The forerunner to the Mini , the Morris Minor 1000, produces half the carbon emissions as the modern Mini in it's lifetime .

I never thought of that . !Is that because the Morris Minor’s life span was only half that of the modern Mini?
:redcardWell they were only Minor emissions
eeeeeeyy. Thankkkkkk. Yowwwwwwwwwww
It was on Youtube so it must be true ! Theres a company that specializes in them .How do you know??
I would take some convincing.
How can an old, naturally aspirated engine, capable of perhaps 35 to 40 mpg, and fitted with no exhaust emission control equipment possibly be "cleaner" than a modern electronically controlled engine of similar size and offering greater mileage?
If it is true our motor industry must be going down the wrong path with all the expense and complexity we now have.
Yes they do. That's why I have one as an "easy to own" classic car. (you never know I could be persuaded to sell if if pushed)I would have thought that a series 1, 2 or 3 Landrover would score extremely well against the new "version" - longevity, ease of maintenance, readily available spare parts, good for home maintenance
Speaking of Landrovers, I had an interesting problem with mine, it's a Freelander 1 facelift with a TD4 engine in it. It ran ok when I bought it just under two years ago however when servicing it I noticed the MAF sensor was disconnected. I plugged it back in and it ran really rough, if it was a petrol you'd say it was running on two cylinders! Above 2500 rpm though it was fine, I replaced the MAF, no change, I read the codes, there were none, I spent almost a year trying to work out what it was, plenty of people had the problem, but nobody had managed to fix it, it was a mystery.I would have thought that a series 1, 2 or 3 Landrover would score extremely well against the new "version" - longevity, ease of maintenance, readily available spare parts, good for home maintenance
That is exactly what a local expert, (known as Diesel Dave) did to my little Ford van! I was concerned it would affect the emissions test at next MoT, but he assured me it would be OK, and it was.I blanked off the vacuum pipe,
Most people do away with them to be honest, but since the diesel engine isn't subjected to the 'sniffer' test like a petrol is, they only look for heavy smoke on a diesel, you can get away with it. However if you don't have an EGR fitted and one was fitted at manufacture, then it will fail the test, so the trick, as both you and I know, is to block the vacuum pipe. to all intents and purposes, the EGR is still there, they don't know it isn't working.That is exactly what a local expert, (known as Diesel Dave) did to my little Ford van! I was concerned it would affect the emissions test at next MoT, but he assured me it would be OK, and it was.
And the added bonus of there only being about a dozen moving parts on the whole vehicleI would have thought that a series 1, 2 or 3 Landrover would score extremely well against the new "version" - longevity, ease of maintenance, readily available spare parts, good for home maintenance
