Some back street ones MAY but tbh not worth the risk any more.

I've had this done before. It wouldn't pass no matter what we did then magically it did pass
The garage has shut now though where I had it done at so no good to you

try asking in your regional section mate. Must be somewhere by you that will sort you out.
£20 on the passenger seat works wonders round here though

Same here mate, the probe 'fell out' of the Corsa's exhaust and into a 1.2 Clio for me
If the OP's talking about a standard car it'd probably just be easier in the long run to get it fixed.

Just go to a local one (i.e. not a chain like Kwik Fit) and ask them to stick another car on the ramps - give them some beer money

Aye you're right, if there's nothing else showing as odd it's probably the first thing I'd go to.
