    Hi Guys :)

    Wondered if any of you can offer me any advice. Put my little Peugeot 106 in for MOT and it failed. Main problem is the emissions. Garage put in an additive for a couple of days and changed the air filter but no good. They are now suggesting changing the oxygen sensor which will cost £150 parts and labour but with no guarantee that it will work. It's only an old banger and I feel that its not worth the risk of losing £150 and still having to get another car anyway. TIA :)

    Find a friendlier garage?

    Run it down the motorway for 10 miles just before the emissions test?

    Extremely environmentally unfriendly to force a car to the scrapheap IMHO

    Got a phone call from Viking who confirmed that the Nectar points would not be going on (even though I got an email saying they would) and that it was up to me if I wished to keep them or get a refund. Opted for a refund and they have now de-activated the gift cards and I will get a full refund in 3 days.

    Hope everyone is keeping OK. The weather was awful today. Absolutely freezing!

    I did wonder if the emissions test would be the same in all garages?? Are you serious about the motorway - if so can you explain please :)

    I don't want to scrap the car and would pay the £150 if it was guaranteed to pass the MOT.

    Oil & oil filter change combined with running it hard down the motorway for 10 miles should be enough (unless you did that already - when was the last oil & oil filter change?)
