From the 1st of March, here in NI a new test was implemented which involves the car to be tested at maximum rev. Bacially, the inspector gets in the car, puts his foot to the board and lets the car rev as hard as it can, lifts foot for a few seconds and then floors it again.
Now, a chap went in the other day to get his car tested at my local test centre and when it came to this part of the test, the inspector asked him, if he agreed to the test and if he didn't, his car would automatically fail the test. So he said yes as he didn't really have a positive choice.
Anyhow, this new test blow the guys engine resulting in the guy having his car fail the test and the car left with a blown engine.
What do you think of this test as I for one wouldn't fancy it done on my car especially a diesel car?
