Hiya from the midlands

Evening Gents,
Been a member of MG Rover forums for a while offering help and advice to many a MGR owner, whilst running a semi busy website.
I have signed up here as it seems an knowledgable place and after offering advice to the lads on MGRover.org and the ZT75 owners club site I am the one in need of advice for a change. I do appreciate any advice you can offer me on this one.

I have been asked to look after a Rangie, T plate 4.0ltr. I put my hands up to not knowing a great deal on these big beasties.I have taken it for an mot and it has failed miserably on emissions.CO 11%, lambda -1.9 and does not run very well.
I have replaced both oxy sensors with OE ones, and the air flow meter plug has been slightly disconnected which when plugged back in 2 miles later the car lost all go.I unplugged it again to get me home and now I have replaced the air flow meter now with another OE spec one and sent it back for mot retest.The co is now 1.8% ( getting better ) and lambda has slightly imporved to 0.912. As this is still out of spec and not owning any Landy diagnostic kit are there any regular checks I can carry out to solve this mystery ?

Thanks in advance gents.

If it was me i'de send it to one of my enemies.
Someone may be along soon with some sensible advice.

Thats good to hear. Car is running well, covered 9K in her now since September. Career is ok, I just need a summer project to keep me occupied!!

Steve

Excellent mate, I could tell you plenty on how to occupy yourself but there may be minors who frequent these boards

ERE Lates - did yu manage to sort that Rangie out?

it dont normally stop anyone

nah mate, i think you will find the minors are on the morris forum

The rangie had to go back to owner in a failed condition as he "insisted" he wanted to use it for his holidays against my obvious advice. MAF / Oxy sensors and cats were fitted to fail ( marginally ) again. He ragged it for a day and took it elsewhere and it passed



Morris Minors arent they childish dancers ?
