Now, not really sure what to do about this other than give the car a good thrash on the way there. Oil & filter are good, air filter is clean, exhaust is ok. Car runs perfect. Thought i would turn down fuel pressure but then thought thats not gonna do anything is it on an injection car? I was thinking if i restrict the amount of air getting through the air filter would that result in ecu chucking in less fuel and thus bringing it down a tad.
Car has quite old petrol in it (with some injector cleaner in it), would that effect the emissions at all?
I just noticed that its down on the test sheet as 1108 not a 1242, would the limits be any different?
Got til Wednesday to sort it - chuck me some opinions.
edit: car has been sat for approx 3 years, i did do about 10 miles thrash on way to MOT.
