Well had the car in for it's MOT today, failed in a bad way on emmisions and the offside rear handbrake. On a plus he complemented me on the work I've done on the car 
Fast Idle:-
CO - Max = 0.300 - Mine = 9.055
HC - Max = 200 - Mine = 362
Lambda - Min = 0.970 -Max = 1.030 - Mine = 0.775
Second Fast Idle:-
CO - Max = 0.300 - Mine = 9.610
HC - Max = 200 - Mine = 428
Lambda - Min = 0.970 -Max = 1.030 - Mine = 0.745
Natural Idle:-
CO - Max = 0.500 - Mine = 8.510

So here we go, overfuelling like a mofo which would explain my crappy MPG, any Ideas why this has failed so bad???
Thinking of getting a new lambda and will have to check all the exhaust connections. Does anyone use sealent on the manifold to downpipe connection? Didn't take the maniold off so don't think it would be drawing in there.
All help appreciated
