After a somewhat tortuous emissions re-test, that took 5 goes, lots of Powercommander fettling and far longer than allowed for in my 30 minute appointment, I have now passed.
Many, many thanks to Dave the tester who's stomach was rumbling as I severely delayed his lunch and to Paul TigerB6 for his ongoing help and support (and pushing the car on and off the trailer!)

now chester dvla

I don't care what you say, it can't be as bad as trying to get an Aprilia engine through the emissions test!!

See you down the tap one night then

tony

Nice one!

Daves a good guy but the test comes down to the machines reading and leaves them no/little room to manouvre. All they can do is give you time. All academic now you've passed though!

Well done mate. I delayed his tea yesterday evening too

Well done
