.... passed its MOT this afternoon. Close call with the emissions though - he'd to cheat a little to make it pass though ::) ::)
It's predecessor had 175000 miles on the clock & used to do the emissions dead easy, this 'low milage' 105000 miles car has struggled with the past 2 MOTs :-\ :-\ :-\

Emissions or Smog Test? Thought all diesels only had a smog test?

Did you not get chance to do an Italian tune-up on the way to test ???

Good engines those if it's the 1.7, had 5 of those engines in various different vehicles, only one let me down and that was a £100 fix :y How old is the air & diesel filter, I know when I changed those on mine they smoked quite a bit less :)

It's still hooked up to the same bit of kit as they hook my petrol Omega up to ....... :-\ :-\ :-\
but, having just got the print off, you're right. It's a 'smoke opacity analysis' & the car's mean value was 2.78 (limit of 3.00 ???)

it's the 1.7 TD You're probably right with both filters, I noted the fuel filter had seen better days when I removed after my senior moment with the unleaded the other week and the air filter just got a 'blow job' ::) ::) with an airline the lst time it saw day light. :y :y
I'll try to do them both before next year's MOT ;D ;D

Yeh, Italian tune up / rag the *()&^ off it just before the MOT works wonders!

No matter how you treat it though, I bet it won't give up.

It's perfect for what I want, cheap car (£400 off eBay) to get me to work & back. :y :y :y
