Nibble is in work today, RNM having been retired till next Tuesday for new front brake pads and an MoT - will it pass or fail? Saturday will partly be spent on a run round and basic check of everything from lights to suspension, exhaust and tyres (which are all OK)
Tonight, having dragged the aftermarket floor mat out of the car, I am going to trim it on the driver's side as it goes under the accelerator pedal and stops its travel for the last quarter of an inch or so. If I pull it back, then the other side catches on the clutch pedal as I change gear - which is marginally less annoying than the power loss caused by the mat under the pedal.
Scissors are the answer and Nibble is a tad faster today. I like free fixes.

fail or pass, it's too late to worry about it - RNM has been dropped off at the garage. Will find out tomorrow. This time I am testing out the local lot in Ruardean.

Re: 2.1TD Manual S2 M932 RNM & N477 YBL
a fail!
but the brake pads they fitted sorted that out!
Emissions way down on last year - 0.36 with a pass limit of 3.0!
Advisory on leak on hydraulics - but I knew about that and last time couldn't find it despite a steam clean underneath.
£149 inc MoT, pads front and back plus the dreaded VAT.
Then another £140 taxing it and the scooter.

Are you sure the emissions reading is against the 3.0 limit, not 1.5?

Re: 2.1TD Manual S2 M932 RNM & N477 YBL
Yep you're right. The limit is 3.0 and the test pass is 1.5. 0.36 is not bad and I blame the better combustion and cleaner burn of veg. They only did the one run.
