it is a '93' k plate saff cosworth with the cat removed, will it pass its emmisions?

 

providing it is setup correctly and the CO is set etc etc, then it will pass as it is legally not required to have a cat-convertor on this year.

 

thought it was everything 92 onwards that legally requires one?

 

Think if the car was built in 1993 it would need a cat?

 

mines a 93 car and passed without the cat on - even on the new dvla computerised system

 

Cars built or used after Aug 1992 had cat's fitted by law. If the car can achieve a pass without a cat, then it's not a requirement to have it fitted, but obviously the MOT for cat' year cars is more stringent.

 

Probably not unless you have a friendly mot station

 

my escos(k-93) failed without cat,sounds like you need to find a friendly mot dude,dude

 

K plate is a bit iffy, it goes on the build date not the registration date... so if it was built before aug 92 you're ok.

mine's a K plate and it dont need one

 

i thought these mots were all hooked up to computers now so there was no way around the emissions check? as if you leave it too long it times out and the mot fails??

 

its late 93 need cats, unless you can get your emmissions to same limit

 

like take the runabout along with you too and emmisions test that

 

More to the point is my £950 nova 16v(project chav) going to pass at 16.00 friday. I think not

 

My september 1992 escos without cat passed the cat test only last week - Just.

Although I did play with the map a bit before hand.

I was told ALL cars sold with a CAT as original fitted after AUGUST 1992
has to have a WORKING cat to pass an MOT test.

 

My car was MoT'd yesterday, as I drove off I checked if they'd fixed the horn, seeing as I told them it was faulty when I dropped it off. And nope, horn still don't work, long live Britain...

 

Correct!

 

The complicated law goes, that any new car that is registered after 01.08.92 has to have a cat unless the build date is within a 6 month period prior to 01.08.92 (01.02.92-31.07.92)

Eg. I had a Mk V 130psi XR3i which was registered 30.09.92 and had a Mongoose exh on it. The build date of it was February '92 so I didn't legally need a cat.
