Hi, I've managed to start my beast today for the first time in months - as normal she spits out loads of white smoke on startup which calms down a little after 30 or so seconds. The smoke is white. I was looking around the engine bay and noticed that when it is running and the oil filler cap...

Hi there, hope you can help, My Series 3 is now out of MOT, it smokes massively on startup which i aim to fix, anyway, i was wondering what the MOT criteria is for old vehicles, surely they aren't tested by todays standards? I asked my MOT place i go with my daily run abouts and he said that...
