No I wasnt on about that, i was on about what would happen to the tax I'd be paying on a £30 tax Lupo IF any conversion occurred and gave a couple of common Lupo conversion scenarios of 1.8T and 4 pot TDI.
The point was if the £30 tax band was preserved or not. It isnt. So in my mind it is a shame to waste a £30 tax Lupo when there are plenty of other petrol donors about that I'd be happier with the resulting tax hike doing a conversion on.

Whatever route you take, just remember that the diesel engine will still need a catalytic convertor for the MoT emissions test  |

Unless that is a recent change mine is already minus a cat and MOT no problem.

has been a thing a few years, if it came from the factory with a cat they are meant to stay.
nothing to do with emissions test though as a diesel will still pass without.

That's it. Diesel test is for smoke opacity, and a visual check for the cat being there.
If it isn't, and you are unlucky enough to get a DVSA roadside check it's bound to get at least a finger wagging and the MOT tester flagged most likely
