as title
the TEST tomorrow
Ive checked everything I can think of and cant find any issues
but I'm kinda concerned about the emissions....again
lambda shows 1.01 at idle - so not much more I can do really

hey ho

fingers crossed and a sleepless night

Good luck!

Mine flew through the other day, failled on the first attempt on the emmisions (co2 high), good rev by the tester after my consent (burble -pop - bang - burble - pop - pop) and it was fine!

Down to the CAT not being hot enough according to the tester.......

Mine failed on headlamp alignments, my white LED lights being too blue and my number plate having letters that where about 5 mm too short(after it passed last year). So I replaced the lights with yellow filament bulbs and fitted a new number plate. They did the alignment for me at no cost.

Emissions where my only worry as my lambda is on it's last legs and the CEL came on with the lambda fault code as I drove away

scoobian

failed

corroded rear disc
blue headlights
theres a hole in the sill where its been jacked (just priced a £30 weld repair ...so not too bad)
!
and emissions - curiously tho, the lambda recording was 0.8 yet the LM-1 meter in the car at the mo, shows 1.0 .....now THATS annoying! ...does that mean all my mapping is out if the LM-1 is incorrect?
the LM-1 is calibrated according to the manual, and fitted in the headers just before the uppipe

what is the MOT spec for the lambda test?

was meaning to look this up

scoobian

0.970 to 1.030

StickyMicky

is this just at idle?

to be honest mine has not been emission tested for the past 7 years lol

do they not take a few readings at various rpms?

scoobian

theres 550 - 850rpm and 2450 - 3050rpm
it was way out on each (though curiously again, it gave 0.917 lambda on one of the fast idles and 0.8567 on the other! (13.3 and 12.5 AFR resp.) ...should have been the same according to the mapping!

they do idle and then fast idle i believe 2000rpm & 4000rpm i think

StickyMicky

i might make a special "MOT only map"

scoobian

I did .......didnt help any

scoobian

PASSED!!!
new discs and pads
new headlight bulbs
welded sill
and remapped at 2400 - 3000rpm and actuially PASSED the emissions!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!

should hope so with all that expense

scoobian

Sounds like a great deal. Last time I had corroded discs it came as an advisory so they must have been bad
