hiya all firstly can i say what a great site,glad i came across it,
right i swapped my ford focus 2.00 ghia for my cougar 2.5 v6 24v in silver straight swap with a local garage,i said ide do the deal if he stuck a years mot on it as it only had a few months left and got 6 months tax aswell,to be honest im paranoid lol as not many garages do straight swaps he seemed an ok geezer n showed me book price for mine and also cougar book price and they r both same,he said he did swap as he had 2 cougars in the garage and he could sell the focus quicker,
my question is i got the mot but there was no emisions certificate with the mot doc i thought you got these aswell or do you not get them sometimes?,
when i look at rear of cat it doesnt smoke ect but you can smell fuel/exhaust fumes for a bit whilst its running,then again maybe its me being paranoid lol as i have it in me head now it failed them and he wanted the deal so just banged me an mot out,
the car is in very good nic n checked everything and all seems ok checked the oil cap for gunk and milky sluge ect and there is none its all clean n tidy and seems as it should be,there is some service history aswell ans looks like its been looked after with reciepts ect for the work done in the past and there has been no money spared by looking at the reciepts,
would you say im being paranoid or can you sometimes smell the fumes ect at the rear?
and is there a free check i can take to garage or do they charge alot for this?
im thick when it comes to mechanics lol,
any help appreciated and thanks in advance jamie
