do you have such a system/franchise there?
Ed China (Wheeler Dealers) used it on one of his progs.
Looked it up - People say positive things about it.. can really help emissions... Thanks!

Just for a follow up as well just incase anyone reads this who are having similar issues. Lambda out can either be a leak in exhaust or the sensors. Basically the leak acts as a venturey much like a carb and sucks air in throwing off the lambda reading.
HC ( hydrocarbons ) is a very rare failure i might see 2 a year. Theyre genrally oil burners in the early stage that arent emmiting enough smoke for me to not do the emmisions. I hope this helps as i havnt actually helped anyone on here for a while
But doesnt a broken CAT also go hand in hand with a very juicy motor??

I wasted money trying everything to pass it, lambda, sparks, throttlebody (had a spare lying round), cat etc.... List goes on and still wouldn't pass, IIRC it was 2nd fast idle each time so gave up and got rid of it, i'm still gutted as it was a brilliant car, no rust in the rear wheel arch (or anywhere for that matter) and passed on everything else
This was my experience so unfortunately I'm not much help, hope you can get yours to pass [emoji106]
Thats sooooooo depressing.... did you try terracleaning it???
