Mine is now in for a retest tomorrow morning, there's a first!

Good luck, all should be well

Fingers crossed Mick.

Pete - your T16 looks bang tidy.... That rear diffuser is very special mate.

Thank you

It scored a fail, nothing serious, an incorrectly assembled front arb link, my fault for using the wrong size washers when I fitted poly bushes, and a leaking exhaust, which he didn't have problem with but it was screwing with the emissions, so I've spent an hour or so in the sunshine fixing it so I can drop by tomorrow and he'll recheck the emissions and arb link.
On the plus side it was only 30 quid, and I got to have a Bacon and egg roll in my favourite greasy spoon.

Isn't it annoying when it fails on something you've done and should have seen it. Like you said nothing bad. Funny mine had advisories for seat belts because they couldn't test the passengers as there was no seat to plug it into!

It is, the arb link was so obviously wrong when I looked at it, must have been having a blonde moment. lol

I think the exhaust joint may have been disturbed when I fitted the dual outlet system.

Passed, whoop, but struggled to make the emissions numbers.
