ive been looking on the tfl website and appears ill need to have a filter fitted, been getting quoted £1400 supply :0 which is a rip of and dont see why i have to spend £1500 minimum or get a new van just to drive in my area whilst everywhere else in england is fine? my question is being as 56 plates onwards pass i was wondering if they ave these filters? could i get one from scrappy and convert mine?????

Fil

When it came in it was around £3000 for a conversion to the overhalfs horse box, which was used 1 or 2 times a month and worth about £4000, so e had to sell the lorry.

Tho i tried my hardest to come up with a solution, it seemed there wernt much to the conversion, filters and exhaust and a catalyst tank, that you couldn't fit yourself as you needed a certificate and to be on the tfl system, basically ken ( at the time ) cunting livinstone, sold the rights for shitloads to approved garages.

You could stick a petrol lump in it, would be ok then, even tho the mpg will be worse and emissions higher

cheers phil, time to sell up, would be fine for anywhere else but as said ken cunting livingstone has alot to answer for the bloody waste of oxygen lol.

We deal with it a fair bit its a euro 4 thing and will get worse lol as euro 5 and 6 come out on trucks anyway! talk to eminox they make most of the exhaust systems ive seen for reduced pollution!

ajamesc

You can fit them yourself we have fitted a few now u just have to take it to vosa for a reduced pollution certificate test

any ideas for the cost doing it d.i.y?

Fil

Not good at all, as from euro 3 to 4 engines the mpg has got worse in the pursuit for better emissions, so 5 and 6 cant be good for your pocket?

Couldn't do it yourself when it came in, great if you can now tho, what sort of cost are you looking at for DIY and the testing?

ajamesc

Your best bet is to google eminox and get a price off them for an exhaust system with the reqired particulate filter in it to bring it in line as for testing u would have to ring vosa and find out who dose that class of testing near to you will most likely be the closest hgv test station

ajamesc

That all depends on what u work on lol a euro 5 daf has much mpg than a euro 3 one! and daf say in london an xf 105 puts cleaner air out of the exhaust than it takes in the air filter lol when u take them to test there so clean they dont even register on the meter!

Fil

ahh for me its my navara, got an auto euro 4 one, and like others its does 20mpg

but the euro 3 autos do something like 28mpg same engine just less emisions crap fitted

Didnt realise that it was so different when buying
