Title: MOT passed
Post by Nunnspoet on Mar 1^st, 2017, 9:04am

Well, having suffered a couple of Coolant hoses blowing and spraying Coolant all over the Engine Bay, the Header Tank cracking and soaking the adjacent electrics and a bulging Coolant Radiator......New hoses sourced and replaced,one of them made up new by a Co. in Derby, a new Coolant Radiator built by City Radiators, Bilston, and the Header Tank repaired also by City Radiators, plus the car being laid up for aprox 2 months+. Not forgetting the failed Ignition Lock Relay, replaced a couple of days ago, I took her for her MOT yesterday and she passed! With no Advisories.

One happy Ford Scorpio Ultima 2.9 Cosworth Estate (1996) owner. :)

Well done ;D
Mine goes 3 weeks today. just hope the airbag light behaves!!

Couple of questions:

How close to the limit were the emissions?

Are you still seeing the benefit of the Terraclean?

Cheers

Tony

Many thanks everyone. 8)

Tony, it was my other Cossie that had the Terraclean.

Very little info regarding Emission results but here are the "live Readings"

CO Level = 0.10 % vol.
HC level = 32 ppm
CO2 Level = 15.21 % vol
02 Level = 0.52% vol
Lambda = 1.020

If that makes any sense please let me know.

Best regards to all

Mike, thanks for the figures.

Does your other Cosworth still show a benefit from the treatment?

:) 8) And thanks all round.
Tony, I am chuffed with the Teraclean treatment. Everything enginewise feels easy and she is very responsive to the Throttle. Remember she has done 159,000miles so there was bound to be a build up of Carbon and other gungy deposits.

I hope this helps

Mike :)

Thanks Mike
Mine is approaching 120,000 miles and my MOT is in 2 weeks. Emissions are always borderline so I may consider having the treatment as they advertise that it helps with this.

Cheers
Tony
