ive always heard police are quite forgiving if they see your on your way to a mot as long as you could go ring this number and they will confirm of follow me there and you will see!

get the cat nice and hot, clean the air filter, blow all the crap outa the pipes (car hadnt been run in about 3 months) put some cat cleaner through the system aswell, it easily passed all all aspects apart from the lambda readings but thats all fine now aswell! thanks for all the advice people :) and hopefully see you all at L2B this weekend!
