They haven't defined what they would check with regard to a chipped ECU, or how they would do it (if it involves new equipment once it has been defined then there would be a lead time in all the MOT stations having to acquire it) so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

Wouldn't think you would need to, thought only renault had readers for these cars. Thought OBD1 & 2 equipment couldn't read the chips. Bet there are a lot of older cars like that.

If any garage tried to test my Emerald ECU, it would bite their arms off. I have it well trained.

I can't see it happening, been testing for 4 years now and there's nothing coming through on the proper channels. Id have to fail both my cars. One chipped one HID'd
