I think i have enough motor mechanical knowledge he hehe..
APi hama deema Danaganna one ne,,, he e
You will defa see the Projects at my site i'll PM you after uploading...
thnx...
About the price i think 10-12..neda?? It depends on the Cars look and the buyer..

I test vehicles everyday in the UK, Diesels are a little difficult as we need to ask the driver about the maintainance history of the engine, if the cam belt is due we refuse to test-not fail-just refuse to test as the test involves running the engine up to it,s governed limit up to six times-refuse to test if the stops on a pump look like they have been tampered with- or low on oil or sounds like a bag of nails, just as easy to wreck the same engine on your daily drive when used normally if not properly looked after!
The petrols are revved upto around 3000 RPM and held there for 30 seconds at least, again if your engine cant do this it's not capable of powering your car on the road,even if you think revving it to this amount is bad and change gears every yard to keep the revs down! (some still do this-I was in SL in August)
The whole MOT test in the UK takes arond 45 minutes-the emmisions take around 5 minutes of this time.
What on earth do we need to spend 20 minutes for?
Lower emmisions means lower cost to the owner generally, it saves your car and money in your pocket as well as health benifits to all and lower outlay of precious foreign currency for the country.
Why are we trying to lie to the test station about the condition of your engine only to blame them afterwards for a wrecked engine? I am sure they will refuse liability.
Just look after your car properly, stop wasting money on frivolous things for your car and treat it's engine with a healthy amount of care and you will have nothing to worry about.

I feel there are far more urgent needs of the Sri Lankan motorist that the authorities need to address long before they join the eco band wagon and start testing emmisions. How about the standard of driving, following the highway code, better parking facilities, and even better quality fuel, all the above I am certain will reduce our oil consumption dramatically, but probably not put more money in the pocket of the treasury or favoured businesses! in fact less due to the loss of fuel tax, as whilst all of you are stuck in any one of the main roads in to colombo due to some muppet calling himself a bus driver plays the pick up game and the three wheelers playing merry go round him without a care for the rules you are wasting fuel,and time, both not renewable! How ever you are buying Fuel and paying your hard earned Rupees as tax to the wonder boys running the diyawanna asylum.
Sorry, that's my rant over, to the technical question-HOW BEST TO PREPARE FOR THE TEST try the following,
Make sure your engine is properly maintained, has a air cleaner that is not clogged, has had a regular oil change as is not over due for one, is free of any rattles relating to excessive mechanical wear, and the cam belt has been changed at the correct interval,the exhaust is free of excessive leaks-a small blow is not likely to foul the readings too much.
Then take a drive in Sri Lanka's heat probably a 3 or 4 mile one will do to warm things up nicely, the worst enemy of an engine is being revved from cold, and make sure your cooling fan is working as the test is done when stationary and will not cool the radiator as a result of air passing through it.
I thing the above will be ok for a normal car,small van etc.
Maithri.
