Help me get legal!!
Ok so I have had this 98 Land Rover just sitting in my drive way for about a year. About 4 months ago my family decided to get it running again. Well it needed about two grand with of work. The car was burning to much fuel and was shooting white smoke out of the exhaust. After all this the check engine light was still on and reported a missfire. The guys at the shop said that the o2 sensors in the cat were probably still coverd in gas and after all that dried up it would shut off. Well it never did. I even paid them another three hundred for new plugs and wires plus I had to get new rotors and pads for the front brakes. I just don have the money right now to have it serviced again. Now I am trying to in a plate for the car but it wont pass the emmissions test with the check engine light on even though it runs fine. They are telling me that they think it could be sticky valves but even so it is gonna cost a butt load just to even look at them. I just need to get a plate, my brother has already got a ticket for driving it.
Someone told me that if I bring paper work that shows that I have been trying to get it fixed, thry will issue me a plate and allow me the chance to fix it. Is this true? Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do?
