Matt1878 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Pay off the guys or go somewhere else for your MOT .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah going to need to go somewhere else because the guy was arguing with me saying the cat has been cut out of the exhaust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Soooo many different views on this issue. The outcome is always that you need a 'friendly' mot tester. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm going to have this problem when my mot is due Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The guy who put my tdo4 on had a custom sports cat made for such and occasion, so come mot time i just have to put the sports cat in,Generally speaking go to the more back street mot'ers and not the high street rip offs. just ask them if they say no keep looking , you will find one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Think it's only the Gt's that get away with no cat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

little dave Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 august 92 i think is when no matter what they dont need one after that as long as they can meet the emissions then by law its fine no car needs a cat it just has to meet emisions to be road legal if you get my driftbut find a frienldy mot chap and explain what you have got they may help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARK@CMBAUTOS Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Now uv had a fail it's logged on a computer So I'll be lucky to get some one to do it now that it's been logged Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if your car had a CAT and you've removed it, they will fail it. (If they spot it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Think I'm just going to get one made save all the fuss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
little dave Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 how longs this been in for mate i have a good mate do my tests now and yes they never fail even my land rover that set on fire whilst been tested lol he just said he had alreay tested that bit and it passed two min earlier but i had a series of cars i lost the cat on and this was apart of the test sum years back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Now uv had a fail it's logged on a computerSo I'll be lucky to get some one to do it now that it's been loggedShit that ruins my plan, I've been offered to have mine done by a place that will barely look at the car, so I was going to have it passed there, but then have it done at another place and obviously failed for the cat, just to ensure the car is safe, I take it thats not gonna be ideal now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's if they can be bothered to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARK@CMBAUTOS Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Id rather a tester checked my car over fully so u no its all safe And not hanging in peices In my eyes the cat should be the only defect everything else needs to be mint !If a tester don't look at everything else he's an ignorant cunt ! And don't deserve his ticket Edited September 26, 2012 by MARK@CMBAUTOS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm one of the lucky one I suppose mine registered at the cut off date in 92 so I've never had a problem with my gt but feel for u guys with glanza's as it can be hard nowa days to find a friendly m.o.t tester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It dosent need a CAT for UK MOT rules, if they cant match the engine code to that off a UK car in their computer system then they cant test the emissions and it has a basic idle test.MOT station obviosuly dont know there MOT rules properly.

But as I said that's if they look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 but how would they no if it had one in japan ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
