   As i am going though my check list of MOT failures and close to the end. This is a tricky one to work out for myself on what needs doing.
   
   I have enclosed a picture stating what my exhaust emissions failed on and would like advice on what could be or is the problem? Thankyou guys help appreciated as usual

   Can be a few things, obviously you don't have any blows or it would have come up on the MOT.
   
   A few people say giving the can a good run before the mot will help the emissions. Personally I think it'll be a dead cat or a knackered sensor.

   I will put through its MOT soon then for a retest. Does any of the redex pre MOT help or not?

   If you're looking for exhaust leaks, put your hand over the tail pipe, it makes it now harder from any leaks!
