GF04RCE Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Now very confused, happy but confused.... GF04RCE is my 2004 self-build, upgraded with a powerspeed bulk buy thus losing the CAT and going 4-2-1. At the time i had my old exhaust modified in case i needed to swap in the CAT for MOT's woth a 4-1 connector... I was ok without the swap for a number of years, then i was told the rules had changed so for the last couple of years i have been doing the swap. This time i thought i would check what type of exhaust check would be done. Clearly our 7's are not easily found on the systems but i was informed that it would be a non-cat test... so no swap sailed through the MOT £45 all in and i am on the road again. So what is the rule was i just lucky and they got it wrong or do self build cars not need CATs...? Cheers David M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 19, 2014 Member Share Posted April 19, 2014 There's a link to the flow chart that defines the emissions test for each model in this thread. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Assuming this is a 2004 car then to meet the emmission test it will need a catalyst unless you have proof it's fitted with a much oldrr engine. The tester got it wrong but I don't expect you'll be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Interesting that the flowchart here says that Kit Cars and amateur built vehicles post '98 are to use the emissions data on the V5... but mine has no emissions data on it, and it is a 2003 SVA's K series. Does anyone else have emissions figures on the V5? My other car does (2009 Dodge Nitro Diesel) but not the Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium7 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 My 2009 K Series original blue V5 had no emissions on it but the red replacement did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
