Too much oxygen in my tailpipe MOT fail..pass
The D5 failed its MOT with an extremely high fast idle lambda reading.
The technicians spent some time trying to locate a leak in the exhaust manifolds or other connectors but gave up saying I needed to get a LR specialist to take a look. Nice of them to try I suppose.
Sat at home wrestling with the paradox of perfectly normal HC and CO figures and yet very high lambda ….with AI help.
After an hour, I had compiled a list of key investigations to discuss with the Indie on a hastily booked visit for next week….before the MOT expired.
While imbibing a well deserved coffee the phone rang…the MOT station.
Quite incredibly the next car on the MOT ramp also had a very high lambda.
Back for a retest with a different analyser….…PASS.
That’s another morning faffing about I won’t get back……but at least it’s good to know my tailpipe isn’t pumping excess fresh air into the atmosphere.

Especially having to walk home and return to the garage (2miles each way) in 32deg.
I did say “bother” a few times. Even thought of selling the car….till it passed
