Too much Smoke
Oh dear, after flying through the previous 5...or 6 MOTs, my car failed today. It failed on corroded front brake pipes, which I sort of expected......but also on emissions. The car has a smoking problem just like its owner!
The garage owner, (nice bloke), suggested it just needed a service. I've decided to let them do the work, I don't fancy struggling under the car in this heat when they can clean up the pipes for £40 and I thought I'd let them do the service at the same time. I'm wondering if I should disconnect the Synergy 2 next time around? Also, is there a setting on the Synergy that would be best for the emissions test? The car has done about 88K miles now IIRC and it appears to be on the original MAF unit. Do they last this long and could this be an issue? TIA, Drew.

From what he was saying, I think the MOT bloke has already tried that...or something similar

Hi Drew.
Try changing the Air, PCV, filters maybe clean out the EGR give it a good service and once they are done drive it like you stole it for a few miles also as Brian Disconnect the synergy.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3008730547...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Air filter only http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3507267293...300%26_rdc%3D1 And if you want to oil and fuel filter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2216476097...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

On the way back from Gretna yesterday I floored our car coming onto the M6 and it was like Chernobyl behind us
 Really thick black smoke, so she will be getting serviced next week and hopefully that will cure it
