Chaps,
Battle bus passed it's MOT on Saturday but I would like a bit of info re: 'Free Acceleration Smoke Test'
I was told when I went to pick it up that it had failed the test first time round and that the tester had to take it for a spin up the bypass and retested it when he got back. results as follows.
Test 1
Test Type - Turbo
Test Limit - 3.00 l/m
Mean of 6 tests = 3.78 l/m
Result - Fail
Test 2
Test Type - Fast Pass
Test limit - 1.50 l/m
Single Test - 0.80 l/m
Result - Pass.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences between the 2 tests and why there is more than one acceptable method.
Thanks
Gammy

The difference as I understand it is that if the result of the first test/press of the accelerator is below 1.5 then it qualifies as an instant pass.
If the first test has a higher result (more than 1.5) then the result is taken from the average of 6 tests. (IIRC three of which have to be in succession).
