Yes, but unless diesel and petrol is a byproduct from the manufacture of hemp underwear, you won't be able to buy fuel!

I had this worry last year with my cars, just to see if they will pass, But that was the least of my worries, The mot tester was a right jobs worth, Didn't give a monkeys about the exhaust setup, but was silly about the noise of my 306 exhaust system ( exhaust loud) Its not even loud at all. Just a simple powerflow stainless steal decat system. The defender went though no bother and I had put a full blown cheap decat system on that, ( that was well rotten)
So I found if you have a friendly MOT tester, they should just pass the motor as normal, My old mot tester, Didn't even give too about it, He said you can shove a full blown pipe with out a back box and it I will still pass it. Shame that garage doesn't mot cars anymore. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

They won’t be allowed to remove covers from anything, so if you keep the acoustic cover they won’t be able to see what is fitted which I doubt they are even interested in. For later vehicles I can see them eventually being able to plug something in and find out about maps, egrs, and stuff, but not on the Td5 as it isn’t standard plug wiring and doesn’t get involved with the egr.

i think a lot of testers don't bother going to in depth with a few things. I think most are more bothered if it passes the smoke test. so just be careful who maps these. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

A 3rd must be the insurance implications of knowingly running an illegal/unfit vehicle. |
