"Car had new Cat & Lambda in Nov 09 to pass test."
So why another MOT test only 3-4 months later?
If poor quality aftermarket parts were fitted this wouldn't surprise me at all, they often only just squeeze through one test.
Should be under guarantee though?

I have a 1996 Mercedes C180, failed mot & retest on emmissions, co2 high.
Eng Oil Temp = 84C
1ST MOT
Fast Idle Test
CO level =0.76 - fail
HC level = 115 - pass
Lambda = 1.022 - pass
Second Fast Idle Test
CO level = 0.66 - fail
HC level = 115 ppm - pass
Lambda = 1.018 - pass
Natural Idle Test
CO level 0.50 - pass
After changing Air filter, plugs and adding injector cleaner,
a good run before arriving at garage, it failed on retest
CO level =0.53 - fail
HC level = 115 - pass
Lambda = 1.018 - pass
Car had new Cat & Lambda in Nov 09 to pass test.
any ideas
