    My 406 1.9td 97 P failed the MOT on emissions the reading came out at
    an average of 3.60 the limit being 3. Prior to the MOT i put some
    diesel treatment into the diesel tank and changed the air filter and
    thrashed it for about a week before the Mot was due but it still
    failed the emissions??. I ve tried some more injector cleaner since
    and gave it a good thrashing, had it re tested but no change. The car
    is regularly serviced and has covered 130,000 miles. Does anyone have
    any suggestions as to what it might be!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Change the oil and filter.
    Couple of gallons only of decent fuel in the tank, plus another flask of
    anti smoke jollop.
    Make an appointment for MoT (somewhere else) and half an hour before taking
    it in, head up and down the nearest motorway at three to four thousand revs.
    Into the centre with the engine ottasell and straight onto the emissions
    test.

    Hi

    Your speedometer cable could be loose in the back of the speedometer.
    I would check both ends of the cable to make sure they are connected
    properly. Or to eliminate the cable you could have it changed.
    Failing that it could be the speedometer head which could be at fault.
