front number plate worn??!!! its definately readable as the camera van has proved :angry:



It should never of failed the emissions as suzukis are not listed on the enissions data base and should have a normal emissions test carryed out with CO no more than 3.00% and the HC no more than 2000ppm and lanbda dont come i to it what did thay do to get t through the emissions


It was the cat on the manifold - they changed that (i've already had the rear cat and sensor done in the past 2 years). And for my sins................ that was the local zuki dealer - yeap, an expensive mot with the service on top, but seeing as it hasn't had a service for 2 years almost i think it could have been much worse. oh......... and my hand brake efficiency was 4% :-P LOL!!!

DO NOT USE COPPER SLIP ON THE CALIPER SLIDERS as it swells up the rubber sills and make them stick use normal grease
