Emissions....

Fixes can include one or more of the following:

- give it a good blast up and down once ure engine is warm changing gears and reaching a whole range of revs
- have the MOT'er test it when ure CAT is up to a normal operating temperature
- run your fuel down to fairly low and pour in a whole bottle of redex to clean out your injectors and so on (u can use anything similar to redex)
- change your lambda sensor
- change your cat
