Madmax Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Say i was to put a 1.8 in my current 1.6, would i have any problems taxing and MOTing it as a 1.6?? Surely the registration would still say its a 1.6?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob84 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 notify the DVLA so they can update the log book and then that will sort the tax situation out too. not sure on the MOT thing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 the emmissions still have to fall between the same lines therefore a 2.0 will still pass the MOT if the car is registered as a 1.6 with a 2.0 lump in. i was concerned about this but had a emissions text 2 days b4 the kent meet and it passed.......with flying colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
