Thanks Nick, ill give you shout when im ready to get them  done.
 
For now thouugh, more problems :-(
 
Failed another MOT today on emisions again. We did a full oil change and stuck some nice fuel in. It ran so much smoother so thought i was on to a winner but aparently the Co2 reading is still up around the 11mark and the limit is 4.
 
Next step is to change the plugs and lambus sensor but im still not convinced this is guna help.
 
Anyone got any thought?

I would Look to see if you have Cat fitted 1st , i bet for sure its been removed in japan and decat fitted , have a look under the car 1st and may have to speak with peter as iam sure he has one
 
Your dead right , i think if you try and get the emission down to level to pass the mot you will find the car does not run like it should , we have had problems in the past with skylines and imprezza , need to have a word around find a mate of a mate who does mots
 
shame your not closer

mine FC passed with NO cats and it was fine

might be worth giving it a real blast to clean the engine out before its next visit to Mr MOT man

Echo that. Mine was the same.

Echo that. Mine was the same.

good point get it nice and warm and get them to test is retest it straight away , fingers crossed it should be fine , also got to remember that your car would have been set up in japan for very high octane fuel , so most cars from japan fail our emmisions , UK FC should be no problem

put some injector cleaner in and give it a good blast up motorway, should clean out some of the soot build up and run a bit better. Done it and seen reductions.

all great advice. problem is the car can not be registered without an mot certificate. It cant be insured untill its registered so i really cant take it out on the roads legally to give it a good blast.
 
Guna change the lambus sensor and plugs 2moro and try again. If it fails again who knows what im guna do. Might have to tow it to the POD and give it a few runs on the quarter, that should clear out the crap ;-)

Your aloud to dive a car to an MOT testing station even if it has no tax arn\'t you? (Think it has to be booked in for the MOT first) Just make sure there is a bit of dual carriage way between you and the test station. There is another thread on here somewhere about this issue. Have look on the DVLA web site to clarify.

put in 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline. That should sort it out. dont put in too much of this mixture in, just enough to get you to the mot and then to the petrol station to top up with normal gasoline (or high ron etc)
 
search the forums for more information

well after all the problems and suspected problems with the car it turns out all it needed was some new plugs and oil and a new lambus sensor.
 
She passed the MOT with flying colours and is ready for the roads. Now just gotta get her registered and i should be driving her by monday tuesday next week :driving

Will post a load of pics when i get her back on the drive.
