Not the best news that i've had today when my car failed it's MOT. It's going to end up costing me an arm and a leg! It failed for the following:
- both front anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a pin/bush.
- offside rear brake disc excessively pitted.
- Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits.
I don't have a problem changing the anti-roll bar linkage and the rear discs, but i don't have the faintest idea about the emissions test. Can anyone explain in english what this means? Obviously i know it's due to high emissions but what does 'after 2nd fast idle' mean? I asked the guy at the garage about it but he was totally useless and told me maybe all it needed was a good drive before the test!
Any advice appreciated!
Cheers
Scott
