Nicholai Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hello All, I have been looking on the threads and what not seeing what people are running HP wise and what mods. I have noticed that everyone pretty much is running a Decat to get the good power but how are you getting through the MOT with the decat as it would fail the emissions. Quote
Bluebear Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 As far as I'm aware, no data exists for the cars pre-1995, so all the testers are obliged to do is a fast idle test iirc. Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The saying it's who you know, springs to mind. Quote
Matt1878 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Exactly that. Mine passed the idle test but was not passing the 3000rpm test. Maybe my MOT'ers finger slipped on the 1995 test. Who knows? Quote
Nicholai Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 I know that cars 1992 and under don't have an emissions test. Quote
Matt1878 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I know that cars 1992 and under don't have an emissions test.Indeed. Cars 96 onwards have a 3000rpm test whereas cars 92-95 only have idle test Quote
Nicholai Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Indeed. Cars 96 onwards have a 3000rpm test whereas cars 92-95 only have idle test didn't know that mate. Quote
DevonGT Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If the car requires a CAT test of any sort, the CAT needs to be visable or it's a fail, regardless of the emissions. Quote

aleximport25 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 my mot'er said it doesnt need testing as its an import ?? im not complaining :-) Quote
Nicholai Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 hahaha that's wrong straight away buddy lol but if he doesn't do it you laughing Quote
jordan walker Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Find a lenient tester 👍 I'm fairly sure there's a few about if that's the only thing stopping your car from passing and your not selling it on then you might be able to find someone Quote
aleximport25 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 hahaha that's wrong straight away buddy lol but if he doesn't do it you laughing haha sweet he seemed to inspect the car thoroughly but he sniffed up and said im not even testing it as he could smell a fail on emissions Quote
Nicholai Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 haha sweet he seemed to inspect the car thoroughly but he sniffed up and said im not even testing it as he could smell a fail on emissions hahaha that is brilliant lucky git Quote
aleximport25 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 my first mot'er was a complete wanker wouldnt pass the car without indicators on the wings he was adiment they are a must. Quote
Flaminsam Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It's in the testers manual. Simple flow chart. Is the car an import, first registered before 96? Carry out non cat test. After 96? You glanza boys may have problems if you get an anal tester. Quote
rob_bower Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Mine gets through as it has an engine conversion from an undetermined source. Quote
