[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 886914, member: 175144"] The car in the yard needs an MOT (again), but I haven't used her for a number of weeks/months and even though I've drained most of the fuel out of the tank, I know what is left has been languishing in there since 2013. The detail on the MOT conditions state 'drive straight to the station' but being a diesel she is going to need warming up for a few miles to clear out the exhaust/particulates in order to do OK in the emissions test. How literally is the 'drive straight' part in the suggestions and could I get away with a ten mile run ? [/QUOTE]
