for some reason its letting out too much CO gas at idle, its meant to be about 0.5 of whatever, but its 4.9, nearly ten times the amount it should be releasing! the garage said its very rare, because when its at high revs its fine! very good infact, just when its idle it fucks up 
he said it might be this pipe... £65 (but it might not be) said if that dont work i might need a new CAT (£200) but again, that _might_ not be the problem, so i might be wasting £265!
i dunno what to do, concidering us modders dont give a fcuk about emissions and usually get rid of the CAT anyway i was thiking i might just get my mates uncle to pass it 
but i dunno cause im selling it to my mum and she dont really approve! what would you do?
