    182 Failed MOT due to HC

    It turns out the cat was not getting warm enough as I have a sports cat. So a drive of a few miles at 50-60 warmed it up enough and when tested again the car passed.

    MOT Failure: Emissions - possible causes?

    I had the same problem with mine for the mot, turns out the testing station did not get the cat hot enough before the test. So a quick drive round at 50 in 4th solved the problem and she passed. I do have a 200cell sports cat not the standard one.

    Removing rstuner map help

    As far as I remember the RSTuner maps are encrypted and you cannot read them off the car. You might be able to with a different piece of kit, but you can always just put the new map over the top of the existing map

    Performance 65mm throttle body

    The question is are these "performance" throttle body's any good? I have seen numerous offers for them but none of them have any proof to backup their claims. I am not talking about throttle bodies I talking about just swapping the standard one with one of these...

    182 Rear Brake disc removal

    The bearings feel out of one of the discs i changed, might of explained the noise and MOT fail. Important thing to note is the direction the washers come out, as one side is tapered, which goes on facing the inside of the car.

    Where's Wally?

    Well I am battered and sore after trying to get at and tighten the bolts and find that they are all tight. It turns out the the movement in the seat was solved by tightening up the front bolt behind the plastic panel on the side of the seat.

    Where's Wally?

    I have been trying to find the locations of the bolts that hold the front seats in but not for looking I can not find them all. The ones near the out side edge of the car are under the rubber grommets but the inner ones are eluding me. Can anyone give me some markers or pointer to where to look...

    Headlight aim wrong

    Is it possible to put the headlight bulb in the wrong way round? As the car failed the MOT on the Nearside headlight aim too low and the guy at the garage said he could not raise it. Of course I changed the bulbs to Nightbreakers some weeks ago.

    182 Failed MOT due to HC

    The guy at the garage thinks it could be the cat that is the problem, I am not sure if it's an original cat or an aftermarket one. Where the best place to get another cat from?

    182 Failed MOT due to HC

    I recently replaced the Pre Cat Lambda, I must admit it was a bit of a sod to do so there is always the chance that I made a hash of it. Time to get the Garage to check it then. I can feel some expense coming on now.
