Mot Failure, emissions issue?
Discussion
My S2000 failed her mot today with a nice list of failures 
Mostly Emissions , plus the chassis next to seatbelt mount has rusted through!
With the emissions I'm told both the Co and Lambda are way out.
Ive just fitted a brand new Cat ( had a decat), however there is a slight leak between the headers and cat, as i forgot to fit the gasket. Would this cause an emissions issue?
Also to get the lambda out of the decat pipe i had to heat the f
k out of it, which in turn melted the threads slightly.
So it never threaded all the way in, its around 1/4" proud of where it should be.
Would this cause an issue? I would have though as long as its in a bit, it should work?
Or is it likely something else?
I replaced the headgasket myself last year, could i have buggered up the timing? Would this effect the emissions.
I would have expected the engine to have gone bang by now if id done this though!
Anyone any ideas?
My list of failures
Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (3.4.1c)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)
Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)
nearside front inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded sill (5.2.6)
offside front inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded sill (5.2.6)
nearside front Brake hose has insufficient room to move, resulting in fouling on any part insurecure (3.6.B.4a)
offside front Brake hose has insufficient room to move, resulting in fouling on any part insurecure (3.6.B.4a)
offside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)

Thanks Guys, Will pop by in the morning to give them the heads up before they start diagnosing things tomorrow.
Cant quite get my head around how air can get in, while air is being forced out! But I'm sure your right!
Ive already had to admit to bodging the ABS and brake flexi bracket, they will think I'm a right numpty

Had a call earlier from the Garage the Culprit was actually the Pre Cat Lambda that was faulty, not the one i attacked with the blow torch or the leak.
£600 later and she has passed
with no advisories.
Oh and to those who don't believe in my mechanical abilities, don't ever buy a red Kitcar with the Reg: WX62 HDC as i built it
