The air pump is to help the cat to get up to correct temp, and only runs for a min or two, the only way it can effect the emissions is at cold start up, which I believe is not tested, just take it for a good blast down the road before you take it in for the mot.

I was there last october, and it was great, when you come out of the calais ferry port go straight onto the motorway and follow the signs for paris, then the signs to disney, IIRC the tolls were about 16.50 euros to paris and about 4 euros to disney, allow about 4 to 5 hrs to disney from the ferry port, and keep to the speed limits, the french police dont like speeders On the big rides they automaticly take your photo, and if you wish you can purchase them outside of the rides, started at 15 euros 2 to 3 days is plenty to see everything, spend a day in paris up the effiel tower, superb,,,,,,,, we had a picnic on the 2nd level, great have fun and enjoy yourself, :) P.S. if you go on the aerosmith ride (adults only lol) its dark, you cant see were you are going upside down, loop the loop,,,,,,,,,, great stuff
