Title: emissions for 4x4 ?
Post by: Arightpest on March 21, 2006, 21:56:11: Is it correct that under the new MOT law that four wheel drive cars cannot be checked for emissions? because most MOT stations havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t got a rolling road now that they are tested differently with the car running with the wheels turning to get a more accurate reading ( I have been told this by some one who works at a garage but not sure if he is right) does any body have more info. :?
