Elise S1 MOT woes - Emissions

[FlappyCat]

Hi All

After taking my car apart to change the cooling fan etc.. I was able to get an MOT booked but it failed badly on emissions.

Is there an ordered workthrough list of usual suspects ie: Llambda - cat - ecu etc..

Cheers - be nice to drive it this year!

Had that problem too. More often than not, if you think the car is generally sound it's the lambda sensor. Someone on here may tell you where you can get a cheapo equivalent part but Geary has them here for starters http://www.eliseparts.com/shop/index.php?main_page...

I got my lamba sensor of ebay for £15 delivered and that new. Only thing you have to do is crimp the cable togther. Any garage can do it. its the same one as used on a MGF.

Yeah I'm suspecting Llambda - it was also suggested that the temp sender (one that goes to ECU) can get fried and make the engine run on 'cold' mixture.

I'll be watching Ebay then!
