Boris will inevitably oversee a softer Brexit than May. Last minute 26 member states will miraculously put pressure on the idiot Irish PM to wind his neck in and job done exactly the same withdrawal agreement without Irish backstop will be hailed triumph. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. So glad i don't live there any more watching old colleagues from the City who are now working in govt in top positions making a complete hash of it and they're only there because of Daddy. If you'd worked with them you'd know how very average and humdrum they are.

If the French and Germans don't do the above its the end of their pet European project. If hard Brexit. Italy will follow like sheep. Then Austria, Hungary, Netherlands etc etc. It should only ever have been a free trade and free borders between the top six states/economies in Europe. To include bit players a joke. They should have just been given associate membership so free trade fine but no free movement of people smile
Now that is a lot of sense..... You must be new here (I'm a long time lurker, 1st reply in a long time!)
So sad as its hardly rocket science but if you ever have the misfortune to meet these numpties you'll soon realise they couldn't do deal if it came and bit them on their behinds. Just free loaders. The most average people I worked with in the City all Oxbridge and our political parties and Civil Service full of the feckers. Unfortunately our two party system and omnipotent party machines make it impossible for other political parties to make an impact. I'm living overseas and have all my savings in Sterling. Not fun at the mo.

For the not unreasonable sum of $12,000... and you also receive a bump to 425hp.

Not an expert but my take was:

A person using (or causing or permitting to be used) a vehicle on the public road, which does not comply with the emissions standards it was designed to meet, is committing an offence.

For example, where a tuner is putting a sports catalyst on the vehicle and replacing the OEM. It should still pass if the garage measures CO2, NOX etc.

As long as it meets the emissions standards from the factory (through whatever means), it'll pass. But removing the particulate filter would mean it would fail.
what if you retained the filter using a high pass bypass, activated either by pressure or solenoid at a certain rpm? What rpm does the mot test hit?
