[turbo Grant]

Was just reading up on some of the changes on the mot. This top one is good

[Amjad]

I'm not a morning person, I'm reading this as good news right? lol

[turbo Grant]

Yes it's good news

[akyakapotter]

English please lol

[turbo Grant]

Means if your cars been Modifyed you don't need party's that were origanly fitted like pas, brake servos, air bags, abs and so on

[mattyD]

What about a de-cat then?

Does that come under 'because the cars been modified' section?

[akyakapotter]

Cat? I don't have one lol

[turbo Grant]

It gets a bit more complicated with the cat as that's on the emissions side of thing. If your car passes the emissions without a cat whitch can be done. But they then can fail it for not having a cat fitted. Cars after 1992 need to have a cat. But then if you look at the bottom right paragraph. Could say your cars amature built modifyed and have a non cat test. They say there is no grey areas in the MOT. I say there is loads

[JordanEP91]

Also from Monday if there is a air bag light on the dash for example the car with fail the mot!

[Liam_D]

^^ Pretty sure thats been a fail for a while now dude?

[Rubix_Cube]

It simply means that testers can't say a car is a fail for it not having something it should as standard (seatbelts, seats, PAS etc etc). Which TBH any tester who did fail cars for that should get a boot in the cock. If its not present how can it fail ¬_¬

TBH MOT's don't bother me.

Because my engine conversion was done by an amateur I don't need a cat then? Lol

[turbo Grant]

Your best off saying you have a 92 engine fitted. It's a bit of a grey spot on the amature built side of thing. No one really knows much about it at my work as you hardly have to use that bit.

[TurboTobz]

Got these papers in my kitchen there are for sure some grey areas

[Jamie1st]

Emissions is easy, say it has an early replacemt 4efte fitted, pre cat. That's how mine is done

[Bean]

when i first put my 5e engine in, the car had no mot so pretty much one of its first journeys was to the garage for its mot. he wasnt bothered about the emissions but when tested the cars emissions were as clean as cars that have a cat in.

[Keenoep82]

IIRC imported cars only need to pass basic idle as there's no specific value given for fast idle in the MOT handbook = no cat required.

[turbo Grant]

If the cars imported and is after 92 it still required to go throw a basic cat test and for there to be one fitted.
