If thats all, then I can sleep easy except for the"no oil leaks". With a Rover V8, it always looking to leak one or other of it's fluids !
After 16 years I am still try to get it absolutely non-drip !
Whilst on the subject, I have been able to get my car registered but at the CT he told me that I may need to get a lambda sensor plug welded to the exhaust. Do they actually remove the plug to test or can they shove the tester up the exhaust like they did back in the UK ?

They're implementing checks are per EU regulations:
-More items checked than before (probably longer and more expensive CT as a result).
-In addition to the two current failure/warning notes on the CT, there will be a third for significant issues which have to be resolved within 24 hours otherwise the vehicle isn't allowed on the road (except for attempting an other CT later on). Currently an issue can be resolved within 2 months for a contre-visite, time during which the vehicule is allowed on the road.
There is much hearsay here and there, one CT engineer recently told me a car would have to be loaded onto a trailer/truck if it failed on a major item (which is total bull as it happens).

But do we have any idea of what those extra items are and how they will be applied to older vehicles ?
I have finally managed to get my Cobra Replica registered and am now mildly concerned that any new checks may not be achievable on an older car !
