As per above, this site has saved me an absolute fortune in repairs for my miggy and met some lovely members on the way. Ive had my miggy exactly 1 year today and i must admit, is the loveliest Vauxhall ive ever owned, not the cheapest, but the loveliest. Ive had a few ups and downs with it and i think ive just about got everything sorted on it that needs doing and is still running sweet after 11 and a half years.
To add to this, i took her for her MOT today and passed straight away which i honestly thought wouldnt happen, and no advisories either, so im one very happy chappy.
As per my " £28 MOT " thread, i thought id give it a go, booked it in after changing all the tyres and a pair of wipers, took it down this morning and read a magazine while i waited, i was so suprised that it had passed and they also gave me a free winter check which was fine apart from they said the anti-freeze was getting weak, so will change in due course.
For any experts on emmisions, these were the figures........................
Engine speed measurement by-passedEngine Oil temp measurement by-passed (cooling fan running)Fast idle testCO %vol: Max limit - 0.200 /// Actual - 0.068 PASS
HC ppm vol: Max limit - 200 /// Actual - 68 PASS
Lambda: Min limit - 0.970 /// Max limit 1.030 /// Actual - 1.001 PASS
Second idle test - not doneNatural idle testCO %vol: Max limit - 0.300 /// Actual - 0.013 PASS
Not sure what all the figures mean, but it passed
So, once again, many thanks to people ive met, advice given and for members guides on the site, i cant thank you all enough.
Keep the OOF spirit alive
