K-series failed emissions

If you put as much electcul load on the eng as posibel ( Light on mane beam , Heater Ect ). It brings down
the emishon levils as comperd to no load atall during the test. It works on Rover 25,45 so it shood work on yours.

You must be running very lean then Hambo

you really need be carefull with WD40 around a new one, as the silicones in it will kill it instantly.

There's no silicone in WD40! Still wouldn't use it as a releasing oil though. It's crap at that.


I guess I must be really lucky as in all the lambda sensors I have removed, I have never had one strip the threads. A good bit heat and a bit of patience seems to do the trick.

i give my car al the patience in the world.
But lucky you.

As i said, the threads really weren't bad at all. But i removed the manifold and tapped the hole just to make sure.

When I worked in a garage I never had one strip the threads but you have heating gear etc at your finger tips. If they were tight and bit of heat usually works.

However, Working away in my garage at home its about 50/50.

Big difference from a fully equiped workshop to a man in a shed.
