Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Looking for advice here and have searched the forum for similar questions in the past.

    Car went for NCT the friday before last. Failed due to wishbone bushes. Grand. However, noticed coming out of the NCT centre that the EML came on the dashboard. Never had a problem with it before. It appeared that it came on due to the NCT test. Wasnt there before the NCT, appeared immediately after. There was no noticeable issue while driving home and none while driving to the mechanic.

    Friend is a mechanic (Home is a good distance away) and dropped it to him this weekend - fixed the wishbones bushes, gave it a full service and couldnt understand why the EML had come on. (Im a complete novice re cars and I should have asked about the codes that it had returned) He said that the engine was in perfect nick and "quenched the light" - maybe he unplugged the battery. I'll ask.

    Driving a good bit at the weekend, over 250 km maybe, no EML. NCT retest due for this saturday, but yesterday the EML re-appeared again. Given that it would cause an awful lot of hassle to go back to the same mechanic again, and that the car has just been serviced, would you recommend doing the NCT with the EML on, postpone the NCT retest maybe, go to a different mechanic before the test (will require time off work that might be tricky)?

    Any advice would be taken on board, and thanks for reading.

    Car will not fail test because EML is on. My car passed recently with the light on. An NCT tester confirmed to me it was no issue beforehand when I was getting my father's car tested.

    As above, its not a fail point for the NCT.

    I don't understand how your mechanic couldn't tell you what cause the light if he was able to switch it off?

    What type of can and engine is it?

    Yeah. I will be asking him today for the full information on the EML. I wasnt aware that it was a code (i dont know much about cars in general) but he said that it was sorted. I suppose its not that he couldnt tell me, he didnt tell me.
