HI people...
Car failed its MOT 2 days ago coz the emmission were through the roof !!!
Anyone know what I can do to reduce them...
I tried the following...New exhaust system, new cat, new labmda sensor, new oil, oil filter, fuel filter, steam cleaned engine, new air filter, emmission reducer stuff in petrol tank, and nothing has even made it budge !!!!!

lol @ putting them in.
You changed all of that to try and lower your emmisions?
You could try changing the coolent temp sensor and check the cam timing if everything electrical is ok.

Im confused, you have enough knowledge to "put in" a v8 in a corsa but cant work out why your emissions are high
