supra_24 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Got the test book limits of the gov site http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160609/a01a18af8f417857b479d04f42366667.jpg /QUOTE] My Vin number is the above JZA80, but does not end with the above 0000001, it ends with different numbers?

Ric Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 That just means from 000001 (starting at 1) so that would suggest every supra after 000001 (all of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The MOT garage is clearly taking the piss by posting that on FB, I would be fuming. Get on the phone and give him a proper earache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'd have been straight down there the second I saw it posted to be honest, posting here or anywhere else would be secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What was the actual failure % you tested at? you say 1% over, well if it was 4% then it's a fail? before it all kicks off on his page lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Did it fail on emissions? or the fact no cat was fitted? As far as i'm aware, the new(ish) rules say that if the car originally came from the factory with a cat fitted then it has to be present for the MOT. Regardless of whether it passes emotions or not. It does say on facebook that it failed for 'no cat'. Either way i'd be fuming. I'd probably be annoyed if he'd posted pics of my car for a positive reason let alone what he's written. At least without asking first anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The fail on emissions is fair enough. But the comments towards a paying customer. Disgusting, id keep proof for the long run and confront them and let them know you wont be going back. Not even for the retest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Pre 94 registration is a non cat test. NA is a non cat test Turbo'd wether uk or jap is a cat test. I'm 100% certain on that, as it's been discussed on here many times :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Pre 94 registration is a non cat test. NA is a non cat test Turbo'd wether uk or jap is a cat test. I'm 100% certain on that, as it's been discussed on here many times :/ According to what I can see now I know his car is a 93 then it should definitely be a non cat test. I'm confused as to where the turbo or non turbo thing comes into it? Is it because there's no 2jzge engine code listed but there is a 2jzgte listed? Surely though because it was registered in 93 as an NA then that's a non cat test whatever happens?

Scooter Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Your VIN plate has 2JZ-GE on it not 2JZ-GTE so you might be able to argue your case (despite you actually having a 2JZGTE!) Might be better to try another MOT station and be up front and try and get them to agree the non cat test before the test starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_24 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Looks like they've taken the post down now. Looks as though they have. Well I will be speaking to them soon. All relevant info has been backed up, even if it has been removed. Not only have they been unprofessional in this matter, they have undermined myself and my car on a public site. I will let you know the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Why is showing your reg plate such an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Because people can clone cars, probably unlikely on a sup! Also just put the plate on a stolen and then speeding tickets come through your door? Don't know if that is still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just a quick update. I was advised to review Mels Motors and after doing so, I was sent an apology from the company below, where a free MOT and CAT fitting was offered, which is appreciated. I have however advised them that my current mechanic will be sorting the car out for me ready for MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just think, all of this could of been avoided with a phonecall. Glad you sorted it out over facebook like true men however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 An apology, with a side order of a veiled threat about coppers. It's worded in a way to get you worried, not as a friendly tip-off. He could argue to the contrary, so it's absolutely not worth pursuing. Just learn from the experience, and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, because sorting something out over the platform where it was originally posted truly is lacking manliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can piss about via facebook, or just be direct. But where's the fun in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
