place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
the yellow thing is in for it's MOT... i'm gonna say fail, 4 items and 2 advisories
RE: place your bets - Mattcheese31 - 23-10-2014
You should know lol
RE: place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
lol i'm betting those 4 items are emissions, everything else is ok i think
RE: place your bets - Norledge - 23-10-2014
1 Fail - Emissions based
1 Advisory - Wanky paintjob
TBH I don't class it as a fail until it's on 4 pages.
Bollocks beat me to it.
RE: place your bets - Dum-Dum - 23-10-2014
I wouldn't class it as a fail till SRowell thought it was unsafe to drive.
RE: place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
i class a car as being un-roadworthy when asked "you gonna take the kids in the car?" and you have to think for more than 10 seconds whether that's a good idea
RE: place your bets - Toms306 - 23-10-2014
It won't fail...the tester will be too busy giggling at the paintjob to notice anything wrong....

Hehe.
Pass with advisories
RE: place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
Fail -
tester was interested in the paint actually, even though he wrote it down as 'green' LOL
2 items, (technically three, but who's counting)
both front headlights are shagged - the inner lens is cloudy and throwing no pattern at all, might even have the wrong bulbs in it as well, no idea ? anyone know what bulbs should go in twin optics?
second - emissions, CO was up in the 5% range, and not coming down when revved, however as i pointed out to the guy, he did test it at about oh i dunno - FLAT COLD, it was reading 75-80 degrees on the guage after the test, and when i asked about it he said anything over 80 is fine, and he tested it.... so no hot exhaust to make the cat start working, and the normal operating temp in this is anything from 90-95.....gawd dumbass... it had a new cat, lambda sensor / gaskets etc in july so shouldn't be a problem there
just have to work through the obvious stuff it could be.. air leaks, sensors, blowing exhaust joints just to have peace of mind then get it retested after a hoon
RE: place your bets - Toms306 - 23-10-2014
Hmm, that sucks.
Was the new cat a pattern part?
RE: place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
it was a genuine one iirc, wasn't cheap
i really think it was just because he didn't let the cat warm to it's optimum point before the test, i also only heard one fast idle test, and probably should've pointed out that if it fails the 1st one, there should be a second (if nothing has changed regarding how the emissions test should be run)
RE: place your bets - Toms306 - 23-10-2014
Ah, that should be alright then.
RE: place your bets - Niall - 23-10-2014
Twin optic head lights should have 2x H4s per light.
With regards to emissions, the tester sounds like a dick. Older cars will struggle to pass a test if its just been left on the ramp to warm up. If i was you, get the headlights sorted then book it back in and take it for a right royal ragging on the way there. You need to get the coolant up to temp and if you have a oil gauge, get that oil up to 90. If you don't have a gauge, just take it for a long ragging. That should Just get it through.
Also, was the lambda a genuine/bosch item?

Sorry yes i do. My bad!
RE: place your bets - Toms306 - 23-10-2014

Pretty sure they have h7 for dip and main beam
RE: place your bets - Toms306 - 23-10-2014
Hmm, always thought they were different to the ph3 bulbs but I may be wrong.
RE: place your bets - John1.4 - 23-10-2014
from the pics i'm looking at for them, they do look like H1's, the holders have 2 holes to locate the 'bumps' on it, anything bigger just wouldn't fit,
currently sitting alongside a disassembled twin optic with the inner lens being treated to some brasso (well... didn't have any, so gone through mums cupboards and found solme silver polish
)
