Just got my 99 Cordoba SX 2.0l 16 valve from the MOT re-test and i have a nice piece of green paper in my hand. All it needed was top mounts, Front number plate due to peeling and tyres. Due to time/work imbalance I got the garage to do the top mounts and they did it for a very good price but...

Just had the cars first MOT today and it initially failed, luckily I had the original bulbs to put back and the car was passed. Reason for failure : the "white leds are deemed blue" by the transport tester - so before you take your pride and joy for its MOT remember to fit the old candles...

.....and it went straight through :funk: Okay, there's probably a dozen or more mk2s on here get MOT'd every day and nobody mentions it, but I was genuinely quite surprised it went straight through considering it's a daily driver that has to rattle over about a dozen speed humps a day on...

My cordoba failed miserably on emissions amongst other small things. The MOT tester said the cat back system and a pipercross filter caused it to fail. They cant make that much differance can they.
