Diesel, I presume?
The change coming next week is that where there's a manufacturer's data plate giving emissions, that's what it needs to meet. No plate, generic figure for the age.
Is there a plate on your car? What age?0 -
It!!!8217;ll fail next year because the back box will be excessively corroded by then0

Your advise has nothing to do with the smoke test, A back box on ebay will be around £30.00 If you want it fitted about £75.00 hardly the end of the world.We may not win by protesting, but if we don’t protest we will lose.
If we stand up to them, there is always a chance we will win.0 -

Absolutely correct. ANY leak anywhere on the exhaust is a fail.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Only a major leak. Minor leaks from joints and drain holes are normal. minor leaks from corrosion that don't affect emissions or noise are still down to the tester.
