It's because they are 75w and not the legal 55w. So not for public road use
It’s because they are 75w rather than the standard 55w. Hopefully the wiring and lens will cope with the extra power/heat.
Edit: should have scrolled down first as already answered by Dundee_Kev!
Flying Scotsman here you are. This one is for the T6. I'm told the T6.1 has a different connector on the back of the stop start switch so you have to choose the one for your van. This seller does both.

I suspect that the answer is probably a 'no' but does anybody know for certain whether or not fitting one of these might cause an MOT failure? I'm probably overthinking it but I ask as, quite often, any emission (or safety!) related systems that come factory fitted need to be fully working for the test. Saying that, my Audi Q5 has OEM 'switchable' stop / start but that's how it came out of the factory and presumably how the model was type approved. I should add that I'm usually content to have the stop / start as is in the van but on the rare occasions when I'm stuck in slow traffic with frequent stops, it's a real pain in the aris.

How easy are these to fit? I’ve ordered one but can’t find a YouTube clip on how to access behind button. Is it just the surrounding fascia off?
Not an issue for the MOT
Have a look here and scroll down the page and I posted how to fit the stop start emulator.

Wow, really straightforward then!! Thank you
Has this worked without issues since you fitted? Really tempted to order one!
It’s worked faultlessly Gary.

So jealous of the wife having all the table I ordered another. But wanted it shorter to allow the heater to work with table down. Good excuse to buy that Router I've been promising myself. So cut,trimmed and finished it. Looks original and well happy with it. Also the handbrake lowering kit so I can swivel my seat. All in all a very productive day.

Gave the Van a service: oil, air, pollen and fuel (£60) with oil being the most expensive component (Castrol 8ltrs £100)
Slightly unconventional way of purging the new fuel filter with a 250ml syringe injection into the new filter and clingfilm over the pipes to minimise air into the system but it fired up first time.

Fitted some Gladen front speakers and tweeters today. Sound epic, just got to buy some new door card clips. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve got a couple of these cup holders they’re great. I fitted one on the pillar where the passenger seat is so when it’s turned around i have somewhere for my beer bottle.
Perfect
