Dreaded MOT

[myky16]

Failed mot the otherday and was looking 4 help;

1.)the emissions were through the roof and i am going to put the cat back on, but is there any way of gettin lower emissions for the test?

2.)also i was told the os brake was binding and the pull to ns was in excess of 25%, can some1 pls translate that for me, and tell me if they know what it is?

Thanx

the cat will sort that no porbs as long as it is ok!

Replace that specific caliper- there about 70-80 quid

If you have a dead lambda then you could run again into trouble.

emmisions could be reduced by a few things, such as have you got an induction kit, have you had a service recently - this will also reduce them, obviously though the cat is the thing to put back on

does anyone know of someone who HAS passed an MOT with a De-cat on??

Mine passed with a de-cat on. You say the emissions were through the roof, do you know the specific figures. If they are very high I doubt putting the cat back on will reduce it enough as it could be a number of things. Knacker oxygen sensor like someone said being one possibility.

Also, with the brakes, if it is the caliper that is knackered itd be a better idea to replace both calipers.

if ur car passes its MOT witout a CAT then is it perfectly legal not to have one?
