Well a massive 438 miles this last year on my NA car, thanks covid.

I had a mad run around the car and swapped washer jets off my spare before the MOT and it passed albeit rear tyres are fooked
Its fair to say it ain't getting much use ..

cracking drive, in the interests of a good emissions result, so different to the SC one and the little e
Still a big fan, 19 years later

That time of the year again.

Passed Yayy!
Another year of motoring in the s2000.
Surprisingly I did 1038 miles in the past 12 months.
Must have been that Cheddar Gorge road trip last May.

The Berk CAT performed admirably and passed the emissions test with flying colours.
Impressed!

I'm just prepping for my MOT. Due to Covid and the unknown I didn't retax the S2K last year and kept it garaged up so a grand total of 0 miles for me. I have missed it terribly but despite the brakes slightly bound on and some surface rust on some engine bay parts (humid in my garage) everything seems ready to go but I will wheel it out, wash it down and check all the MOT testing points (apart from emissions) this weekend; fingers crossed.

Good luck man
I did the same. I fixed the headlight wash pump on mine last year but not sure if they tested it. Still works now but I have a new motor ready to go in.

Washers blocking are a risk point and drop links. I print off a sheet and go round it as I'm trying to avoid failures lately
Those, a rusty brake pipe and tyres have been the things that have come up but yeah, brakes too though it's never failed for it

Good luck ShoooRn

Pretty sure it will sail through
Give it a good drive before the MOT to help clear the system for the emissions test

Pass: No advisories......apart from the MOT Tester loving the Milltek and having to make a note: Advisory: (after market exhaust fitted) had a really good chat with him and he said it was his favourite car in all year

Values are Min / Max / Actual so the measured values are on the right - Berk 63mm Cat fitted and now the Milltek. Always pleased at how clean burning the engine is although that lambda value of 1.001 is bugging me - must try harder to get the 1.000 next time

Took mine in this morning, ‘Do not drive until repaired’* notice! Front drop link broken, was fine in Friday when I checked around the car, currently waiting for a replacement to be delivered to the house for fitment and then back for a retest. Of course wife reckons it’s my fault.

*Ignored notice and brought it home, not paying to have repairs done I can do myself.
Fast idle.......
CO 0.07
HC. 43
lam. 1.005

Nat idle.
CO. 0.00

First fail for my 2009.
