I have just got around to checking my plate and it shows 1.00 - printed in black, rather than stamped/embossed into the metal. The permitted maximum value used, appears to have been 1.5 in my MOT (see above). The tester never checked the plate, yet seems to have assumed 1.5 as the maximum, or seeing my exhaust was so clean he thought the max was of no concern what ever value he chose as the max..

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
