Thks guys
To be honest it’s only a few months in realising after seeing that about using the key to remove that front passenger door cover
Please don’t ask how I know they break when u try and remove that cover without the key

Result , went in this morning for its retest and sailed through
No advisories either , so well chuffed and the last 12 x months hard work has paid off
Also meant to add, that’s with both egrs blanked , pipes fitted and used slim blanking plates between pipes and engine block

Hi,
did they mention anything about "preserving" the previous MOT date
called into a tyre place about getting an MOT start of August which is a month early but have said you can
No longer get 13 months its 12 months from date of MOT no matter when you bring it in
Gov-mot web site still says you can take in a month early less one day, may not affect you if due tomorrow anyway

Hi
Think our posts crossed as indeed passed this morning
Also month early still applies , is on the mot cert above
Also interesting ref mot, because it failed on the 20th so surely it must mean it was still valid till the 27th as they issued the new mot from the 26 th
tyre company must be reading something else as Indeed can still get the 13 x months

Thks mate
Has been well worth it ( apart from when i was swearing at the wishbone )
Am well pleased as there wernt any advisories
they didn’t notice the egr blanks or there simply not bothered seeing the emissions were ok
Not that I know how to read a report sheet
Ps, how have u got on with ur egrs pls
Second picture is pre egr blanking , don’t know if there’s much difference , or what the limit is ??

Picking ur brains plse guys
Comparing the opacity emissions
Last year without the egrs blanked its 0.63
Then it’s them blanked it’s 0.52
So in theory does that mean its producing less or is that only at Tiickover please
Thks in advance

Maybe less black stuff but more nox which isn't tested at mot station.
In fake Britain this week the lorry drivers said their trucks ran better and more efficiently without ad blue.
That's before you factor in the ad blue cost, which is a lot considering the miles they do

Can’t u just put a seat in and drive the rolling chassis to the mot station
Christ , would be a fantastic site to behold , also seeing his face as his jaw drops to the floor
May i ask do u use the ac twin gauges and hoses by any chance please
Reason I ask is if u test for leaks on the low side would that also test on the high side plse ,
As I’m also wondering then if u can test the differential either side of the evaporator to see if it’s leaking or not , putting a hose on each connections
