Failed on emissions, only just but still a fail, the indy we use wanted to run some injector cleaner through it, no doubt half filling the filter with the stuff to give a good strong mix, which necessitated a new fuel filter which i authorised.
Anyway she passed easily after that., with the usual comments of heavily coated underneath with waxoyl, its not waxoyl but who cares.
Lots of short journeys recently and we've been taking it really easy in order to conserve fuel, not so much the cost though it's scandalous but being sure we have some.
Couple of thoughts, she's done 114k now, i checked the injector readings last year which were actually pretty good, but probably could do with the EGR valve cleaning out so that's a job for this summer.
But, what i'll do in future is change the fuel filter the day before the MOT test and stick half the Diesel cleaner straight in the filter and the rest in a low tank, hopefully that'll sort it.
On the subject, didn't our Cruisers of 2005 manufacture used to have a limit of 3.0, but i note the limit is now 1.20, when and why did that change or have i got me knickers on back to front or is my mot station applying the wrong limit?
Thoughts?
