ive just got a 406 on a 1999 plate T reg.
its the 1.8 lx.....
now im after help lol..................
its failed on the catalyst test the fail parts are....
1..fast idle speed
2..Lambda@2229rpm=1.09 fail 0.97(min) 1.03(max)
3..second fast idle test..

i dont know if anyone can help me but im thinking i can just replace the lambda maybe as the exhaust is only about a year & half old as its very new looking.and the guy i bought car from said it was not that old..lol

also ive got to replace the rear drop links then its ready for its mot..........so can anyone help me with some info please..many thanks

Err... Is the cat new too? Maybe you could try changing the lambda probe as this is cheaper than a new cat, then again maybe it's the engine management so perhaps some diagnostics before you start. I did have an Ashtray once that failed on the emissions test, not by much though so all I had to do was take it for a thrash before the (next) test and it was fine

Not sure on the links, although many have done it so perhaps try a search.
