Help Please! Need A "d6C" Engine Code Tag

[ablister 31]

The tester may not know about that. Not his fault as can be quite confusing and not something he'll deal with everyday but refer him to the pages linked above to show.

That's the loop hole I was thinking of, Quite handy really

at least you know he is giving you a real proper mot and not one that overlooks things. I had the same problem with my s13 a few years ago however got the tester to look at google at the common layout of components for the car and you could see the layout was different. he was happy with that.

Just want to say thanks to everyone that posted up replies here, some good advice, and it worked too!

 

The beastie got through its MOT under a non-cat test; the tester was happy after I showed him the "loopholes" mentioned here.

 

Well done, and I hope this advice helps out others in a similar spot.

 

Incidentally, the tester did mention that if I can get hold of that D6C badge then it makes the whole process a lot easier for other testers. As such, I will still happily donate the soul of my first born if anyone can supply me with one

If you can get the dimensions and a really clear square on picture, a friend of mine i think can make you one.

You sir are a diamond, I'll see what I can do and post up the results, however I don't obviously have the tag any more so I will literally be reduced to trawling around the internet looking for a decent picture. Of the tag!

 

Can anyone with the tag help out with a picture and dimensions at all? I guess it would be a good resource to have on the forum in case someone else has the same agro.

Is this any help? If you reduce it to 17.9% it will be the same size as original.

Or just get a letter from a garage stating what year the car is the engine is supplied from (ie they supplied or fitted engine, or they investigated and can advise engine is x date).

 

You any good in word?

 

 

I did the above for my last car and was readily excepted as they had reasonable proof of engine age.
