Took the Diablo for an MOT today and the CO2 testing machine lit up like Blackpool illuminations (instant fail)! The 'sympathetic' MOT tester I've used before no longer works at the Garage so I need to find another pronto - any suggestions?

Cheers,

Adrian

I use Wood Burcote Garage between Silverstone and Towcester.

Thorough but intelligent. Recommended to me by friends and I've used them for the last two MoTs with no problems...work on Saturday mornings as well which can be useful.

Also need a friendly MOT place due to emissions. 911 has a tendency to hunt on the idle test which usually cause an issue.

Can I mention any PH names to Motorvation when I call to make a booking to ensure a friendly welcome and hopefully a pass?

They've put pics of the Diablo on their facebook page so I guess it might be ok to mention me?

Don't blame me if they hang up though smile
