I've got my MOT on saturday, but i think it's going to fail on emissions.

Its a 1.4 8v Sri, 1994, with 4branch manifold and decat.

What can i do to reduce the emissions and make it pass? Without taking the exhaust system off?

i've bought 2 bottles of Wynn's engine treatment, to see if thats any difference.

And for motorway, the nearest is about 50miles away , will give it a blast on the way to the garage.

I have 2 weeks untill the Rally, so cant really fail

I say use the wynns engine treatment then once at operation temp give it some welly, specially just before MOT (on the day) and should be better off at least anyway.

Redex and a Higher RON fuel should lower the emissions.

Get it nice and hot too before it goes in.

That or find a friendly MOT tester
