Guest mk47 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 hey not sure of anywhere that can help out - but maybe someone could lend you some cats for the mot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Cheers Shaun, its just i've heard that if you fail a test these days, you cannot go back for a retest for free, or something like that! is that true? So would rather get this right first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun. Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 You have to leave your car in the same garage, if it leaves it's a retest fee, but not all places are so anal. Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 leave your car in the garage while you get whatever is required for it to pass!!! Are they having a laugh!! So unless i get a cat put back in the centre first, it really is pot luck if it will pass or not, and if it fails i cant then drive the car away to get one fitted. Someone must know somewhere? Or can anyone lend me a cat? Happy to help you out in someway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 you never know, it may pass without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 yeah its possible Locky. Is there any way of helping Supra's to pass? For example when i had a fully decated Scooby, it failed the test miserably. But i had been pre told to take the car for a very fast drive and get the exhaust very hot. So i took the car off the tester for 5 mins or so and went for a spin, when i came back it had completely 0 emmisions! The guy could not believe it!

Simon Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Based on my experience this last week on the new computerised system. No cats = failure (part of emission system is missing) They type in the model type JZA80 type in the engine code 2JZ-GTE And guess what pops out, UK spec details. Car requires a cat. So you will need a cat unless you can find a centre still using the paper based system. And as I said, this is based on what happended to me last week (getting cat fitted this week) so it is not a legal statement or that of the law, just my understanding of why it failed. Plus it failed on CO as well but even if that had been in spec it would have been failed for no cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 i tested mine with only the 1st cat, and it passed emissions, i got the 2nd one removed - now going back to get a 1st cat replacement pipe! so you might get away by putting the 1st cat in. is it cheaper than cat no 2?
