So, the 182 just failed its MOT on emissions
Im bloody anoyed as in the last month i have replaced engine mounts, aux belt, brake servo died, new brake hoses and ive got the wrong alternator in it!
And now this. It could either be the lambda or the cat. Which one it is i have no idea and neither does anywhere else!
The only way i could tell i guess would be to try each. Im wanting a decat anyway so theres no way im buying a new cat for £300 or whatever they are!
Anyone know where to get a dody MOT in the north west?
Just thought i would share my sadness with you all

Ended up just giving it a damm good hiding for about 10 mins and then oput it through

Service is a good shout, always blast cars before mots as it gets the cat stonking hot
Cant you unplug the lambda sensor and see if the readings get worse, if they dont get worse then its your lambda surely

You will probably need a small child to access the oil filter, great fun doing anything on a 182, fucking used to hate doing timing on them.
