If a car is fitted with an engine that is proven to be of an older age, does it have to pass the emissions test for the older engine or the car it is fitted to ?

thanks

older engine

 

What Alex said.

 

I use it

Mini are good like that 1959 to 2001 leaves lots of options open!

Cool, cheers Alex
I assume you are like me and don't have a RS2000 anymore ?
One way or another I'm fitting a 1988 5 litre V8 to an EsCos, if it is easier to start with a Q plate with visual smoke test I would have gone that way.
So in theory you could fit an RS500 engine to a late model EsCos and not have to past the CAT test ?

The V5 (photocopy) of the old engines will do

But it is up to the mot man's discression... but it is a known fact so most are ok with it.

i had trouble with MOT testers who refused to accept that this was the case before... if they give you any stick, make sure you argue the case and MAKE them look it up in the book

 

you mean YOU actually took a car for mot??? i thought you paid people loads of cash and they did it???? lolol only messing... and on topic, make sure the MOT man looks it up.....

 

All the news I wanted to hear
