Used car proposed emissions regulations
« on: 07 September 2026, 15:00 »
Just been reading the proposals and wondered if this will affect cars that have had ecu tuning and exhausts modified and more generally the car tuning industry? It looks as though used cars are expected to have the same emissions as when new with no account taken of wear and tear.

You’d hope common sense may prevail but considering the current government has an emperor’s new clothes approach to forcing folk away from ICE to electric, I suspect not.

They dont want you to have cars they cannot track, trace and control. They want you locked into 10 mon citys. All part of the 2030 agenda.
