My MPG is far better than before and I have no faults being logged on T4 and as said have just passed MOT.
As to the Green issue, if I wish to put two fingers up to it so be it,
and frankly I don't give a dam.
In the US which I am in more than out, you would be so surprised at Modifications etc carried out.
Older vehicles can choke you to death following them with the black NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- coming out.
People over there regardless don't give a Dam about Green Issues where I go and will continue to run Air con everywhere 24 Hours a day even when not in, all the lights and flood-lights left on, cars that drink Fuel quicker than you can fill up over here.
They almost riot when it hits £1.23 per Gallon!
The US only Tax fuel at 39 Cents per Gallon!
So like a large Majority of people,
I buy the Things,
I use the Things
I will do what I want with anything within the Law of that Country.
And that is that.


PLEASE NOTE THIS IS IMHO AND DOES NOT REFLECT ANY VIEWS OF THE CLUB

Absolutely Sir!!!!!

In a world living with Genocide, child labour, industrial pollution and flagrant breaches of international human rights treaties, it is frankly laughable that people have the temerity to be personally offended at my use of an EGR replacement pipe. And for the record, my car is noticeably better on fuel and has far less smoke with the EGR replacement fitted. Less fuel used and less particulate matter produced. It may be robbing Peter to pay Paul as far as the Green lobby are concerned but the fact that it still produces far less greenhouse gasses than even the smallest petrol engined 75 can only be a good thing.
