dandydons I always had the same problem with starlet running a decat until I found out that imports did not get standard emissions test since there was not a uk equivalent.. Was very happy to point that out to my local MOT guy.I could be wrong, but I think the rule is specifically about import engines that are over a certain number of years old, rather than about imports that don't have a UK equivalent.

Yes you are right mate - there is an age related aspect as well - mine was 1993 import so all was good. Think cut off date was about March 95 but not 100% on that.

Car manufacturers producing 'flex-fuel' models
Saab (its whole range of new vehicles) and Ford (Focus Flex-Fuel) manufacture cars which are suitable to run on bioethanol E85. Others, including Citroen, Volvo and Renault are also introducing flex-fuel vehicles. The fuel systems of these vehicles are treated to resist the corrosive effects of bioethanol and the electronic control units (ECU) of the engine management system is re-programmed to take advantage of the higher octane rating of bioethanol. You can't use bioethanol E85 in a car with a fuel system designed for existing petrol engines.

dandydons Yes you are right mate - there is an age related aspect as well - mine was 1993 import so all was good. Think cut off date was about March 95 but not 100% on that.
Nope
All cars in the UK prior to the end of 1992 have really lax emissions targets (1200ppm Hydrocarbons and 3.5% CO2). Cars sold prior to 1995 which do not feature in the MOT tester's emissions handbook (basically means a chassis + engine combination never sold in the UK) have to meet the old pre-1992 targets. It is a right pain in the **** trying to explain this to MOT testers as my car falls into this category (1994 reg, that engine never sold in that chassis in this country).As per this page of the MOT tester's handbook:
![[Image: mot-cat.gif]](http://www.btinternet.com/~netsurf/mr2t/images/mot-cat.gif)
As you can see the pre '92 targets are incredibly high and your car would have to be really poorly not to meet them, even with no CAT. Doesn't apply to the OP though!

There's a version of it you can run though, think it's called E5?
