whisperuk Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Got my car booked with Cotswold Scooby for a service AND MOT. Going to be a scary day Monday. After I mentioned my emmisions they gave me the option of MOT with the blitz onboard or put on old system and then do it. Thought I'd risk the blitz option as he said would cos about 2hrs for the technician to put the front cat on. Being mine is an oldie, surely the emmisions would be close to the ones emitted from the cars before that didnt have cats equipped by law. They also suggested doing a cambelt change, so i gave them a suggestion of my own....... Andy

Mines in for an MOT next weekend as well, ****ting it as I've never had a car pass first time! When's your cambelt due? I know they're seriously pricey to have changed but it's a damn sight cheaper than a new engine! That was my justification anyway... as it was Iain did mine so it was all in under £200 incl tensioner (it being cheaper and easier as it's SOHC)

Well cambelt was changed at 90k, the car hasnt done another 90k or anywhere near it. reason I am getting the 90k done was because the previous service history from about 96k is a bit hit and miss so getting a big service to make sure everything is done uptodate. Cambelt was suggested as it was the 90k service. I hope so, cant stand the thought of my poor car going back to silent mode even for a few hours Andy
