When Does New MOT For Diesels Start?

[ReganAndCarter]

I believe that they're bringing in a tougher MOT emissions test for diesels soon. Does anyone know when and what it entails? I have an old shape 2004 Fiat Scudo 2.0 JTD van and was wondering if it will be affected.

Thanks for any info and advice.

Does nobody ever use Google or any other search engines any more? Or are you all too busy tearing each other to shreds to be bothered?

Smoke meter pass/fail levels are not changing for your age of vehicle.

I'm guessing 2.5 V6 manual with those spotlights?

Surely a 3.0?

Consider myself torn to shreds. The irony of that last sentence.

Thanks for the link.

Was there ever a better tv programme made? Certainly no better tv cop show.

And as for 2.5, good God - no! If my memory serves me, the 2.5 was the later shape oil burner. Can't imagine the Flying Squad clattering around in something with a Perkins tractor engine. The only smoke to be seen was definitely from the tyres The early Sweeney 'Grannies' were actually badged as Consuls. After a couple of years of production, the MK1 shape was re-badged as Granada.

Motman is correct, it would have been a 3.0 GT. In later series, they swapped their Roman Bronze Consul for a silver Mk2 Granny. The original car, NHK 295M still exists and has been restored. Interestingly, they also had a stunt double Consul in the series, and this still survives too.

Thanks to all for the help on my original question.

There was a 2.5 version of the Essex V6. Just a short stroke crankshaft , same block. Used in the Mk 4 Zephyr V6 and the susbsequent Consul. Not sure if it was an option in the Granada.

Thanks. And apologies to Mursal. I sit corrected.
