[quote="lee16v"]John, Best feeling in the world! Yup, the steering boot is fine. Had a look at it the other day and nothing bad to report which is a relief. Good luck with your MOT. Al, that's interesting. They obviously used the wrong test then but luckily it passed. Had they used that test on last years results it would have failed...Just. So a tip for everyone here is check the correct test is used on your car. It may have passed even though you're left with a fail ticket![/quote]

Nice one John. Your CO is well low which is obviously a good thing. Who says older cars pollute then eh?

My green beast has just sailed through another MOT today- thank goodness. Was dreading lying on the cold damp crazy paving working on the car covered in that nice cold condensation.
New MOT man couldn't open the bonnet and was 'f-ing' and 'c-ing' like a goodun before finally admitting defeat and coming to ask me- I thought 'that's scuppered my chances of passing!'.
Advise on rear wheel bearings play- as usual (they are fine, and if anything too tight for my liking
).
CO 0.01 fast idle and 0.05 idle (up on last years 0.01
) HC 14ppm

Hey lee,
I wondered the same thing, have a look at my last post in this thread
http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=28769&highlight=&sid=09f050effd50860f17244eabe29f2d9e#28769
how can they justify tightening up on emissions on an older car to be better than when it was new??

Post subject: How happy am I?
The silver beast has just flown through another MOT!!
All that worrying for nothing
One question arises from todays exploits though.......have they tightened up on the emissions test?
Only reason I ask is comparing last years test to todays I see the CO (max) on fast idle has gone down from 0.3% to 0.2% and on idle it's down from 0.5% to 0.3%.
Is this right?
