None of these should ba a problem for anyone here if the car is running OK in the first place.....Unless thet have one of those LS thingys.
The last two years have been a royal pain in the ar5e.

Year 1 - Spent two hours (+ a couple of calls to Dave) trying to convince the tester that my car did not need cats on the exhaust. In the end, the guy 'doctored' the computer and stated that it was all madness and cars that looked as good as this should be allowed on UK roads.

Year 2 - Tried 5 places before finding someone willing to test it. All worried about the computer accepting it. Another conversation re cats but only 15 mins this time. Another 20 minutes discussing noise before the guy kindly boted my fog lamp back on in order to pass it.

Its a good job I love it, otherwise I might not bother.
