  3. Did you go looking for single mums?
     
  4. Drug-addled former girl band members actually.
     
  5. And you didn't find at least one?

    I'm amazed :smile:
     
  6. tell me the readings i will tell you wats wrong
     
  7. first reading co level 0 .72%
    second reading co level 0 .79%

    all other readings passed
     
  8. was lamda at top end of scale say about 1.025 1.03
     
  9. no


    lambda 0.98
    2nd run 0.99

    acceptable range- min max 0.97-1.03
     
  10. rule of thum, if c.o just over limit and lamda high with know gas leaks. cat.
    if c.o high aprox 1%+ and lamda low oxygen (lamda) sensor.
     
  11. my guess if all good with lamda wireing some models pre cat wire very long and can burn on exhaust i would recomend lamda sensor. if air filter and air flow meter in good working order
     

  12. Well co was twice limit (act 0.79, limit 0.30) and lambda was low in range , so I was going oxygen sensor.
    cat was replaced in aug 2010, kwik fit probably put on a cheese one though.

    one o2 sensor was replaced earlier this year, will replace the other now.

    will get it stuck on genesis , to see if any fault readings lurking to confirm the above.

    failing that, whack some Worcester sauce it, and take it up the bypass in second at 90, a few times

    cheers for rules of thumb ( or is that rule of thumbs?)
     
  13. no prob. only one, the others constantly up me arse.
     
  14. Impressive, an o2sensor up your .... What does that read on a Sunday morning!
     
  15. looking at error code it sugests i might be dead.
    by the way post cat lamda sensor shouldnt effect emmisions, hope not teaching to suck eggs here.
     
  16. Shelving racks arrived today for the garage, put 1 together tonight and the big tidy up clear out is coming ! Could do with a dry day now to turf it all out and sort stuff ! Can I create enough space for another bike, that's the big question :wink:
     
  17. Work work work...busy few weeks and away from home
