I've had this done before. It wouldn't pass no matter what we did then magically it did pass

The garage has shut now though where I had it done at so no good to you

try asking in your regional section mate. Must be somewhere by you that will sort you out.

£20 on the passenger seat works wonders round here though

Same here mate, the probe 'fell out' of the Corsa's exhaust and into a 1.2 Clio for me

If the OP's talking about a standard car it'd probably just be easier in the long run to get it fixed.

Just go to a local one (i.e. not a chain like Kwik Fit) and ask them to stick another car on the ramps - give them some beer money

Aye you're right, if there's nothing else showing as odd it's probably the first thing I'd go to.
