i knew that, thought they may use the manufacturers figures for the newer engine if post 2001 but didnt know really sure. from you next sentence though it seams they revert to going on engine size which i guess makes things easier.

I'd guess if you use a post 2001 low tax car and put a post 2001 engine in the Tax will revert to pre 2001 on engine size
The MOT emmisions are definitely engine or body year related, whichever is the oldest.
So 2005 engine in 1998 body = 1998 emmisions.
My year 2000 Focus has a pre 1993 engine in, so will be MOT'd at pre 1993 emmisions, when I eventually get it on the road...

nice bit of info there, sort of sets my mind at rest for the future when i will hopefully be putting a lightly tuned ford 302 windsor v8 into a mk3 capri. want to make a capri that ford should have made as a proper english rival to the mustang. really want to do it to a 280 aswell 8)
