And She Flew Through it.  

The guy who did the mot was great let me go in his pit and have a look at the underside of the car pointed out places to keep an eye on in years to come.

I am really Surprised i thought she would fail on a couple of things but nope stright through.

May be i am being to picky when driving her i keep thinking the wish bones need replacing which i might still do as she pulls left and i have new wishbones sat in the basement.

One thing I am bit iffy on was the Emissions test i left the car on LPG and the Guy said the emissions where Really High is this normal as he had not set his computer for LPG, I flicked it over to Petrol And He said the emissions were spot on.

I though with it being on GAS when he tested it with his computer set to petrol Mode the Emissions would be Near on Zero not High.

Yay on it passing!  

Can't comment on the lpg as I know virtually nil on the subject!

It doesn't surprise me....these LPG contollers seem pretty basic and dont monitor the exhaust gases....

Great news Craig    No worries for another year

Just out of intrest which emissions were high during MOT as they analyise 4 gases.  :question

[Craig_R]

I was running On LPG and he had the system set for Petrol when it was set like that he said the emissions were coming out high. Which i thought was odd

As soon as i put the Car over to petrol he said the emissions were spot on.

I was alittle stumped as i thought running on LPG the emissions would be low not high with the MOT computer set to petrol.

Well done on the pass  

LPG emissions should be next to nothing.....i dont understand either if they were higher than petrol emissions  :-/

Usually they hardly register on the emissions test.....

Only thing i can add is take it to an lpg installer to have emissions checked again.....it is possible you have a stuck injector and its using petrol as well.....im a bit suspucious about mine at the mo.....its using petrol too quickly for my liking.....and its hunting a tad on idle....like 700rpm to 500rpm and then back again....ive gone thro nearly £20 of petrol in just over a week....normally that lasts at least a month

Well done CraigR  

hope the new head gasket still holding
