aha, you say it has passed but you have a problem with idle if i remember correctly these engines have an idle stabilization valve that gives loads o bovver typical prob is almost stalling or high revs at idle either could cause high lambda you can remove valve 2*8mm nuts i believe give it a damm good clean with carb cleaner i dont have a picture to show you maybe one of the other guys has ,this usually cures the fault,i would suspect the probe and cat r ok regards carlos,,,

I changed the idle speed control valve about 2yrs ago, I'll think i'll change the probe the mechanic said to change it, there is slight leak on exhaust, by the cat but gonna get a gasket for that, need a clutch, an anti-roll bar drop link and the probe, quite a bit to get on with plus it need new rear brake hoses, new brakeshoes and new front discs, so need pads aswell lol but wont touch the braking system til next year, clutch is slippin bad, so gonna change the clutch, probably change the spigot bearing aswell while its out.
