anywhere? also ime running a rover t series turbo engine, which had a cat (which i dont want and is not fitted at mo) is there any way i could maybe

You need a certificate from Rover proving the engine age is pre 95 to get away without a cat.. Thats all ny impossible now.
Without engine age proof SVA use the current emmisions standards....
Check the DVLA website for the guideHERE!

PS. as I also have a T16 lurking in the garage I'd be interested in your build. Planning a blog??

best to go with cat for SVA i think. and if you et a Q plate, i'm sure future MOTs are only done on a visible smoke test, so i guess the cat
could mysteriously disappear

read these
link one
link two
So to me that reads
chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points
axles = 2 points
steering assembly = 2 points
total nine points and you only need eight to keep the number! but it will depend on how you read new chassis (direct replacment)????

That is not the correct system for registering a kit car. That is for 'radically altered vehicles' where it works on a points scheme. Our
builds are registered as 'kit conversions' which require two major items from a list to retain donor registration year on the plate.
It's academic anyway really, the main issue is whether you'll need a cat for the test, and if you can't prove the engine is pre-95
then you will need one. As said above, once registered with a Q-plate emissions test at MOT is visible smoke only.

then whats the list if it is still
Scoring components
The following values will be allocated to the major components used:
* chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points
* suspension = 2 points
* axles = 2 points
* transmission = 2 points
* steering assembly = 2 points
* engine = 1 point
then if you can't claim the 5 points for a new chassis all the seven type cars (except robin hoods) would fail to get 8 points ! thats not what
happens , so how does the list work?

Most SVA testers will accept an alternative source e.g. haynes manual, Burton Power catalogue etc etc....
