ROFL! Complete with a choice of tank when I was last there. We bought
Aragorn the Lightweight from them. Nice people.

Care to unpack that comment a little? When I had the last RR (3.9) I went
into this to see if I could junk the cats and still pass the MoT. I sold
the car before I checked it out thoroughly, but the manual certainly seems
to suggest that the emissions limits apply to passenger cars, defined as "up
to 2500Kg", and the GVW of the Rangie was 2510Kg according to the handbook.
A lot of this is down to the interpretation of the tester, and most seemed
to get as far as "K-reg and onwards, cat test needed" and wouldn't discuss
it further. I'd still like to find a *definite* answer - if you have one,
please share it.

I got me big trailer there. "Bring a trailer board with you" quoth the man
on the phone, "'cos it's got military lighting setup, and you'll not be able
to plug the lights in unless you rewire it."

so I bought tailer board, with 7m of wire, the longest one i could get.
twas about 2m short. Up the road to car park of services, crawl underneath
and wire part of the wire, with plug, into the junction box under the
trailer, having worked out which wire goes where. One day, I'll fit a 12S
and then I can get all the extras like the convoy lights and the 12V outlet
at the back of the trailer working again.

I have just read somewhere that vehicles with a gross vehicle weight in
excess of 2500kg are exempt from the emissions test. Is this correct.

Sounds like the LPG system needs some adjusting, theres no need to run
CAT's if your running on LPG.

The vehicle was tested on petrol and LPG..... Petrol was significantly worse
at CO: 8.18%

Funny you mention that.... I changed the complete air box and filter the
other day because it had cracked due to a misfire about six months ago. But
surely i would have noticed a decrease in power if a heavy breathing 4.6
wasn't getting enough air????

Some classic vehicles are exempt from the MOT altogether but I have no idea
which. Tanks maybe ?
