Hi, |
|
This seems to be coming into effect in May next year. I haven't |
|
seen it mentioned here? |

There is a lot to read through and watch out for the 15% power |
|
increase meaning you'll still need to have it MOT'd |

So if your running a tdi series / V8 series you will still need |
|
an M.O.T. then as my rebuild is fitted with a tdi engine :( |

Hi, |
|
As I understand it, that 15% is not yet written in stone. |
|
Also, how are they going to measure the power ... and the |
|
weight? There is no such thing as a standard weight for a Series |
|
Land Rover, just borrow a hard top and Wolf wheels when you take |
|
it to the weighbridge. Adjust the throttle linkage when you put |
|
it on the rolling road. :rolleye0012: |

I only found out about this today. |
|
My MOT ran out in January. the only reason I have not taken it |
|
for a test, is I have a rotten door top. I don't think that |
|
would fail, but a good side gust of wind on he way might finish |
|
it off. So I had planned to delay the MOT until I had replaced |
|
the door top. |
|
As I understand it, if I just wait until 20th May, I can carry |
|
on using it as it will then be MOT exempt so I won't waste my |
|
�54 |
|
Mine is the standard petrol engine so original. Would a new |
|
galvanised chassis make it exempt from the mot exemption? |
