My Escort Cossie has had all the Catalytic Converters taken off and a full Mongoose system put on. Is it going to fail the new style MOT like this? Has anyone already experienced this? And are those Sport Cats that Graham Goode do any good, and will they connect to a Mongoose exhaust?

 

it will fail, all cars that are supposed to have a cat wont pass emissions tests, luckily my MOT guy lets this slide

 

They can't let it slide now though, it's all linked to a central computer so surely they have no way of rigging it. I used to get round it like that too.

I ask because my 2000 Diesel Focus failed first time a few weeks ago, so it must be very strict now.

 

if the co readout is linked to the computer,what about if they connect another car up to the anylyser after a few adjustments to original car

mark

 

the gas test is not linked to the vosa computer system, the gas test has not changed , but your does still need a cat to pass

 

Whats the best types of sports cat to get for the car, and please no pictures of cats in nike t-shirts

 

Rubbish, if the emssions are within spec, it will pass. It doesn't need to have a cat to achieve these.

The Freelander we have just passed it's MOT and it has no cat what-so-ever (I destroyed it from all the high speed driving ), and it is just an empty box at the moment . I just put it in to see what would happen, and it passed no problem....

 

Oh well, I'll give it a go Mike. It's not due for a few months anway, just thought I'd ask the question. PS Mike, I'll probably be coming to you for that AP 356mm brake conversion before too long, I'm also thinking about the 300mm rear conversion as well. Can you do me a super special deal if I buy both?

 

It's already a corking deal .

 

Well I always like to get the best price I can. ps Does your price on the website for the rear conversion include postage?

 

lol good luck at getting a Cossie to pass a 0.3% co and under 300hc along with keeping the Lambda within spec with out a cat
