    Going to Re-post this here modded forum is fairly quiet

    Anyone know where i can get a certified Emissions test in the uk?

    service centre? MOT? any other specialized centres?


    I want to bring in an 86-90 Ford Escort RS Turbo S2 ( white of course) pretty soon considering the exchange rates

    ROS online was no help so I rang yesterday but the girl i was dealing was younger then me (19- found out thru sweet talking/attempt to get best price) she didn't really know how I could definitely prove emissions when it comes to calculating VRT

    The good thing is at the very most I'll only pay around €700 - but its being charged at the highest rate and I don't want to get stuck with ridiculous road tax

    Anyone have any experience in this - not just guessing?

    You won't the car will be taxed as a 1.6 under the old system.

    cool! - hope your right

    I don't think a fully modded 20+ year old car would be the most eco friendly thing to import

    And I don't want to see myself paying band F road tax
