I've joined the mot emissions failure club

CO and lambda fail

fast idle CO (max allowed 0.3%)
2.01% first run
1.41% second run

fast idle lambda (must be between 0.970 and 1.030)
0.940 first run
0.959 second run

My first lambda sensor is returning a good range of values so I don't think it's that... I replaced it not so long ago.
the second o2 sensor is returning about 0.8V pretty constantly, what are your's like?

I think it may be the actual cat because of the problems I had earlier in the year (I think my engine was running lean)

Gutted mate, i hope mine passes next month with the new 200 cell on.

Mines up and i havent had a look at what needs doing yet.
Same 200 cell as yours Jamee

Mne will pass on everything, but the emissions, as no rust, lights are ok, brakes and tyres are fine (well one is dodgy on the inside, but Daz said it should pass), so fingers crossed.

It passed

I think I do have fueling problems though, as it took a few tries, but eventually ended up looking like perfect readings (0.02%, 4ppm, 0.999)

£5 to have the emissions tester technician try for about 20 mins to get a good set of readings aint bad 🙂

No neil, i dont use Daz, my mate has his own gagrage just around the corner from Daz's mams. Anyway, my car wont get in Daz's grounds, never mind the gagrage.
