Sad to hear that. Most of the stuff on the list are things that wear out sooner or later.

Not to rub it in but my MY05 D3 V8 passed inspection here on Saturday without any notices. Thumbs Up

Try some injector cleaner and a good hard run, get it good and hot then take it back for the emmissions test.

Do you have diagnostics if you do look at your injector balance, you may have only one or two bad injectors

Isn't adblue supposed to reduce emissions? could you put some in before the MoT? I am not sure how it works, but see it is now sold at most petrol stations.

Adblue gets injected into the exhaust and combines with the exhaust gases to make less polluting chemicals, you cant just add it to the fuel tank.

West 4x4 did the belt and bearing, great service!
I’ve been living on borrowed time with the emissions with injection cleaner/good run down the Motorway sorting it in the past years. But this was all six showing faults
Plus point is I’m going to be keeping it now.
Censored ! The passenger lower door trim just fell off!
