electrical help needed

[richard1951]

just on a diferent subject sweet you know that you were going to blow £200 on that re-map ....you need to read the bit on MOT sight as if you have had one it will fail the test . dont know how they will know but it is in pipe line.
O and i think it is goose you smell lol

So my goose is cooked is it ?

Very well, I will take a look at the MOT site - in the meantime, if there are any MOT inspectors out there, or aquaintances thereof, who can throw some light on this I would be grateful for the help.

From what I have seen, nothing has been finally decided yet as to the meaning of the term ' illegal ' with reference to an ECU modification on *current production* cars - nor has a means of testing other than a 'visual' check been mooted.

The language seems vague to the point of obscurity.

My trump card ? - my car is NOT a * current production * vehicle.

For anyone with a remap, section 6.1.9 may be relevant.

6.1.9 Engine performance:
(a) Control unit illegal modified.
(b) Illegal engine modification.

(by 'illegal', it is assumed that they mean changed/programmed differently from OEM specifications)

So - current information suggests that they are no further forward with the ' illegal engine chipping ' thing than they were when that was written.
What exactly constitutes ' illegal ' in this context ?
No further clarity there. I suspect it will have more to do with emissions than enhanced performance.

It has been decided since the above was written that there will be NO change to the frequency of testing.

would not spend 200 on it till you know for sure

The big question I would like to have answered is :

Will all these changes be applied retrospectively ?
