If you live near to Blackpool take it to Motorsports Developments for - "Engine Tune up and check over for Turbocharged cars: Includes Fuelling on load. Ł94.00 "

Took my 3dr there when it was running rich,

well ya really need to get a tunner to do it for ya tbh, its not hard though but needs to be done proper

i could tell ya where ya adjust it from but ya need a proper emmisons tester to do it ( hint 100 quid gunsons joby from halfords aint the same as a 6 grand emmisions tester the garagaes use )

if ya can get a proper emisions tester and ya feeling brave pm me

i take no respoceabilty of the end result though and then i recomend ya get a proper tuner to set the emmisons up after though

He answered you earlier fella.. Glasgow

Emmissions:
We need to know exactly what the emissions are now to proceed any further.

Example:
If they are 0.7% now, you simply need to pop the cat back on, job done.
If they are 5% now, you have a problem that needs fixing.

Is it on an Escos P8 still as it should be?

Stu - what about big power Escos. Surely they don't have cats do they? If so - how do they pass emissions?

In Poland theoretically they can fuck me for not having cat even if emmsisions are OK, but practice is corrupting the people. My car never ever been to the station itself. I suppose it's not possible in more normal countries?
