2014 MOT rules on de-cat
my defender td5 90 has a de-cat exhaust and the new MOT laws 2014 say if it was fitted with a cat or dpf from new it has to be put back on is this true for a 2004 defender td5 as mine runns so much better with out the cat and past emissions fine on last MOT Sad

Its nothing to do with the emisions test its purely that the government want us all to suffer hippy rules on cars. Buy one for the mot day and remove and refit as needed or buy a sports cat and accept the modding scene is getting more irritating

It certainly has and you should not hate yourself for others shortcomings in using what is an excellent facility.

Thumbs Up Whistle If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
