Mine went through without them. Emissions were on the ... high side smile

Liable to be corrected here by someone who actually has a clue - I thought the values were expressed at a percentage - mine was 6%.

Looking here seems to show two tests expressed in different units. Looks like your fella was measuring total gas emitted in a non-catalyst test, whereas mine did a catalyst test?

His comment was, "You haven't got any cats! Oh well cars like these are better without them..."
