.7, had 5 of those engines in various different vehicles, only one let me down and that was a £100 fix  How old is the air & diesel filter, I know when I changed those on mine they smoked quite a bit less

It's still hooked up to the same bit of kit as they hook my petrol Omega up to ....... 

but, having just got the print off, you're right. It's a 'smoke opacity analysis' & the car's mean value was 2.78 (limit of 3.00  )

it's the 1.7 TD You're probably right with both filters, I noted the fuel filter had seen better days when I removed after my senior moment with the unleaded the other week and the air filter just got a 'blow job'  with an airline the lst time it saw day light. 
I'll try to do them both before next year's MOT

Yeh, Italian tune up / rag the *()&^ off it just before the MOT works wonders!

No matter how you treat it though, I bet it won't give up.

It's perfect for what I want, cheap car (£400 off eBay) to get me to work & back.
