As you can see I've not got a lot of experience with emissions problems as mine keeps passing! So I'm going to suggest you take the advice of the Pocuk boys and girls as they will know better than me. Sorry mate, not been much help have I? :( Hi Liam

Sorry to hear about your MOT. As you can see I’ve not got a lot of experience with emissions problems as mine keeps passing! So I’m going to suggest you take the advice of the Pocuk boys and girls as they will know better than me.

Sorry mate, not been much help have I? :(

I had mine taken in today for MOT and was informed later in the morning that it has failed MOT due to excessive smooth. That failure reading was average at 3.62 and I was told that it needed to be 3 (about 17% over). The garage suggested putting a diesel additive and gave it a good run in the hope that it will clear the exhaust system of particles which the electronic testing was picking up on. However, was informed about an hour later that it failed again and work need to be undertaken to establish failure and they had quoted around £120 for labour alone!$$£!!!? Guess I'm not as lucky as you are and also it's my first MOT. Got my baby last year.... I've been reading a lot of comments & recommendations on failed MOT due to emission on the POCUK forum but getting a bit confused of what is needed to be done first e.g. do I go with the first & easiers way of attempting to reduce emission by giving my Paj a good run down the motorway before taking it in for the test etc...etc... Appreciate if I can have some advise please.... Rgds Liam Tim,
