Suzuki Vitara Rossini

[ScottieJ]

I know the 92 Sport model had a cat and O2 sensor, it had an electronically controlled carb.

The engine in my SJ is out of my old 93 sport and had a normal carb good old Suzuki eh!

Was tidy Vit, probably shouldn't have cut it up

The 92 had a standard carb too - once the electronic one started playing up, the cat went too when the Calmini exhaust was fitted.

Oh and it doesn't need to need CAT emissions limits either, here's the relevant info from http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/E ... dition.pdf

Passenger cars (1) first used on or after 1 August 1992 and mentioned in the Annex to this publication.
All passenger cars first used on or after 1 August 1995.(2)
Other vehicles, such as large passenger cars and light goods vehicles (3), first used on or after 1 August 1994 and mentioned in the Annex to this publication.
For all petrol engined vehicles first used before 1 August 1992, all gas engined vehicles and vehicles other than passenger cars first used before 1 August 1994 the test procedure consists of a metered check at the normal idle speed, the so-called `non-catalyst‟ test.
Some passenger cars first used during the “transition” period (i.e. 1 August 1992 to 1 August 1995) and some light goods vehicles and large passenger cars first used on or after 1 August 1994 were not required to be manufactured to the EC standards requiring advanced emissions control systems to be fitted. For these vehicles the non-catalyst test will be applied. Owners of vehicles which were first used during this transition period, are advised to check the entries in the Annex to this booklet or contact the vehicle manufacturer.


The emissions limits to be met are specified for both the fast and normal idle tests. At fast idle, CO must be at or less than 0.2%, HC at or less than 200 parts per million (ppm), and the lambda value(1) must be between 0.97 and 1.03. At normal idle, CO must be at or less than 0.3%.
Where these limits are not met, a check will be made to identify vehicles (e.g. those without a catalyst) which should only be required to meet the non-catalyst emissions check requirements. If the vehicle does not fall into this category then the analyser will automatically schedule an extended emissions test using the values quoted in Table 1 or Table 2 and the listings in the Annex in this booklet.

Suzuki never supplied emission figures

From 1/8/92 and before 1/8/95 but are not included in the Annex (suzuki's aren't included in the annex)
3.5% vol limit on (CO) Carbon Monoxide
0.12% vol (1200ppm) limit on (HC)3 Hydrocarbon
No specific requirement but engine must not be clearly above its normal idling speed.
No requirement for raised engine speed emissions test.

I suggest you tell your MOT tester to properly read his MOT manual

Electronic carb

That sounds like a conflict of interest. You've got the downsides of both systems with the good points of neither.

I seem to remember Rossini's being all pink....could that have something to do with it?





(sorry )
