MOT surprise!

[Pid_16V]

I knew, but i'd forgot. OFS! .
Yep, i realised the mot is due some time in March, so i checked and to my shear and utter delight, it's due on 8th March . This makes my ideal prep time the shortest ever, i like to get in as soon as possible just incase. I don't really see any issues but i will check around tomorrow as i've got doppleganger booked in for Tuesday morning.

Good luck Al,hopefully it will sail through

 

[Quicksilver]

Good luck Al, although I'm sure you won't need it.

 

[cougarfanboy]

Good luck mate.

 

[poose]

Fingers crossed for you Alan, mines due soon and I always dread them.

 

[Lucid]

Walk in the park...

After the rebuild she's had and the souped up lump under the bonnet I'd be amazed if they found any reason to fail it Al. That's unless they find all the missing nuts and bolts the hungover UKC bods forgot to put in

 

[ginja]

I would think if anyone's gonna know whats wrong with their car prior to an MOT it would be you Alan as you practically rebuilt the car from scratch

 

[frosty2.0]

After all that hard work re-building DG i think you have a decent chance of sailing through,

I already did that mate, although there are still quite a few spares in the cave. I just hope S97 is holding up ok .
I do have an issue. Since Doppleganger is a 2001 C2 and in standard trim has two lambda's. Now she only has one, will this cause a failed reading on emissions or since the second lambda is none existant will it simply pass due to that reason?

just use that private road near your house and go for an enthusiastic drive.

Job done.

Go for a brew

You running the C1 ECU that had the new map loaded Al or the one that came with the car?

It's the C1 remap John. Had to swap them over to suit the engines swaps. S97 has the C2 ECU and lockset.

 

[scunnycougar]

Too much c2ness on s97 going on for my liking.

That should be fine then shouldn't it as the C1 ECU is probably not aware of the second lambda anyway?

 

[Pid_16V]

I'm guessing thats the case, but i'm wondering if the emissions are set on year of the car rather than the actual mechanics of it.

 

[backseateducation]

I haven't a clue on the mechanical side, but good luck anyway though I'm sure it won't be necessary

 

[Mako]

I believe it's the date it was first registered, as per the V5c, Al.

Even so I think you're going to be fine.

 

[Pid_16V]

Here's hoping. I suppose there's only one way to find out, on Tuesday but if it does fail on the none existant one, i'll have to get a hole and nut into the pipe and fit the lambda. The connections are still in place, just tucked up out of the way and the lambda is in a box.

 

[jamie_duff]

They'll never know Al. It'll be fine
