    New MOT test rules....

    ...are coming into force soon I've just read on the Beeb web.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44167243

    One particular element does seem very harsh "A diesel vehicle will fail its MOT if there is smoke of any colour coming from the exhaust"

    Surely this will knock every black cab into oblivion and a mighty number of other vehicles too ?

    My car has a Euro 6 diesel engine so no issue there but my bread and butter works Berlingo van, not so, and even with extremely regular (5000 mile) servicing and replacement of oil, fuel and air filters, it still lets out a touch of dark smoke on hard acceleration......

    Might have to join the 'leccy van brigade (although I don't necessarily want to just yet)...

    Opinions sought ?
