MOT Changes 2018
Apologies if someone has posted already but I've only just seen this.
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...2018-draft.pdf A draft so may change, but, from May EGR blanks/deletes, gutted CAT/DPF and retrofit HID are now a Fail. There is now a "nuisance" reason for fail which includes exhausts louder than standard. Bugger...

Sounds good to me, as I get older my eyes seems to be getting more sensitive to badly aligned aftermarket HIDS.

wow thats a big document and I dont understand it at all! with the retrofit HID's thats no problem as swapping the bulbs take a second which is great on our cars.
Dont understand that exhaust thing? cant have an exhaust thats louder than standard? surely thats a load of rubbish, will put out most of the fabricating exhaust companies out of business then. The document says 'DRAFT' all over it? thats not official is it?

Completely agree.... so you can buy a barn find on eBay now and drive it home. I’ve got a car over 40 years old, but I don’t have brake rollers in my garage.

I think any classic owner with an ounce of sense will have an MOT style test run by a seasoned tester on the car every year anyway. It's £40, and the brake testing and gas analyser alone can give you insights into maintenance needed that you simply can't get unless you have the kit at home.
