Post by: dom on 11 June 2014, 22:01

Just for reference...this is what happens if you go for an MOT without a cat :whistle:

It went into a garage that a mate works in on the basis they'd turn a blind eye to the emissions :angry:

Also some stupid advisories:

Don't blame them for failing it on emissions as well!

Car will need to be back for a retest and you want to test and pass a dodgy MOT and get rid straight away in case of a VOSA inspection.
