Failing on emissions currently. Been in garage for a month now as parts coming from Japan.

Its only done just over 63,000 miles but its running a bit rich to get through the mot, I think he needs to put some injector cleaner in it and take it for a blast down the motorway, oh and there is plenty of rust underneath, an oil leak & the rear bumper mountings are looking a bit dodgy,
This internet thing is amazing isnt it :-)
Only joking mate it looks a nice car, low millage as well, must be worth a few quid as they are getting hard to find now in that condition, enjoy it :-)Waiting on a new lambda sensor. If that doesn’t fix it will try some cat cleaner, then injectors.
Oil leak on diff and gearbox has been fixed. Underneath is super clean, rear bumper mounting could do with being replaced when I can locate one (or will need to get fabricated) but it’s not bad by any stretch of the imagination, last MOT place were just being fussy ;)

Yeah. Well they mostly stick to scooters.Cheers mate. Owner before me was a near 80 year old who had it almost from new so no mods etc.
You can drive over the line. It just beeps a bit.I've got a BMW.
It's got Lane assist so you can't drive over a white line without indicating.
Nothing stops me tailgating though.
Maybe they're ripping you off.My car is 19 years old It’s a VW Golf Plus. 1.4 basic model. It failed its MOT and cost be £540 to sort out. It’s still worth doing as it’s only done 74000 miles and I’ve become attached to it. I’ve had it for 16 years.
Here’s why I’m posting this… The garage said next year the advisories will become necessities and some of the work is difficult. They reckon it will cost me over a grand next year. I need to weigh it up whether it will be worth doing the work. An equivalent newer car (dunno say Corsa, Mini, newer Golf etc) with the same 74000 as mine will set me back anything between 5-8k. So I keep my old but lovely car for about £1200 or buy a newer one with same mileage for £5-8k
Anyone ever faced with a similar dilemma and made the wrong decision?
Ps. I wouldn’t mind owning a van! :-)
My wife drives a Honda…..you’re rightI'm doing a 1,500 mile round trip in the USA and it's Honda drivers.
