Hi All,
I have had my P38 in storage for nearly two years due to what I thought was an issue with a piston misfire but turns out to be plugs/leads! Don't even go there!!!
Oddly enough the car actually passed on everything else but failed on emissions which came as a surprise - 25% over the legal limit!!!! I had the lamda sensor replaced for a similar reason a few years back but at 17yrs old wouldn't expect the old girl to be running perfectly. That said, she passed an MOT back on 2011 without any issue and hasn't been running much since.
Any ideas as to the problem? It isn't worth forking out £££ for catalytic converters as I have an L322 which is in perfect condition but still don't want to let the P38 die either. All help/suggestions appreciated. I thought maybe fuel/2yr old oil could be an issue since it has been standing a while but marginal difference to the readings apparently so I need a cheap but sensible solution in an ideal world.
Thanks.
