It has NO problems with the yearly test, tester even commented how LOW the emissions were . Dont give a Toss about the Enviroment, Yanks and China are the big polluters .

While our pollution levels are lower than those of China and the US, we cannot expect wider change if we don’t take part ourselves - and that’s before we consider that the worlds wealthy nations have benefitted most from polluting and have a responsibility to support poorer nations in the necessary change |

Right, back onto the topic, just about to pop out and have a look over our S80. I can't imagine it's made it 200k without ever being cleaned but you never know what you'll find... Pics to follow if horrendous!
Edit-: Aaand 40 minutes later, bad light and low blood sugar stop play but it's back together and the mixer pipe and rubber hose are now clean. Not as bad as expected, still pretty bad though around 3-4mm of gunk all round so 6-8mm of the overall diameter. Considering it's a 200k ex taxi though not bad & the EGR still very much in play. I'll have to see if anything is smoother although it was pretty good anyway, but I think the biggest gains for me will be in the plenum/cam cover when I get time to clean it all properly. Oh and the gunk, not good on toast at all. NOTHING like Marmite whatsoever

Anyone genuinely worried about diesel NOx emissions shouldn’t be driving diesels full stop. Far more effective than being self-righteous on car forums aiming needless/pointless digs at people blanking off their EGRs. It’s actually quite difficult not to break the law in some shape or forms these days. Diesel and Petrol cars are dirty full stop. Always have been. Always will be. No amount of tech is going to fully eliminate that problem.
Probably best off on a rambling forum.
