coldel Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Took Big Z in for a good going over, couple of things came close but overall car in great condition. Oil, running low, despite a full oil change about 2 1/2 months ago. Emissions, Berks, Milltek et al, it took a good 5 mins of throttle management to get it under the limit Otherwise a good run through, happy motoring for another year - although the flyeyes kit is now off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Oil usage is a bit of a worry, mine used nothing from 90k service to 99k service in 10 months..... Did the flyeyes fail? Thought they were supposed to be legal A few minutes of running is usual to get the emissions test sorted I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I took the flyeyes off myself, i read in the new regulations that 'anything' reducing the amount of light coming from the headlights is a fail. I could have probably got it through with them on but good excuse to fit some aftermarket lights now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Mine went in Friday. Just advisory on rear tyres. Happy TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just stretch a pair of tights over the headlights and rip a hole in them whenever you need to go for an MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Mine goes in next week. Should fly through as it is only a 57 plate, but I have a feeling the tyres are getting close... Oh and the biting point on the clutch is getting high, so I have a feeling a clutch change may be due, but that shouldn't affect an MOT.
