tspar Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Anyone got any worries that the tighter rules and regs from the 20th May this year may affect their modified cars? Quote

Stutopia Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Stinks that they are using this to crackdown on the very diesels they couldn't advocate strongly enough only a few years ago. I'd be pretty TO'd if I'd snapped one up due to the breaks, only to find the goals being moved retrospectively. Quote
Jetpilot Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Is it really any different to fitting sports cats/de cats which is common practice on here? Quote
coyoteboy Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Nothing really worrying there is there, I mean the worst one is if you get a dangerous fail your remaining MOT time is invalid, meaning you can only move the vehicle between one place of repair and back for test IIRC? Quote
davey_83 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Is that not been the case since it went online? Ie once it fails you have no valid mot time remaining...... Edited April 12, 2018 by davey_83 Quote
Jay84 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) A bit of a grey area as technically you're driving with known faults or defects, but the mot checker system only shows the expiry date. MOT history shows most recent test though. The problem with having a rigid can't drive if it fails rule, it's dodgy garages can hold a customer's car hostage forcing them to have work... hence the updated movement rule. As you probably know from your job though Davey, I'm not allowed to return a fleet car if it fails, which can be annoying if I don't have the tyre contract, it means Kwik fit have to fit a tyre on my forecourt and that can take a day or 2.

davey_83 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Yes pal very annoying and if a tyre/s has failed the MOT from wear, the driver cant really jump up and down as we do state its the driver responsibility to check tyres semi regular basis LOL We do ask that a garage call KF fleet to seek an authority, to which the garage can bill us via 1 link for x tyre/s using a kf p/o number.
