Unhappy Trouble for the catless people

Not a pet thread but I do hear that the Government are introducing new MOT regs that require a direct link form the Garage to VOSPA who will approve the car's emmission test and MOT. This will cause problems for those who are decatted (myself included).

Not too sure of the details and apologise if SIAL.

So when they put someone elses car on the emissions tester to get it through how will the system tell? Are they going to have video cameras?

Anyway, simply refitting the centre cat and getting it nice and hot beforehand should get it through.

I'm just going to stick my center section back on at MOT time.

Just blow into it with your gob after a curry

Should register some emissions but will still pass I think.

So how does this differ from the current situation where the machine read it and it passes if it within the prescribed limits?

Red face

bloke in my local garage said something about each test being 'tagged' to that particular car, so no more testing a 1.1L Fiesta and using the emmision results off that!
