My Rover 200 passed the MOT today but I'm interested in the emissions result.

.30%, spot on the upper limit.
This year, using the same test equipment and tester, it's described as a 'manual
check' and returned a CO figure of just .08 ...

tyre & wheel sizes
Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:37:53 +0100
Does anyone know what the gearing effect would be if I changed the standard
235 - 60 -17" wheels and tyres for 235 - 55 -18" - would the reduction in
profile offset the change from 17" to 18" wheels?
thanks

Hi Group,
Sorry it's not a car but I thought I'm likely to get the most useful
help here.
I have a lawn tractor with a 14.5hp OHV briggs and trattor engine.
The engine has been difficult to turn over and has been getting
worse. The starter seems to stick when trying to turn the
engine over like it doesn' ...
