Just wondered what everyone's view is on MOT washes.... Would I be able to get under the car/wheels done myself with a normal or power hose without jacking it up? I have heard some places do 'MOT washes' which include hosing your engine... this does not sound like a good idea to me...

Basically my query is... Is there actually any product I can buy, or anything I can generally do that will reduce the emissions of my car??? (temporarily at least) The reason for this is that about a year ago I had trouble passing the emissions test for the MOT, and just scraped through...

Howdy Took my 1.8t Cupra in for its MOT yesterday and as you might have guessed by the title it failed. The only reason for this is some cheap crappy bracket towards the back of the exhaust has fallen off. My mechanic and mot tester is a close friend of mine and showed me where the bracket...

Im new here so here we go , took my 1996 ibiza 1.4 for an mot the other day and it failed on the emissions. I changed the spark plugs and HT leads, as the car had a slight misfire anyway, it runs loads better now and feels better to drive, but took it back for the retest and its failed again...

MOT time today. She passed, and the grinding noise i had on the near side front wasn't my brakes as first thought, it was the wheel bearing. My baby was given a full service, MOT and the wheel bearing replaced for £235 total, i was pretty dam inpressed. And glad that it wasn't my brakes or...

Hi all, Got to get an MOT done. However, will it fail if the ABS, Traction contol and Engine managment lights are on? Probably will and probably a stupid question, but you got to ask. Cheers

Evening chaps, I know a quick call to the MOT place tomorrow will give me my answer but thought i'd get some feedback off here to... I want to have my side repeaters patched up but have been told if i do my car will not pass its MOT. Ive seen a pic on ibizamk2.co.uk with it done and ive...

Right, just had a call from the garage doing the MOT today - first point is it's not going to get through with the HID's, so looks like they'll have to be swapped for standard's to get through. More worryingly, it's also failed the emissions test - he asked if it had been chipped and said...

People, After a years ownership my FR+ was due for its first MOT so in she went and came out the other side without a mark on her, straight through no advisories, nothing, "perfect" in the words of the tester. Now the emmisions part. now I'm not a complete expert at this (as you'll see)...
