Here's to hoping! Yeah 2nd O2 sensor not there but the MOT uses the sniffer because they can't connect to the "OBD2" port being MEMS1.9 so if the holes are letting the in extra Oxygen the Lambda will read out but new pipe ordered anyway just incase they complain about that on the MOT.

I THINK I FIXED IT! (Long post) I took a look today before it started throwing it down and found a couple of things; Firstly I took the distributor cap off to inspect for water ingress from greenlaning and found OIL inside the distributor cap, took the plastic seal off the rotor arm and it...

Learn from the best 🤫 :p

I am glad to hear you've possibly sorted it! be sure to update the thread title to solved once you're sure - So other people finding this in the future know it's been solved

Welp, guess I'm towing it down, it seems the misfire in the previous posts is causing the issue - I've attached a picture of the emissions test - checked all plugs and they not only look good but actually quite good no wetness or fouling, so really am lost and will let all all have a gander at it.

Oh yeah... I forgot about this - Well Guess I'll just ignore it

I wonder if someone has a OWUT contraption they could bring - Really need to test mine but have absolutely no will to build a contraption to test it just to work out I need to spend more money 😬

Well... Now my brakes are back to almost normal, I can return to this. I have booked an MOT for Thursday - to see if it'll pass emissions, but should it fail (it still has that odd misfire) I still have a few ideas, before I rebuild the motor. It could be some of the following so I am looking...

Booked the MOT for Thursday... fingers crossed it'll make it down there under its own power, if not I guess I'll be towing it :rolleyes:

The threads had been completely stripped, when I tried to do an oil change, the drain plug would spin, and it was cheaper and quicker for me to replace the pan than buy tools to re-tap new threads and find a new bolt that would fit and work correctly 🤷‍♂️

Replaced the Oil pan, O2 Sensor, inlet manifold gasket and a coolant flush. The inlet ports were very wet, especially the one closest to the coolant port (bottom of the image) so I am hoping that was why the car was losing coolant... Obviously not mixing with the oil though so that is good...

Got the old sump off, the only part I needed to remove other than the exhaust was the bracket that goes around the driveshaft and connects to the bottom of the sump to the IRD as it was in the way of one of the sump 10mm bolts, I am sure with a UJ socket bit you could get in there but the last...

Well ill be down there this weekend so i will be sure to report back exactly what else is in the way if anything

Do you remember what it is you had to move out of the way? Other than the exhaust which I see as quite obvious

Yes it is a K series, I can see the support bracket in your image has been removed or wasnt there (goes around the drive shaft) but I can clearly see the IRD is still in which is good news! Thanks
