New MOT regs for 2012

[plod]

nope

it has to illuminate to showing it's testing the system and go out to prove it's all ok

removing bulbs, or covering with tape won't work anymore i'm afraid

ah. rite.

wire it up to one of the other bulbs then,

some soldering perhaps

thats whats happens with taxis and they get away with it, and there Mots are very strict,

[plod]

i'm sure you're right, and peeps will come up with loads of little tricks for fooling the testers

I guess i'm going to have to do the same if I have the plodmobile still come may next year as will need to weld something on the zorst to look like a cat

[lozz]

iwas speaking to someone the otherday:
he said his car had failed as there was no Cat,

110 derv 406


hes used the cat off a vauxhall rekons he got it to fit,

[plod]

Think i'd be looking to weld something over the existing pipe to create the impression of their being a cat as opposed to fitting one back on

Although my mate was trying to get me to look at 110 in Coventry, so 15 mins down the road
2003 Executive Estate with tan leather needed a little tlc for 700 notes, but it's a wankamatic
Maybe on a V6, but wouldn't want one on a 110

[lozz]

ithink what people are doing is buying a cat,

splicing it in 2 and welding it round the pipe (dummy cat)

ive got plenty of cats in my Garage if you ever need one,

[plod]

Ah, fair do's

I'll probably need one of a V6 406, as that's what my zorst came off

You might struggle there, they've got one in each downpipe, plus at least one more.....

The ES9J4 (194bhp) only has one cat
The ES9J4S (210bhp) has two pre-cats on the downpipes and then a further cat or two

[plod]

ah well, there's a zorst place next door, i'll have to keep my eye open for something suitable in their bin

[steve_earwig]

I thought it was illegal to put a cat in a bin


Seriously, they're full of precious metals and such so I don't think they'll end up in a wheely bin (unlike Tiddles here)

[lozz]

idont think they will throw cats away tbh.
ive been told there worth a few quid,

get us a rough idea of what you need length width etc, and iwill see if ican find one for you,
