Mine passed at Vauxhall with a de-cat. Just told them it was out of a '90 Astra that didn't need a cat, and it passed. | |

The car will have to pass the emissions test for the engine that is fitted, not for the 96/97 car that it is. When I had my LET done with no cat and they said it had failed, I confidently said course it wont you fool, its a 1989 engine! they re-tested it as one and it passed :) | |

Mine passed without a CAT and is a 93 Dispack engine, i didn't say anything about the year, I think redtops are generally regarded as pre-cat engines. | |

Is there anyway for the MOT guys to prove the engine is from a year that it needs a CAT? I would try saying it was an early engine therefore no CAT. | |

hes already said it was from an l reg so it needs a cat, i would put loads of red x in and give it a good thrash down a motorway and try and find a decent tester, its amazing what passes when you do | |

Take the oil cap off, look into the engine for a circled two digit number 89 90 91 | |

Put some decent fuel in say BP 98 (or equiv) and some redex fuel cleaner in the tank and give it a good hard blast before the MOT. | |
