The MV6 had its' day today as well. Passed with no advisories. :y

.. and for those concerned about cat efficiency problems on a 3.2, from a 3.2 that puts the emissions light on permanently:

Fast Idle

CO level     0.01%     Limit     0.2%     Pass
HC Level     1         Limit     200     Pass

Natural Idle

CO level     0.01%     Limit     0.3%     Pass


Nothing much inefficient about those cats. :o

I'd have thought you would get the emissions tested on lpg... Only gets a basic test then ;) ;)

I thought so, but couldn't remember the rules, and the DVLA haven't been informed about the change of fuel yet, so no doubt the computer would need persuasion to let them carry out the BET, and this lot make a meal of anything to do with MOT computerisation.  :-X

Having had a Q plater MOTd there a few weeks after they went computerised I decided to just present it on petrol and not mention the LPG kit.

You are obviously not affected by 'Sods Law', mine need discs pads and drums for the handbrake, thought they were taking the piss until I checked on here that it has both on the rear! :'(
