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

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!

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?

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

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!
