Government threatening to make mods illegal

[TheMonkey27]

That is the current legal state, however it isn’t captured in these proposed changes.

Some clarification?

DfT look to clear up confusion around anti-tampering laws

[National_Treasure]

Isn’t that what I said?

@National_Treasure

As I read it any modification to the inlet, fuel or exhaust systems that increases emissions above the factory standard specification would become illegal. So the likes of fettling with less restrictive air filters/air boxes, less restrictive exhaust systems, re-routing crankcase breathers or removing baffles, catalytic convertors, exhaust gas control valves etc would become a no no.

Don’t panic! The MAG claim that this is an attack on the freedom to do what you wish with your own property is utter nonsense. I have made more than 15 modifications to The 250, none of them affect the emissions, none of them will become illegal, none of them are in breach of the MOT test regulations.
