Never failed on emissions with Trigger's Brush or my current MKII Octy. Maybe yisser aren't maintaining them properly.

Your best result seems to be from the cleaning fluid, Watty. Do you remember what it was called? Might be useful to others going forward.

No, I can't remember the name.  But I'd imagine these diesel engine cleaners are all pretty much the same.

Edit: It was called Novafuel Cleaner and it was €18

Got it tested yesterday 1.3 so would pass just .First reading was 3.2 Talking to the Rodent today and I said I didnt fancy another Diesel due to emissions test but he pointed out Petrol cars fail on emissions as well .

Petrol bar is lower than diesel but not for long. Derv cars are for the drop, man...wake the fuck up. Hybrid or brand new petrol cars are the future...well. for the next 6 or 8 yrs anyway.

If diesel car prices are droppng through the floor, might make economical sense to buy a few cheap 7yr old diesels (in succession) rather than buy a new taxi at approx €25-30k? 
Say you bought a 7yr old taxi for €5k and spent €1k/yr on maintenance.  €500 to kit it out with meter etc.  That's €8.5k over 3 yrs or €17k for two taxis over a 6 yr period. 
Almost €10k cheaper than buying new.  Might be worth a gamble?

Perfect analogy. Buy cheap and abuse for 3 years. I think my next yoke will only be a 12 or 13

If anyone knew what they were going to do next, but no-one does. Some say the rideshare model is the future but others dismiss it. With the extension of this 30km limit to beyond the city limits.........there's nothing they might do that would surprise me anyway. People out there who believe Air B n B is all about getting people used to sharing their houses........? Who knows what Angela, Jean-Claude and co have in mind.
