Hi ,I took my weekend in for a french mot,He said it failed for having english head lights and on CO readings.I can solve the lights,but any help appreciated on pollution.Peter
 
Sorry that was a bit daft of me.It's a 2litre 20 valve rocket ship 1997.Peter
 
Mine would not pass on a "MOT station". That is why I always go to garage after driving at second/third gear whole time, and then they rev it for another five minutes before it passes :p
Should change the lambda someday...(I know its the fault on mine as it runs little rich).
 
Possibles; Either cat, lamda sensor or another sensor is in trouble, or the wiring to them. Have you had it on a diagnostic reader to see what fault codes are logged? This could save a lot of money wasted on swapping out parts that are working fine. does the engine temp gauge read OK?
Im not sure the marea relies on the one that you can see as mine sometimes flies up to hot and then back down to normal due to a poor connection somewhere without the engine missing a beat.
 
Thank you ,I'll take it and have the codes read,and as I think of it the temperature stays low even here in 38 degrees.Peter

This is good advice, especially about the instruments being separate to the actual ECU readings. I once blew the fuse to the instrument display and everything went to 0 as I was driving along!

p.s. Renegade, great sig! Just needs a pic of the front next to it with the words "the thirsty end".
 
Hi,I'm having some success with the complete head light replacement,but I've notice that now the separate side light is working that I need to change the glass.It's in the bumper any help gladly received.Peter
 
I've got this wrong.The side lights are part of the main headlight cluster,What could be the prob.Peter
