Hi Peter

Picking up on your comments....

""So as for Eds question, now that you are aware that removing an anti pollution device is illegal and invalidates the drivers insurance (UNLESS YOU DRIVE IT OFF ROAD) are you still going to remove them on Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles?

I am sure VOSA, Motor Trade Associations and the Environment Agencies would be interested in your views on this open forum.

Don't you feel slightly hypocritical when you consider how many times you have modified & molested cars in the past?

Can anyone put their hand on their heart & state that they have never blanked off an EGR valve, or installed a GM software update, to "write out" the EGR function on a troublesome run of cars.

If GM / Vauxhall Opel can sneak a remap in under the radar, then what's the difference?

Ahh I get it TAX!

There are many valid arguments, where the true merits of the DPF technology are challenged. I suppose we shouldn't concern ourselves about the NET gains or losses of this technology & just concentrate on doing what we are told!

Yes, a vehicle running these technologies properly will have a reduced impact on the environment, especially in the short term. What happens at year five?

How many cars are going to wind their way to the scrap yard, because no one is clever enough to fix them legitimately? & for those who can fix them legitimately, how many customers will have the necessary funds?

Food for thought!
