Default MOT Fail - Emissions - Probably Cats

Hi There,

4.2 V8 Petrol ~162,000M


Just had an MOT.....Failed Emissions on CO on Idle, 2nd fast Idle, Fast idle and HC/Lamda on the fast Idle.

The Co points to the cats. I've had the Check Engine lights on for quite a while on both banks which I thought was odd (16814 & 16804)....I did try a few cleaners when I got the car, but since it's passed the two years previous MOTs I haven't been worried.

I've got some toluene so I may give that a go and see if it gets better, but I'm guessing it's a pair of new cats ???




Any help, pointers etc

Lee
