MOT blues
« on: 26 September 2009, 11:19:47 »

Well sadly she has failed on a couple of bits:

Rear exhaust not adequately supported, easily sorted

Nearside rear brake pipe excessively corroded

Front to rear brake pipe excessively corroded

Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits! reading was 1.11 then 1.07 against a limit of 1.03

Brake pipes will be made up by the local factors but the emissions im not sure of so any advice welcomed!

Happy to do Omega servicing etc around Merseyside,cruise activation, airbag lights sorted too...

'Italian Tune-up' then straight onto the emissions tester.

just been under and there is some surface corrosion on the brake pipes but doesn't seem too bad and could clean up, really don't fancy replacing the front to back due to the complex bends, dismantling and so on. Any idea what would be a supply and fit price for this would be????

Exhaust was just the rubber had slipped off.

Found a small split on the ICV pipe and wondering if this would affect the emissions???
