SpeedFreak Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 As the title says, my car passed the mot yesterday....after initially failing!!It failed on:* No horn* No rear fog* EmissionsI knew about the first 2, and had a horn fitted and wired up a temp fog. But emissions surprised me, as I haven't got a de-cat and they said nothing last year. But apparently the lam-sensor (Sp?) is fooked. From what I know this is the one in the exhaust?? I am right?But hopefully, now I have 12months mot it might sell easier! Quote
Glanza-Love Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 i have no rear fog but passed oh yeh!and to get a good emissions reading you need to take your car out and give it a good booting... then youll get a good reading, reads best when warm ;) Quote
Jozinobi Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Glad to hear the good news Stace.Mine is next month and Im dreading it.Still sad you are selling up but I guess needs must...Hope you will still visit us here ;)Joz Quote
SiCaln Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 great news, passed mine only a few weeks ago thankfully Quote
joe-ep91 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Got mine tomorrow! Think mine's gonna even fail the non-cat test! ;) Quote
Starletraje Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 i thought imports that don't exist in this country were exempt from emmissions testing...? Quote
MattyCD Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 i thought imports that don't exist in this country were exempt from emmissions testing...?i thought it was older than 10, maybe some peoples were registered late 98/early 99 Quote
Asad Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 ^^ tru but they have some sort of basic test.....most people on here have failed there emmisions or had an advisory (mine took a while to warm up but my old man let it idle for a while n did it again) Quote
Sparky Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Its a strange one, some MOT'ers dont have a clue about imports and base them on the UK spec (n/a) Starlet and obviously the emissions are way different ;) Quote
Asad Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 most testers generally dont test imports everyday so are not "upto date"/"remember" what to do but i would have thought they would just make the mistake of the side repeaters and not the emission aswell..... ;) Quote
Sparky Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The Glanza is meant to have side repeaters to be legal in teh UKI tried that one but ended up having to chop the ZEP fenders to fit some ;)God damn MOT's Quote
Asad Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 whats that about when the tester has to stand 50cm away from the rear wheel to see the "repeater"? Quote
Sparky Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Some cars dont have repeaters if they have "wrap around" indicatorsGlanzas/Starlets have theses but the ones that dont need repeaters are E20 wrap around lenses and the Starlet ones are E5 or somethingLoada bollocks if you ask me, can clearly see my front indicators when stood at the rear of my car even with the flared wings ;)Look you got me started now Quote
SpeedFreak Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 LOL Calm down Sparky! In answer to Joz - Of course I will still come on here, what else would I do with my time at dinner?? This keeps me from boredom! Quote
Jozinobi Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 ^ Thats great to hear Stace ;)Hope we can all have more fun times on UKSC.Your knowing me knowing you questions are great.I will have to think of some...Joz Quote
