It`s that time again......

Yeah, it`s MOT time.

The old girl is booked in for 10 o`clock so I`ve got a few hours to refit the cat and change over the injectors for oranges.

Then give a quick look over to make sure everything is OK :)

[M-R-P]

Good luck mate (although I doubt you'd need it) ;)

[V70 Graham]

Hope everything goes ok mate.

[Harvey]

Good luck.

I always dread MOT day, it's like waiting for test results from an exam.

[stribo]

Good luck mate.

[expolicev70t5]

Good luck, although looking at condition of you motor I'm sure you dont need it :D

Mine passed this week as well `97 V70 T5 the emissions were 1/2 the percent they are suppose to be!.......maybe HLM 304 + injector cleaner in the tank.......didn`t even warm the engine up went straight to the MOT just around the corner.

[oblark]

Well just back from the MOT centre..........

And she passed :) :) :)

but had a couple of advisories, rusty rear springs, surface rust on reat brake pipes and both outer CV boots slightly perished.

All jobs for the summer :)

Just waiting for the exhaust to cool down so I can remove the cat and refit the white injectors.

[M-R-P]

Eeeeexxxcellent!

[WOODY T5]

Well done to you both;)

[V70 Graham]

You're not going to be breaking it then?

[oblark]

NO

As I was in the process of changing over down pipes I would have a closer look at the exhaust sensor.

As most of the southern softies know the old girl does like to back fire ever now and then :)

Martin can tell you about the strong smell of petrol coming from my car so you would thought see was over fueling but for a car running a HLM map with whites and a 19T the exhaust sensor doesn`t look that bad :)

It will be interesting to she what it looks like when I run the blues at 3.8 bar :)

[M-R-P]

Interesting...:)

[oblark]

Mind you I got her to do a small back fire with oranges and a cat :)

[M-R-P]

Mine hasn't backfired once since the remap :)

I`m the same map as yourself but with the 18T with standard whites and the plugs are a similar colour to your Lamda sensor.....i did read that HLM 304 maps tend to run weak but i have never had any problem in 2yrs.
