Easy to fail an emissions test even on lpg. Chances are you have a missfire at idle to get readings that high.

Silly question, why did you go to a garage with a bad reputation?

I presume it wasn't a maestro or montego as they only get tested at idle speed.

If you watched it on their test kit then chances are it is genuine as you can't easily fake the results during the test.

I would have thought that the later 'cat' cars would have to have the 2000 rpm test??

Lindz's J plate one didn't.

And 12 years from new makes it made in 1996 (assuming the first 3 years without MOT). Therefore not an M car.

because it was one of these multi nationals Formula one places and a mechanic there would do an easy job there and then if i needed anything doing...trouble is i didnt know that the MOT guy was abit of a fascist.

A maestro without a cat on an M plate.

Are you sure?

Ive been going to the same place for at least 15 years because the MOT guys are very fair and even let you go round with them as I have known them for so long :) but I guess in vosa's eyes this is all wrong :censored:
