^^^ too right, as many an IVA newbie has failed on emissions
I would imagine any kit car friendly garage would want this kit
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I have no problem with keeping it and lending it to anyone who wants to use it from LCB. Its quite big though so 'local pickup only'.
If someone did want to borrow it I might ask for a completely refundable deposit.

Can it be towed behind a VW for real life testing?

When was it last calibrated? I've worked quite a lot with various bits of analytical kit, without some idea of calibration it'll be less
use than a chocolate teapot for figuring out if you can rely on the readings you'll see.
A calibration is not something you'll likely be able to do at home either, purely due to the gases you'll need.

I use response test gasses to check analysers and meters at work but you'll still need to calibrate the machine.

Would have thought you could get a calibration sufficiently accurate to know whether something is a definite pass or a definite fail simply by
comparing with results taken from known cars compared to that given by the last MoT. After all you'd never want to set something so that it is
"just about" a pass
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Apparently it was in use the day before the business closed so it must be fairly accurate. There must be a way to calibrate them.

I had one once and the instructions told me how to calibrate against air in the atmosphere - with its known percentages of co and co2 etc
Clearly two test points would be better.
