MOT problem

[James.f]

Yet again iv done things last minute, Dvla wanted Renault to confirm my engine CC and engine number i just sent them today, but problem is, my MOT expires today(late pm)

so can i still take my care for a MOT if i give them the correct emmision's on a piece of paper?,

If not..

Im fucked :dead:

??
You can drive the car to a mot station "out of mot" if thats what you mean?

 

[James.f]

Should have made it clearer.

iv done a conversion 1.2 > 2L, V5 is on its way to dvla, but since my MOt is expiring today could i still mot it?

i know the emmisions wont be right, but if i tell the Mot centre my situation, and have the correct emission's that the engine should be producing(min-max) then they could do that on the computer, saves me having to wait for the V5 back.

You don't need to take your V5 for an MOT, just tell the tester the situation and you'll be fine

 

[James.f]

^ how do they get right emissions figure's then ?

I know i dont need my V5 for Mot, but, when DVLA update the V5 any garage that types my reg will come up as a 1998cc and not 1149cc.

 

[Cro]

Never taken my v5 to an MOT, nor has it ever failed for emissions.

 

[James.f]

Cro, i know that, its just for emissions.. or do they go still on 1.2 ones

how would they get the emission figure's though, :S

 

[S&K]

Like I said, just explain it to the tester and you will be fine, which garage are you taking it to ?

 

[James.f]

Taking it to a small garage i use for tyres etc, they have a pit as my car is lowered so its easier for them to check it,

 

[Beef-Mc]

Just explain the situation to them.

Failing that say nothing and see what they say about the emissions.

 

[S&K]

Do you know them well ?

 

[Alastair.]

all cars from march 2002 are testedfor emmission in the same way, doesnt matter about engine size.

 

[James.f]

Do you know them well ?

Yes, i know they guys, i use them for Tyre's etc all the time,

all cars from march 2002 are tested for emmission in the same way, doesnt matter about engine size.

Oh, i though they had a set band were the emmisons should be and if its higher etc than the bench mark then its a fail,

il call them tomorrow then

 

[Cro]

I think theres a guideline that all cars need to be between regardless of engine size. The co2 emmissions on the v5 is what they use for the tax band. I presume of course, but either way nothing will be said if you say nothing and just let them test

Ok cheers, il pop in there tomorrow and have it booked in for saturday
