Important News: Combined DPF & Cat Units
8th March 2010 - Helen Lumley

Since the introduction of the type approval legislation we have not sold Cat and DPF combined units. We were confident that as the unit had a cat element the unit could and should be approved to adhere to the spirit and letter of the law. The VCA have now confirmed that the legislation does apply to Cat and DPF combined units, therefore type approval is required on these parts.

We are in the process of obtaining type approval for these parts and hope to have legally saleable parts available within the next 6 months. In the mean time we urge you to be cautious when purchasing Cat and DPF combined units from any other suppliers as the VCA do have the potential to fine you up to £5,000 per unit sold if these do not have type approval.

UK 103R Legislation Now In Force For Everyone
13th November 2009 - Helen Lumley

As of today, the 103R legislation for catalytic converters is in force at all levels in the UK aftermarket. It is essential that all UK distributors do not offer for sale any non approved stock for vehicles first registered on or after 1/3/01. The VCA will begin enforcing the legislation at all levels with immediate effect. Their role is to ensure that non approved catalysts are not sold or fitted to Y reg vehicles onwards. It is an offence to do so and the VCA do have the powers to fine offenders up to £5,000, although they do stress that this is a last resort.

If you are still unsure which parts are affected by the legislation, please contact a member of our Marketing department or your Regional Sales Manager.
