right the law states you dont have to have a cat but the car must be road worthy (mot) but all cars post 91 must be made with a cat in the exhaust system

I thought it was 94? My dad had a Range Rover (L-reg) and it got away with no cats because it was over two tons.

NO, not having a cat is perfectly legal.

What is illegial is failing the emissions test, some cars WILL pass with no cats on, but only a few

If you have a friendly local garage, they might do you a favour and use a legal car belonging to another customer for the emissions part of the MOT test!

I can get an MOT that is fine!

next year the euro 4 emissions standard comes into play, thes limits are very tight compared to the current euro 3 (which are inturn tight compared to the euro 2 and 1 standard). however this is only applicable to new cars manufactured after jan 05. so it looks like they are not making the decat illegal, just obselete

and those emmision laws only apply to cars when new its liek an sva test you have to make a car safe for that for it to pass but after that you can do what you want with it

[McBunny]

[George16v]

[McBunny]

not really no pops and bangs yes flames no

 

[George16v]

I get pops and loud burbles now though not even flames when I change gear like the 16vs do?

 

[McBunny]

[McBunny]

ya cant get real pops and bangs with a cat as the cat stops the fuel getting through really

 

[George16v]
