Re: Vehicle MOTs 2012
If pipe is still there, and no emissions test... who is going to know? MOT man cannot be expert on shape of every cat/de-cat pipe on every bike.

Re: Vehicle MOTs 2012
Well if you put a new can on its just a substitution .
If I had a fail on that grounds I'd appeal.

Re: Vehicle MOTs 2012
De cat pipes on cars are easy to Sus as instead of a fat box its just a pipe.
But if you smash the inside out who is going to know. AS some cars can pass without a cat ...

Re: Vehicle MOTs 2012
Have you had the questions over the phone.We were asked why we take so long(No apprentices to do the assisting so that's a mare!)
And why we have so few fail, Visit pending me thinks... ps The video for the new stuff is good.Who'd have thought a reverse cam not working right would earn a failer!

Re: Vehicle MOTs 2012
I've not watched the video yet but i realy should , I got dug up for the opposite , to many failures , brake pipes and suspension , I asked them to come up here and fix the roads and stop the rain 48 weeks of the year , don't think he was pleased with my answer , like you say , I feel a visit or mistery shopper looming .
