Further to this (mot failure sheet) thread & this (about to scrap) one.

Well i told a girl at the coop about this when looking for an autotrader n she said she would speak to her brother, who is a mechanic, so she did..

He asked for my MOT sheet and said he would do it for £250 including his fee.. The garage spec'ed atleast £300 and anything extra when they start work that they come across.

Well today he took it to work with him and MOT'd it, i think he fogot to do the headlamp alignment and he said it also failed on emissions, i was told that it was about to go anyway was the catalyst but he said it might not need a new one might just need a tweak..

What kind of tweak? How can you sort out a catalyst?
 
Fuel treatments / leather the ass off it. Lambda sensor check, too, I suppose...

Aye ive been told if you run it round the block for like 10 mins then u can get rid of most the crap in the engine that comes out when it first starts up..

Maybe he will do that..

Whats a lambda sensor?
