Down rating is a paper work exercise at the local Vosa/DOT Mot testing station

2.4 litre :!: :wink:

And yes, you are correct, over 3.5 tonnes and you'll need to be Euro IV for PARTICULATES :!:
But Ford in their wisdom will sit there banging their Euro 3 drum (as they ignore the fact that you are probably Euro IV for particulates anyway :roll: )

But don't panic, we have a bit of time before Jan 2012 :!: It can still change before then :wink:

What about fitting windows both sides, rear windows, and a row of rear seats, then it is classed as a dual purpose vehicle?
