Looks like the end of decats or reduce cats now.
Not just an emissions issue any longer.
Any missing oem emissions gear will be a major fail.

And it reads (to me) that they will be looking for a result VERY close to the type test emission data for the vehicle under test.
Might make some heavily modified cars un MOTable.

The forced induction S2000 being a point in case...

 

Just another opportunity for garages to make a quick bit on the side

 

F@ckin nanny state

Sorry for the language but for god sake. 20 years from now we'll all be driving electric cars anyway!!!!!! And emissions will be a thing of the past.

 

A quick glance at that lot and lots of us could be in trouble if the UK takes up all of these options. Noticed that even suspension Geo is suggested that it should be within OEM tolerances.

The cost of MOT's could go up significantly also adding this lot in.

Wasent there a suggestion recently that the Mot should be bi-annual ?

 

Wonder what this means.

6.1.9. Engine performance
(a) Control unit illegal modified.
X
(b) Illegal engine modification.

They'll end up doing what the do in France where they plug a computer into the OBDII whilst doing emissions etc and the results are uploaded directly to the government's iron brain.

Not good.

 

Looks like they're going to have to hook up your car to a daignostic reader too. Item d.
8.2.1.2. Gaseous emissions
(a) Either, gaseous emissions exceed the specific levels given by the manufacturer.
X
(b) Or, if this information is not available, the CO emissions exceed, (i) for vehicles not controlled by an advanced emission control system, — 4,5 %, or — 3,5 %, according to the date of first registration or use specified in requirements ( a ); (ii) for vehicles controlled by an advanced emission control system, — at engine idle: 0,5 %, — at high idle: 0,3 %, or — at engine idle: 0,3 % ( 6 ), — at high idle: 0,2 %, according to the date of first registration or use specified in requirements ( a ).

They must think that electricity is produced by the fairies or that the reek coming out the power station is "scotch mist" and good for the environment.

 

It is most deffinaitly time for the uk to pull out of that god forsaken EU bunch of interfeering winging barstewards

 

Whens this referendum on EU membership going to come along. Hopefully the germans will push this new treaty thing they are banging on about and Cam will be forced to give us a referendum.
