Couldn't care less.It's illegal to remove or tamper with any emission control items, egr and cat included and has been for a while.
You are a very naughty boy
Edit: I do wonder if that also includes fiddling with the fuel system.
I couldn't either but at least you now know.
So who's going to prosecute me? No one's even interested. All mechanics are aware that EGRs are fitted to some Defenders and other vehicles. Checking its existence is not a part of the MOT anyway, just an emisions test. If it passes then it is legal. I'm not going to mess up my engine because of some stupid idea.
Actually I do believe they are meant to check them and fail if missing or tampered with, same with the cat and dpf if fitted.
If we were all scared of governments and complied with all their bs (like masks etc) we would be living in a prison. Mind you we're nearly there now! Tbh they can do what ever they like - I am not complying.
Good for you.
Masks do nothing, they just show everyone you are compliant. In fact they are dangerous to lungs. But that's another story. I'm OK with it being removed on my 300 tdi too. My point is laws are to be tested.
It is if they can see it:
| Defect | Category |
|---|---|
| (a) Emission control equipment fitted by the manufacturer missing, obviously modified or obviously defective | Major" |
I took mine off in 2007. Why should I **** anyone off? If I had an issue with them I wouldn't go back. It's that simple.
I posted on another thread my experience the other day where a D head ****ed off my local MOT tester who is a really decent bloke and would never be unfair. You could get yourself into a situation where you end up going to a testing station where there are a bunch of jobsworths working. In this case the bloke had come back for retest and a service, he had bought some ball joint boots and got annoyed cos they wouldn't fit them as they had had too many experiences where peeps had bought sh!t ones from China for them to fit that didn't do the job and then came back and moaned at them. So, yep, he ffed off to another testing station. We all laughed as we knew he wouldn't get better service anywhere else and any work he paid for would be more expensive.
No it won't happen. This is all hypothetical 'stuff'. As I said, never had any EGR problems or any others with testing, but thanks for your time.
Well I hope you got the answers you were looking for and pass your MOT.
That'S he problem, I haven't had any answers yet to - anyone done the mods and been knocked back in the MOT.
Although they put out the idea that mask wearing was supposed to help protect the wearer, they were very inefficient at that unless they were the top class one worn by docs.
Ok, I'll give you my answer.
They stop spit - nothing else. They don't stop anything, but they can cause bacterial lung infections and hypoxia etc if worn for too long. It was all a massive hoax. I could explain it in depth but this is a Land Rover forum. I never complied and never will with the next mRNA ones planned either and neitrher should anyone else. A little research will tell you a lot.
So what if you had two vulnerable oldies in your family? When I took food to my parents I wore a mask to help stop then getting something from me, it made me feel better. Certainly didn't spend my whole day wearing one.
