New MOT stuff starts in may !
Although a lot of the changes won't apply to our cars, some of them will !
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/m...es-20-may-2018 Are they telling us that missing brake pads, or discs wern't a failure before ? |

Or that 40 year old cars are now all safe. Sheesh, In my younger years I owned cars built before 1978, and some of them were absolute wrecks!

Quick, put your DPF back in and remove your EGR blanking plate!

I don't get how the egr and dpf modifications would be a point though because it's just a visual check isn't it, if you can't see it then you can't fail it surely?

It would also be interesting to see how they can check for brake fluid contamination, when, .( even the updated manual says) they are not to remove the reservoir cap ?

If they've been mapped poorly and over fuelling or have an injector issue yes they will smoke. So the new rules state that dpf fitted vehicles must not emit any visual smoke. Good luck Vosa with those sneaky Vw's that will not rev!!! Last edited by rudi dudi; Apr 22nd, 2018 at 14:21. Reason: Typo |
