"KIMI" - The RPM 1st Gen S2 (with bits of S3...)

[mpk490p]

that\'s looking great Malc.... good luck for tomorrow and don\'t forget, 1st gens first used before 1st August 1987 don\'t need to be tested for emissions, it\'s a visual check for smoke only...

Thanks for that mine always struggles to get through always take it to the same garage who are helpful but i guess that won\'t matter now!

:Thumbs-up Many thanks for that piece of information, Ian.

I\'d heard that emissions was "visual check only", but couldn\'t find any reference to it anywhere. I\'ve printed out the item above will take it with me, in case there is an issue.

Best of luck Malc, Kimi\'s looking oh so good.....:Thumbs-up

My trick is to always use the same tester like Mark, but also I\'ve memorised the VIN.

So when the tester is leaning over the bulkhead making a note, just stand behind him and recite it......it usually floors him!

Then he thinks....wow this guy does care.

You\'ve got a couple of hours.....common....repeat after me.....\'JMZFB13120070XXXX\'.

Any trouble with emissions Malc, tell the tester that we have contact numbers for DVLA (they have helped me in the past - my car is AFTER the first use exemptions for emissions but STILL qualifies due to it\'s earlier build date).

Passed with no advisories; tester really impressed with condition of the car and underside. I stayed with him throughout the test and he was really chatty, and into older cars. We talked about old Ford Anglias and such!

His only verbal comment was that the bushes looked a little cracked, but there was no play to be felt, so he was happy, as are we! I was concerned about the brakes (mainly because they hadn\'t been used for so long), but he said they were fine.

Glad I took along Ian\'s "get me out of emissions free" card, as they had only vaguely heard of the "let off" clause. He was happy once he\'s double-checked with a colleague.

Best part, went to settle up and was presented with a bill for £18.95! They had a special offer on MOT\'s that I wasn\'t aware of - I hope my luck is changing:)

The bad news is I have\'t got my insurance docs yet (I was "on cover" from 1pm today) so I need to chase that to get the car tax and maybe "RS8 is GO!"

nice, always good when a old lady passes first time

Gre.....at Stuff.....Very Pleased.

My tester says he doesn\'t worry overmuch about Jap bushes. He says they do crack but dont give play in the joints.

Once again....great.

knew you\'d pass. your MOT in england seems handier than ours, being able to go to a garage etc. better being safe and everything in good order so you\'re safe. plenty of rx7\'s only one of you

but great news, insurance will be sorted easily then get out and enjoy her
