The MOT station HAS to by law tune the carb to get it through the emissions. Minis never went through even when new so it will end up all weak and lifeless when you get it back. We have our City having its MOt this weekend then the Hl and Clubby next weekend.

he said emissions were high but wasnt too bothered as its an old car and could see ti would slow it down too much to get them down!
