JohnK Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 What part of the emmisions test? Its always a good idea to make sure the car is very hot before taking it in for an MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Remove and clean the lambda sensor or renew it. Lemon juice is ment to be good for cleaning them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
