 Ford Escort - 97 1.8 failed MoT on emissions - high Lambda readi - Dave_
>> Zetec engines due tend to suffer from sticky valves if the wrong oil has been used

I'd heard of that one myself - apparently its only a problem in the UK because we all pootle around under 3,000rpm, while the continentals wring it out to the red line in every gear! In any case, I've been changing the oil regularly and using 5w30 synthetic with "Ford A rated - suitable for Zetec petrol engines" on the can. Should I take another car for the emissions test then??
