Matt Glanza Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 If it's newer than a 95 then it has to go through a basic cat test as there is no engine code info for the glanza.I had this problem till I found that because my engine came out of a 91starlet just an idle test Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shelly_star Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 There is a flow chart that you can print out for your MOT guy which can found on here somewhere, i did have it saved on my laptop but somehow it's disappeared, but yeah, all i did was printed that out and gave it to my MOT guy and said that my car doesn't need a cat test Quote Link to post Share on other sites
