MOT emissions
Options
Last year my car (Turbo diesel focus) just scraped through the MOT because of high emissions. This is because of low mileage since packing in work.
On the advice of the mechanic I gave the car "a good thrash up the motorway" before the MOT yesterday.
No problem with emissions this time!
Everything else was OK as well

Just run mines on bio diesel or veg oil as required. Never any problems with the smoke test.
Just curious, what were the figures it put out?0 -
I MOT'd the Jeep yesterday and the last two years we have struggled. Added some Redex and thrashed it for a week also seems to have done the trick. Lucas upper cylinder and injector cleaner also does the trick.0
