Just failed the MOT. Lamda reading was all over the place. Tried really hard to get it under, but no luck :( Said emissions were so clean you could breath it, but still a fail...

Dodgy lamda / MAF / exhaust or manifold leak?
Nov 19 2014 06:59 PM -
Zuber
Yep, one (or more) of them, TBD...
Just seems wrong to have such clean emissions but still fail

What would suit me is if they were so clean I was paying only £20 a year road tax instead of nearly £300

According to Parkers the VX is 114mm wider that a 1985 Merc 500SL..... Does that seem odd?

an 1985SL is very narrow. Graeme Lambert (Senior Road Test Editor, Parkers!)

They are also very nice. And gently appreciating. Thank you for confirming.

Just unexpectedly bought old member Denzle's (RIP) V220 - going to enjoy doing a few jobs on it to get it back to its best.

GiGo it doesn't have exhaust it's got a vse but it was the owner mentioning that exhaust that made me twig. Didn't recognise the plate.

Neil Garner near Malmesbury

As above, no experience of Neil Garner but certainly has a good reputation. If you need an MOT, Neil uses Crudwell Garage in Crudwell, so go to them direct.

Followed by the police at 1.30am this morning. I drove right to the limit 60/70mph accelerating hard but legally, and he followed me all the way home, just going back the way he came as I turned into my estate :)

second that Tim, had 2 parts come both opened and one the correct box but wrong part missing all its peripheral bits which must have been a returns that hasn't been checked and simply re-sent out. the part itself looked used.
