Re: V8 finally started after 3 years of sitting, over the mo

Just has the phone call from the garage. Failed due to high emissions
Everything else was fine with no problems. Off to collect now and see what's caused the high emissions.
Any ideas please? What's the first thing to be checked?
Thanks.
