Hello chaps

OK so Ive got 20 hours berfore Ruth (1990 Renault Campus 1.1) has to got back into get retested.

Done So Far: 1. Changed air filtwer
2. Changed plugs
3. Redex fule additive

Ive adjusted the idle to a bit higher

Found the Mixture screw:

Clockwise all the way in to make the mixture leaner .....good for passing emmissions right?

What you need is a bottle of Tri-Pak (octane-booster -For petrol-engine) lasts for 600 liters costs£18 over here
I've used it on many cars that were hopeless to pass-after pouring into tank you take the car for a spin and drop
in to test-mine has passes Every time!!
-On a Very dirty Caddie the emissions were reduced by a whopping 65% SIXTY-FIVE %.... Nothing else was done
to it....
Just found their address: info@tripak.se (so possibly Swedish company) Hope you get it through Spackers! -Reid.
 
Cheers Reidy

Im on the case.......

by the way I notice that if you make 4 more messages you get to the big 1000 messages. :clapping:
 
Hi Sprackers! How did it go ?? -if of any help you could Pm me and I'll send a bottle of Tri-Pak your way so you can enjoy your 5 to the fullest..
I know...Usually these Wonder-stuffs never works as should, but this one actually does what it's supposed to do-so don't hesitate ok? -Reid.
 
Hi Reidy et al

Renault 5 Campus 1990

Here is my original 'fail' MOT with emissions readings.

Bear in Mind the emissions limit for my car is 3.5%

I didnt have time to get your tri-pak as I only had 24 hours.

This is what I did:

Changed air fliter
Changed spark plugs
Added Redex fuel additive
Turned up the idle speed
Turned down the fule mixture screw practically all the way (clockwise) to make the mixture leaner.
Engine was just going
Turned the screw anti-clockwise just a little so the engine was just going
Took the car out on teh Motor way for 25 minutes and went as fast as possible
Went to the MOT.

Heres my result
