Oh ya and the seat moves again and theres no check engine light on the dash. Cant believe I didnt spot it sooner. Then again it happened in the dead of winter so I probably woulda waited till it warmed up out anyways to get to the bottom of the CEL & P1633 code which aside from the seat moving had no effect on performance. Crazy how a .20 cent fuse can be so frustrating.

We have about the same population in the Metro Toronto/Golden Horseshoe area as Scotland--we could have our own country if we wanted!
Really our emission testing has not bothered me--my cars have always passed so far. It is really just another tax!
My beef is that I have gotten so used to the clean air that when I travel to some places I find breathing the air somewhat obnoxious.
Just as a matter of interest, I had to test my 2004 S-Type 6 weeks ago. Since my car was winter stored with the battery removed I had some concern with how much driving it would take to get all the systems ready. I drove about 80km.It was fine

Here is a bit of a trick with the DriveClean program conditional pass. They will run a diagnostic & quote you for the repairs, and you have to spend "up to $450" in emissions repairs. However, if there are no individual repairs they can do for less than $450, you only pay for the E-test, diagnostic fee, and second E-test (50% off if done at the same location).
I recently got a conditional pass with codes P0400 (EGR), P0442 (small evap leak), P0456 (very small evap leak). For the EGR valve replacement they quoted $538, and the evap leaks $898 (replacing the charcoal canister behind rear crossmember).
Just had to pay $210 out the door which included the E-test, diagnostic, and smoke test of the evap system.

I'm glad to hear your car is OK.
You might hate the air in many of our big cities - OBD doesn't do a good enough job for diesels (hardly tests for NOx & PM - diesels kick out over 20 times as much NOx). I suppose it's because where OBD was designed they have few diesel cars so didn't face the terrible pollution we have.

I was born in Huddersfield and at one time was trained to breathe "industrial air"
I have been re-trained over the past 50 yrs to breathe clean air!

I got mine done at Sammy's Service Centre (Yonge & Eglinton). Have never been there before but I had a fine experience, very easy to deal with.
