well my old rangie passed on everthing except emissions. 3 times what it should be. which was strange. as since we had swap to lpg only 4 year ago not a problem. with emissions so i rebuilt the carbs and the gas unit.
took it back told him it might want fine tuning on the air flow side. he said
was worth doing as it had failed emissions again. and thats when he told me he could,nt balance the carbs he did,nt have the gear. so i said not a problem i dig mine out of the loft and bring the rangie back friday at 4pm
except on the way home no power, spent three hours having to reset everything. well local gas stations pump was down so had to go 30 miles away to refill the lpg tanks at the next station, they had just finished an mot so i asked if they could fine tune the rangie as i was having emission problems for the mot they stuck there machine on her did the engine purge. tick over passsed everything no need to fine tune. he said. so at 4pm took the rangie back to for retest, whilst waiting for him to put the probe up the exhaust noticed his computer counting down engine purge
so i asked do you want me to purge the engine. no he said failed he said
so he spent an hour mucking up my carbs again. so i had spend three hours resetting them again. so i,ve booked the rangie in at the garage 30 miles away as i,m puzzled how vosa could,nt fault the the emssions two weeks ago and the tuning garage said no problems yet my local garage keeps failing it.
 
I went through the emissions problems recently, but a friendly garage said I could keep getting the emissions tested for nothing before I put it in for the MOT. He took me through what some garages do and the simple misunderstandings of what an MOT requires.

Second opinion required mate.
 
had emission tested at three diffrent garages this morning passed at all three. no charge took it back to mot garage he wanted fifty quid for another mot he did the emissions and failed the range rover again. so now i,m ####ed as he said this would be marked on vosa,s system for six months, so what do i do now.

Do you have print outs of the emission tests done at the other garages?
If so then go back to your garage and ask for the forms to put in a complaint to DVLA about the MOT test they carried out. (Other folks will be able to tell you what the forms are called- JM, Daft, Fanny perhaps)

yep have the print outs from the other four garages i,ve booked it in at the gas tuning garage where i first had em checked after filling up on lpg
as i,m not wasting another fifty quid locally, don,t normally hav a prob on emissions.

VT17 notice of appeal
 
I'd appeal. if this dude wanted another 50 notes why not go to one of the other garages?

Am I missing something?
