    Uh huh. However that wasnt my point - we were talking about the smoke test.

    And anyone with half a brain wont have removed the DPF (box), they've have taken it off, cut it open on the top, gutted it, welded it back up and refitted it. Then code out the DPF errors from the ECU.

    Practically undetectable.


    All they need is a test kit that picks up if the DPF isn't there due to exhaust output and problem solved. Whether such thing exists, who knows but there is still the black market of criminals and criminal drivers intentionally harming other people's health who deserve jail time.

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Third Anniversary
    just an update - car went for MOT, no issues at all (apart from a peeling indicator light bulb as an advisory)

    thanks all for comments and better understanding of the new tests - good to see different point of views
