Ohhh! Two topics I one day  The MOT procedure here in Sweden, and the rest of the EU as I understand it, is not very kind to diesel engines  The dreaded opacity test!!! They rev the engine with full throttle to test the exhaust gases. Is there not a way to turn down any rev limiter prior to the MOT? Or perhaps fit a rev-counter with a red marking at say, 4200 rpm  All the BEST! /Magnus |

I had a Montego diesel 15 years ago, with the Perkins Prima TD engine, i could adjust the pump right down for the MOT, it never failed....

Do you remember the time when we were told that we all had to have diesels because petrol emissions were killing children and polar bears. Now,we all have to buy petrol cars because diesel fuels are (depending on who you listed to) much worse. Cows farting are also causing something or other to greenhouses.. It makes you wonder what they'll find to blame next. |

By now the "ozone hole" (remember that?) must be world wide.....is it heck Global climate summits take place on Bali and 100's of delegates take private jets to get there Meanwhile, we wait for the day the oil runs out and governments fall, cos they will with no tax revenue from us |

The green lobby run around in their recycled rubber shoes (or cycle on their Chines made bikes) all full of smug thoughts that their silly and costly efforts are saving the planet. Meanwhile,back in the real world the factories of China and India pollute on a truly massive scale and we import the crap they make. |
