WWOOOOO HOOOOOO.....................

I'm a HAPPY CHAPPY.

took the car for its MOT on Saturday, the first one since it ran out in September of 2004, and it failed on Exhaust Emissions. Max allowed was 4.5%, mine was running at 9.69% so a ittle rich !!

Anyways, gave them a tweak yesterday (thanks Chris aka MK1Turbo for the lend of the analyser) took it back this morning and it passed with 2.49% and 91ppm HC's.

Nothing else was wrong. Cars only done 259 miles since 2004, so was really surprised brakes etc were all ok. Literally drove it 100 yards in January 2006 when we moved house and its been in the garage ever since, and before that was in the garage of our old house not being used.

testimony I believe to the build quality of the original and BEST hot hatch,
