Just do a cmpresion test first, mine failed on HC and it was because the mixture on the AFM was to Lean (CO was very low) so it was overfueling to compensate, so as said above possibly new lambda and cat should sort that, I have an old 1.4 16v CAT you could have although im not sure what condition it is in as its not been used in 3 years!!
