Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms UK Government vehicle regs changes afoot..?

Pretty much! Although it's not just deliberately manipulating emissions:

"We have chosen not to distinguish between excess emissions caused by poor maintenance of a vehicle and those caused by modifications made to vehicles."

My reading is that the MOT standards haven't been updated since Euro 4. Cars built to Euro 5 and 6 standards aren't tested to those standards. The proposal is to change the MOT system to use the standard in force when the vehicle was built, rather than the current method of periodically updating the law to cross-reference the Euro standards:

"This means that the following will be prohibited:
using a vehicle on the road which has been maintained or modified in a way that means it no longer meets the emissions standards that it was approved to"

In other words, closing the current loophole and making sure it doesn't reappear at the next Euro standard update.

So in a nutshell when I remove my dual Cats with the bypass pipes and change the ECU external resistor as per normal post MOT - carry on as normal just revert to "as fitted" as I do some years.

So what is all the fuss about - prey tell

All the time there are murderers and thieves out there if anyone gets pulled with this one the polis need to get a bloody life, this should be jobsworth Civil Servants work akin to the new breed of offensive/aggresive street furniture posing as traffic wardens..

Interesting perspective Richard... (-: I watched a CH4 YT vid on economics recently where a suggestion of the UK`s decline was summed up by a renown American economist, in that he suggested we had evolved from ruling the waves to waving the rules, which kinda works for me...!

I also beamed up the https://fbhvc.co.uk/ website in the off chance they might have reported on any possible implications, though nothing found..
