In an attempt to bring down my emissions for the MOT, i filled the tank with petrol & redex, and it still failed.

Bought some of this on ebay:

and this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170169943556&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=007

It just needs to make a small ammount of difference, as its close to hitting the emissions now.

Can you use too much of them, and fuck it altogether?

tbh, if you live in the sticks so much, why is he worrying about emissions. Cars to trees is much less there than in cities

when the guy tested it he only must have run it through a first test,

there are 3 catalyst stabalisation tests that can be done aswell..

mine has to be reved at 3.5k for 15-20 minuits to heat up my sport cat enough to pass an emisions test.
