P38A [P38] MOT Fail - Emissions

[kermit_rr]

I thought removing the cats was illegal?

That's why you empty them and put them back.. I've never done it though

 

[MrGorsky]

But if a man had emptied his CATs of the ceramic honeycombe stuff, say with a long pokey stick, and then just put them back, you're saying a 1997 GEMS 4.6 should be able to pass an MOT emissions test if all the other parts of the engine are in good order?

That's what you're saying @kermit_rr ?

 

[MrGorsky]

Is this the right set of cats for a 1999 Thor?:

If you email them they'll tell you. They're very helpful with me.

Don't know about gems, probably yes. Thor almost certainly yes

i have a 4.6lt thor which failed on emissions, apparently you have to drive a t least 46 miles for it to recalibrate if the battery’s been off, bit difficult when it has no mot tax or insurance

You can't drive to mot without insurance

Can't you get insurance? Why do you want an mot? I'm confused

Possibly true for some cars, no idea. It's not true for the p38 Thor

i have insurance on 4 different cars, wasnt going to insure p38 till it had mot

You can get 24 hour insurance.
