Did you give it a good thrashing before the test?

Normally cures emission failures :y :y :y :y

The 2.2 I've got here failed on high lambda readings but the exhaust was leaking like a seive! Held together with jubilee clips and bean cans just before the back box and the actual back box had plate steel held on with roofing screws ;D GOD was it heavy!

Did it fail by a lot?

I assume the exhaust was ok as they didn't fail that..

How long since it was serviced? Particualrly filters (air/fuel), plugs. Breather clean and oil change would do no harm.   Worth doing all this if its been a while.

Does a paperclip test through up any codes?

Worth giving it a decent run if it hasn't had one, used for short journeys etc.
