Going in today. Sure it will fail on something small and minor. Although place usually passes it on emmissions with the decat.

At least I've got a long weekend to put anything right.

My local MoT station dont run on emmissions test on cars with non- standard engines fitted (ie my mates VR6 ibiza, and numerous mates 2.0 16v corsas/novas) so none of them ever remove dectas etc.

Hopefully will be the same for my hybrid when it goes in, but i dunno due to clios coming with 2.0s!??

My old valver passed its emissions with my de-cat and magnex exhaust system.

Was the same for my Hybrid - they gave it a 'universal' emissions test, usually done for kit cars and the like. It needed 3.5% to pass on that test compared to the 0.5% of a standard test! Needless to say it passed with the decat on :D

What you really want is a nice J-reg clio which never had to meet the lower emissions in the first place ;).

Mines on an m plate and they didnt even have to do a cat test, tested the emissions but thats not a very strict test, it said on his chart that all cars were given two years grace after the law came in because of certain manufacturers dragging their heels. i.e. Rover with the metro etc. Because mines within those two years it didnt need it :lol:

Yours is a 96 though isnt it?

Passed without needing a bulb or a wiper as it often does.

Usual tester wasn't there either so thought I would get an emmissions fail but didn't.
