I don't think they care where the engine has come from, just what its size is, but their solution to the problem doesn't work for people like us. Totally agree with that - one size fits all. On 20th Jan, 2011 apbellamy said:

The DVLA are just trying to make it difficult to modify cars. From 2012, it will be illegal to modify any car registered from that point onwards. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

I think modifications on cars registered from that point onwards will require the parts to be tested thoroughly to set regulations dependant on what the part is.But yes it does seem to be heading towards a massive cut down on what you can do,especially what you can do yourself.

The DVLA have actually said that it will be illegal to modify vehicles registered from 2012 onwards. I'm guessing only factory 'options' will be allowed. Edited by Coupe on 6th Sep, 2009.

The problem is, the DVLA can claim that they are doing it for the safety of other road users, as there is no guarantee that the modifications have been done to an acceptable standard. However, this can also be said about the work of many garages and mechanics so I don't know how they will be able to police it. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

So instead of banning mod's, what they should be doing is setting up a competant government agency to inspect and certify modifications

Load of old Bollox. When the masses fit cheap dung tyres to their car they are modifying it. WIll they stop them ? Dont think so. As its unlikely I'd be buying a new car anyway...the 2012 thing wont affect me for a very long time. And even then, I'll do whatever the fuck I like to my car. TBH, nothing gives them the right to dictate what we can do with our cars. We pay enough to them simply for owning the damn things !!!

You think thats bad. here You want to go to Germany and see what their Police think about parts fitted without a CE TUV stamp.... and thats been in place a while. On top of that they have city emmission zones where you cant take old cars. |

We didn't actually take it into the LEV zone though. We were just outside. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Peeps read between the lines. The ideots in white hall are doing there outright best to to make all laws and regulations in England comparable to those in main Euopean states. Quite soon you will only be able to fit manufacturer approved wheels to your car! Own the day

I dont get how this will affect people boring out there engines and that because the block is still a 1275 block, so shurly as long as you update the insurance you are not braking any rules? Gaball said:

So basicly find a nice local garage and get them to say they did everything so you can make the DVLA happy and you can mod away silly still.
