pocketrocket Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 the mot man didnt no what he was doin yesssss mine is a 1992 with no cat and passed fine lol Quote
ecksjay Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 they should always pass, unless the machine is fucked, or there is something seriously wrong with the car.... Quote
BlackTarw Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Love the fact MOTs will pass old/tuned cars as they improve the environment through the sound they make my Minis exhaust would turn your hand black but sounded awesome at 7k+ Quote

dac69er Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 the bloke who did mine hardly checked anything. it was a 15 minute MOT!when i fit my new blitz decat ill be fitting a brand new lambda so it rules that out. ive not noticed any rise in fuel consumption so i dont really know, i do suspect the lambda may be a bit knackered though.where did you get your lambda probe from?

scutch0 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 no idea mate... i got the guy who did the mot to get one and fit it... i was at my whits end with it!!!hope you get it sorted mate.all the best.Rich. Quote
