Under the RTA guidelines for light vehicle mods you need an engineers certificate as it is not classed as a "owner certified modification". Even a 7MGTE (technically) needs a certificate as the power increase over standard is greater then 15%. I'm very suprised the blue slip guy did it. Most are very cautious these days as many of those guys have lost their licenses from doing questionable approvals. Still, if it's done now you saved yourself the cost of a certificate. Probably the only time you may come unstuck is if the cops do a check and ask for the certificate. They won't care the engine number has been changed and would probably defect you anyway. The experience of KE38 just goes to show you shouldn't take anything the RTA says is gospel. I once got into an heated discussion with one of the guys from RTA technical branch about retaining the convex mirrors on an mercedes import. He initally said 'no-way - must be a flat mirror' until I rang back and quoted the ADR clause number that allowed it. He didn't even know the ADR had been changed (several years ago I might add) to allow convex mirrors to be used! [Report message to a moderator]
