    Yeah, it passed Smile with 5 Advisories:

    1 - Windscreen has damage to an area less than 40mm circle outside Zone A

    2 - Power steering component has slight seepage.

    3 - Offside brake juddering Slightly

    4 - N/S/F (rear bush) Suspension arm has slight play in a Pin/Bush

    5 - Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair.

    number 5 is as a result of number 3. The tester reckons that the disc overheated at one stage when new therefore warping the disc.

    You say that, but I reckon that the suspension arm play in the pin/bush will take longer than 5 minutes to sort. Yes

    You say that, i had a right nightmare of a time getting my old 1.8 through a emissions test. Did the cambelt on it and who ever timed it up before i had it clearly worked by the "that will do" Method. Timed it up properly (was a fair way out) and it passed very very well!

    Isn't it just the P bush thats the issue? N/S/F tells me its the front end of the vehicle thats the issue, rear bush being the P bush. Still not a 2 minute job though. Laugh
