Had a call from the testing station to say that it has passed the emmissions test. phew...

If its still running abit lumpy, it can be looked at when it goes for an A service, which is due soon. But with Linda being made redundant last week, and me looking at sort time, it might just have to go up for sale or wait a while.

thanks again for everyones input.

No, No! not Bloke. It's pronounced Black, as in Plaque

Hi Dan,

Just looking at it from the DIY'ers point of view - clearly in the real world of available time, labour rates, parts rates and time spent on diagnostics often hard to bill, it's often more cost effective for the customer to swap what is most likely to be broken. With "free" time to fanny about with scopes, meters and swapping donor parts between cars you can resolve the fault for much lower parts cost, but of course you're burning your own time :-)

Cheers,
Robin
