DavidAshton Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well thats why your went through, it clearly states for a 94 a non cat test is needed. July 95 onwards cat test needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 yeh but pre-cat tests are pre 92 on normal cars arn't they?or is the pre 95 thing for import cars only? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 It makes no difference import or not, it is if the specific limits information is present on the VOSA database. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 sva test is like a harder mot test they do to imports of a certain age over 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 either way i know the gt's need basic emissions test which unless smoking their nob off cant fail so sorry for the misunderstanding david so its the gt's that dont need a cat test then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Can't understand why you'd wanna go somewhere slightly dodgy, doesn't say much for setting a good example, why not get it done properly????Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Can't understand why you'd wanna go somewhere slightly dodgy, doesn't say much for setting a good example, why not get it done properly????DamienI imagine its due to the fact people running a td04 etc would either have to swap there whole manifold/turbo/decat setup or get a cat welded into there current exhaust.A lot of work to swap it and back over after the mot.For the sake of a friendly MOT i think its worth it. Im not sayin miss any other issues just emissions.All my MOTS have been fully legit though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sayin miss any other issues just emissions.All my MOTS have been fully legit though.I can understand that, but if the actual customer explained the situation to an MOT tester without any bullshit, they'd be able to bypass the emissions test. Rather than going through the hassle, it's easier to be truthful and in turn it paysDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i highly doubt that an MOT tester will "bypass" an emissions test because you go to him and say i think my cars going to fail on emissions and its too hard work toswap the cat/turbo back over etcwhat MOT centre have you been going to that does that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
