Re: Failed Emissions on MOT

Looks like it wasnt hot enough, and your MOT guy is a willy.

Make sure its hot, front fans kicking in, coolant pipes at front to hot to touch, before you take it to them and tell them to do it as soon as you bring it in.

Do the lights pop up when they are only switched on sidelights when you flick the main beam on? Bulbs o.k? Do they work one way and not the other. e.g when y...

Re: MR2 will only start on full battery...
