Starbuck Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 U will need a cat to pass. Glanzas are well above the period when a basic idle test was all that was needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeeroyV Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 right 2nd hand cat it is then... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 my understanding is the car doesnt have to have the cat fitted provided it can still pass the basic emisions test which if its maped correctly it should.abs wise u either have to remove all the abs parts from the car as if it has them it most work or if u need a temp fix is times are tough u can pikey style the light so ull pass the mot but obv ud still want to get it sorted asap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 sounds good i had a prob with mine for ages would come on every now and again. then found out the pattern it would come on in the shitty weather and when i power washed the car it would go off again so musta been getting some shit stuck in it. nice when its a good cheap easy fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
