Mark,

Will you consider just taking your Zetec/Bostig van into the test station
when
registration time comes around, and mentioning nothing about the conversion?
Or, do they need to look into the engine bay for some reason to do this
procedure where you are?

I ask because I'm wondering if other places are similar to UT in that they
just "plug 'n play" their test devices, never questioning or looking at the
motor while doing emissions tests.
