If either the engine or the car are J plate or earlier then you dont need a cat, if they are both K plate or later then you do.

So given the age of the cars in question, I should think he'll need either a cat or a very friendly tester

the car is on a R plate...also as its still registered as a 1.4 would the emissions not be higher on a 1.6 ?

Emissions are a percentage, so doesnt really make any difference what the engine size is.

What's the betting it's insured as a 1.4 as well?
