Thanks all for overwhelming response.
Nice to see some true petrol Z heads out there.!
In the end I took it back to the mot station where they kindly re-tested the emissions for free after a little rant across country.! To my surprise it passed a subsequent mot so leads me to think that the new exhaust hadn't sealed itself properly or something prior to re-test.
In summary having added Forte Gas treatment & new middle section exhaust etc a re-mot brought the reading right down to 1.00 which smack bang in the middle allowed. I also put super unleaded fuel in the day before so wonder if that helped too.?
A lesson learned for next year perhaps?
Thanks again
