Silver Omega Now
I took my car in for the MOT it was flying through until the emissions test, blue smoke was pouring from the exhaust and as a result it failed.
My guess is the Cat is on its way out.
HI CO levels and excessive blue smoke.
On closer inspection I found the car had break all oil in and the garage still carried on ragging the nuts out of my car.
Oil issue was my own fault as I should have checked it.
I guess I do have one saving grace and that is I still have 7 days to take the retest, although not sure whether to just get it done and put my mind at rest.
Got it home did a full oil and filter change full tank of petrol and Redex and took it for a long run to london and back last night.

To me the drive was faultless and having had the car running this morning the only smoke visible was white due to the cold outside.
Blue smoke I know is a possible sign of valve stem seals and so long as I can get it through the MOT if it goes tits up afterwards I will just get it sorted. (fingers crossed its was just my stupidity of not checking the oil causing the smoke)
I do have a concern though as the past couple of times on first turn over its died and the EML flashes, I did the paperclip test earlier to find out the cause and it was code 1502.
1502 Immobiliser control unit n/a
Just one thing after another, but has anyone had this code before.
If so any advice would be much appreciated.
