My '89 760 Turbo had its MOT on thursday and unfortunately needed some money spent.
2x Front Tyres
Wiper blades
4x new calipers (calipers kept seizing)
and front steering rods.
Now i didn't expect a miracle, and am happy to have the work done - its another phase closer to perfection!!!
What i was surprised about (and so was my specialist) was the results of the emmissions test.
Here they are:
CO % vol -
Max limit: 3.500
Actual value: 0.259
HC ppm vol -
Max limit: 1200
Actual value: 55
Now rememeber this car doesn't have a CAT!!!
I think the reason behind the ultra low reading are due to me using a product called 'Greased Lighting' - which can be bought on the Ideal Home shopping channel.
1 additive for your oil and one for the fuel.
It has increased my MPG and made the car smoother and faster!
The only other thing i do is change the oil every 3k miles and run it on a min of 98 RON, normally Optimax!
What were your results at your last MOT???
I would be interested to know!
