• MOT diesel rev limit test 20 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I haven't run a diesel in years and forgot about the ridiculous rev limiter in neutral test. I intend to slip the tester a couple of notes to not subject my engine to this nonsense when the MoT expires in March. I just wondered if anyone had done similar?! If so, can you recommend
