Campervan - LeftHandDrive - Exhaust Question

Conology

Hi
My Campervan (Fiat Ducato - Left Hand Drive) needs a new exhaust.

The present outlet pipe is at the Left Hand Side.

I have taken it to a few people, who say that the present one may be a modified Exhaust and that outlet pipe of Fiat Ducato Exhausts are at the Right Hand Side.

I am wondering.

If I go ahead and change the Outlet pipe from the LEFT side - to the Right side will it affect
a) any future MOT/NCT tests that will be carried out &
b) are there any European regulations relating to the side which the Exhaust pipe should come from - in case I go for holidays in France/Continent.

In addition the Fridge and Cooker are on the RIGHT side - close enough to the Fridge Grill/Vent.

Any advice please?

I bought mine from here, full system at a great price. I had difficulty getting a system for a LHD here, they wanted to switch it the other side and the cost was 4 or 5 times more.
It was delivered from Germany by courier for about 30 euro in a few days.

Hi Corkbuoy.
Thanks for the info, - that website is in German only unfortunately.
I'm more concerned with trying to get answers to the original questions first before I go looking at arranging special import of the parts -
thanks very much for your help though.

Hello
I Had some issues with my LHD Fiat exhaust recently... hope i can help..i thought i would have to replace my exhaust (which travels down RHS then across underneath to LHS ) but repaired it part after silencer worked its way loose wearing down rubber hangers etc. ..the exhaust system is a number of seperate parts, is the whole lot damaged or just part of it ?

The exit position of the exhaust is not relevant for the CRW test, what is relevant though is what come out of it

There are many LHD vehicles with the pipe on the LH side, they can also go straight out the back or up into the air.

What will fail is LHD headlights if the dip beam is not properly altered to RHD with the correct Beam Benders
