It has to have the correct approved type Catalytic convertor also so emissions should be fine. I haven't pushed it yet as haven't registered the engine change yet with DVLA.

 

You can get an appropriate DPF fitted to any non-compliant vehicle and a VOSA inspection will see you allowed to drive into the LEZ.

It's all down to soots isn't it...? So if your diesel engine meets the emissions standards after whatever date it is you're OK. If this can be achieved with a replacement engine and that can be proved in a VOSA inspection I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Paperwork will need to be changed though, remember LEZ fines are automated through ANPR!

DPF =Diesel Particulate Filter?

DPF =Diesel Particulate Filter?

 

Yup... catches the soots, gets superhot and incinerates them every now and again... that's all it is... Idea is to reduce the black smoke all round the city from dirty old diesel trucks... DPF is the tool they came up with although they do have serious shortcomings...

Thought about a Disco 2 Commercial...? You'd lose the open pick up bed but gain better security, useful loadspace, spacious crew quarters [could easily install the proper second row seats for full 5 seater capacity] good towing & off road ability and a lovely drive on the road...

Would have to be careful if you did this as your insurance company would not be happy as the Commercial was only ever officially produced by Land Rover as a two seater and I think HMRC would be interested. i am sure someone told me recently you can make a passenger vehicle in to a commercial but not the other way round.
