God damn it !

Failed on some silly things i can sort out, some welding thats been done today and also something to do with the emmisions ? Forget what it was called, was a strange name and begin with a "R"

I spoke to a guy today tho and he said that i didn't have this part on my system

My engine came out of an '89 Astra, before they had cat's fitted etc. so he didnt bother testing my emmisions.

your corsa has a lambda sensor. mine has to be between 0.97 & 1.03 it was 1.02. it's to do with the air/fuel ratio

He should have done, as all vehicles now have to have CO emissions below a certain level. No matter what age the engine is... Tell me if I'm wrong though, cos I'm de-catting my '89 Cav engine when I fit it...
