If you follow Bob Monkhouses posts you will find he mixed his fuel and got emissions down and an easy pass a while back without messing about with the PFC,

Hope this helps you and others

All you can do is find a friend who will pass it, nudge nudge wink wink, or take it to a tuner to lean out then have it tested, then richen it back up again.

you can do it if you have a Commander matey.

Go to Settings > PIM voltage and turn the percentage @ 500 - 1000rpm to 66% or so.

Job done

when i do my pims for mot i do them outside the mot station, also you only have to set the lower rpm bands 1000rpm -2000rpm as they dont test it faster than that. that way if you do have to drive it its not weak fuelling under boost. jon.

i just had a look at my pims and there is normal and options 1-4 but they all have 100% on all rpm\'s so i change rpm 1000, 2000 but what % do you use

i have a pretty leaniant tester as we do a lot of buisness with the garage and can have a play whilst testing but its usually down to about 60% to make a real diiference. it probably depends on how far out you are to start with. jon.

just keep turning it down until you drop below 3.5% CO and 1500ppm HC easy
