    vosa is now self funding. they usually don't actually know their own legal powers & rely on the publics ignorance to get fines.

    Dont need to tell the mot tester fella

    With all that said, the equipment need to test these sort of things will cost thousands, and they cant force garages to face the burden of buying these things, then it will all push on tho the motorists, which is gonna see the mot at 100+ notes. Is everyone gonna be happy with that, doubt. They been screaming about window tinting for years but again making garage by the additional equipment aint gonna happen, and still hasnt.

    stu, a good remap was mentioned, as opposed to some of the stuff that goes on.

    to be fair, a 100k mile engine with a fantastic remap will still chuck more out than a new std engine...

    Imo if 'chipped' ecu became an mot failure it would just end up like cats, people would simply refit and remove before and after each test
