...on a rear spring. Not really a surprise because I knew it was busted ::) ::) ::)
On the plus side it was the only thing though :y :y :y
Emissions tested on LPG and CO: 0.00, HC: 238 :y :y :y
Couple of bits underneath that need waxoil but all OK.
Oh... And I must adjust the handbrake cable... Efficiency is all ok but travel is more than I'd like :y :y

bugger, but easy fix :)
Obviously, do both sides.

Yep... Just ordered a pair of springs and I'll fit the 2nd hand shocks I've got at the same time to get rid of the annoying air leak ::) ::)
Like I said... I knew about it anyway so wasn't a great surprise ::) ::)
Gone with standard saloon springs to go with S/L shocks as a few people have done with no ill effects :y :y

That HC level is a little high. :-?

Was a very lazy test and car had been idling for a while... Not overly concerned at the moment TBH... I'm due new air and LPG filters and just haven't gotten around to it ::) ::)
-
mine failed on rear spring LD aswell ! seems these speedhumps are biting back............... >:(
-
Unlucky :(

Unlucky :(
Ta... But no biggie really... I expected it ::) ::)
Only a couple of hours and it'll all be done, with new shocks too :y :y

If you presented it on LPG it should not have had an emissions test AFAIK ... thast what I was told 2 weeks ago when mine was MOT'd ...

Afraid you were told wrong... It does have an emissions test but not a cat test... Basically just has to be within the basic test limits of CO<3.50 and HC<1200 :y :y :y
It's a common mistake for garages to get it wrong if they don't do MOT's on LPG cars

I'll take your word for it .. but this guy does a lot of LPG cars ... He asked me what fuel I was running .. when I said LPG he never did any sort of emissions test at all .. still gave me a pass certificate :)
I watched the whole test.. some of it from quite close up !!! The tester called me forward to show me a couple of things that he thought I "might like to do when I get the chance" .. :)
Was nice and friendly .. but thorough, as far as I could see ..

took the 2.5 for re-test today. after adjusting the handbrake it sailed through. :y

Well done Johnty & best of luck on the retest Lazy docker. Seems to be a busy MOT time on here just now. Jaimie seems to have both of his in the same week & all going well the Beastie's going in this week.
fingers crossed all round. ::) :y
-
Re-test will be no problem... Just got to find a couple of dry hours to change them ::) ::)
LPG emissions are a bit of a grey area for MOT's at the moment. Any multipoint system should pass with flying colours which is probably why he didn't bother :y :y
I had a good nose about underneath the car whilst it was on the ramp and we spotted a couple of areas which need a bit of waxoil but TBH the tester said he was pleasantly surprised how good the car was, with the exception of the springs ::) ::)
-
Did mot on jeep 4.0 lpg same place every year never botherd testing
but this year, did sayed had to do it but gas should be no problem . Maybe they look for HFC me no understand (unburntfuel/oil)?
-
Just a thought maybe the big DVLA comp goes Ape with out an emmissions test per vehicle on a test
-
Also it does test the lambs sensors pfm to me
-
rather weather!!!!
Done one spring and the shock with the leaky airbag... Had a bit of a mare as couldn't drop the arm quite enough and my spring assisters wouldn't fit >:( >:( >:( >:(
In the end I just compressed the spring and tied it off with good rope, fitted and then cut the rope ::) ::) ::)
I'll do the other side tomorrow as I'm not working in the rain ::) ::)
