Machanla, took my 1995 TD5 to Drive Green for emission test and failed miserably! They said NOx levels too high, need to spend thousands fixing before can get certificate. But vehicle runs perfectly fine, no black smoke, engine sounds healthy. These new emission standards killing old vehicles! Anyone else struggling with this? Heard vehicles before 1975 are exempted but what about 80s and 90s Defenders? Is there any way around this or forced to do expensive repairs every year now?
