sp7_91 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just a general question to help me decide what to do to my car first and just to see what others do to car first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp7_91 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 It isn't a legal requirement so why would it have a problem come MOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 MOT regs changed few months back. Any vehicle registered after 2008 i believe, must have its original equipment when it comes to emissions and safety... at least thats what ive been led to believe... please let me know if i'm wrong, but i'm fairly certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp7_91 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Ah right, thanks for letting me know I'll have to ask a few folks about that, if i find out anything I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Please do... as i said its only what ive been led to believe, but having a new car and not needing an MOT has meant not needing to ask the questions lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 As long as the car appears to have the dpf fitted then that's as far as the tester can go. The common way is to have the canister emptied and re-welded. The tester has to assume that the dpf is functional as he can't start ripping it apart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 What's illegal about it? It's a pipe you decided to put a heat shield around to stop it getting too hot for the surrounding parts :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
