in the old D3, no engine management light is turned on !!! until 2006, in the later models if it is turned on and has to be deactivated via software!!
...By the way, today I passed MOT with the D3 and no fault or negative warning! despite d carrying my led rear bulbs as usual! nothing has changed to my understanding with the new regulation! Only the format of the final result report, the procedure seems identical to me! lost in translation!

Doesn't it depend on MY, I believe from reading on the forum that 06 and earlier you can blank without bringing a warning light on but 07 and newer need an EGR patch?

New MOT
Re new mot
Reversing lamps lamps work, no problem, but reversing bleepers no not.
Under new mot rumor is if it’s fitted it should work, does that cover parking distance bleepers?Ex D3 TDV6 2.7 Nov 2004
Ex Freelander2
Ex D2 TD5

My 1993 90 passed the other day and if that can pass you should be ashamed if you cant get a D3 through
I did loads of prep wrk as well, one number plate bulb as old one dull, new bulb just as dull, sod it try anyway!
my '07 passed last week with no advisories - EGR's blanked and written out in software, before the test I did get hold of a pair of pipes and fitted them so as not to attract attention to the area (just left the blanks in between and the tops open without the stubs)Pete

I thought the MOT tester was not permitted to remove any covers...........or can the EGR removal evidence be spotted with the cover in place?
