With the misfire (which is actually not too bad at the moment) I was a bit worried about getting through the MoT on emissions however K588VPB just sailed through with no advisories. Emissions were actually excellent (new cat about 16 months ago):

Fast Idle (mine/limit)

CO: 0.02 / 0.2
HC: 6 / 200
lambda: 1.006 / 0.97 - 1.03

All better than last year but it's had new plugs, leads, cap, rotor and lamda sensor (NKG) since then. Plus I made sure it had good quality fresh petrol in it before the test. And I took it for an Italian tune up last night!

Natural Idle

CO: 0.051 / 0.3

Not quite as good as last year (was 0.013). I wonder why?

Nice one Jeremy. I hope you're having second thoughts about replacing her now!

While it 'works' as our practical car (vs. the 1963 AH Sprite and the late mk1 MX-5) I want to keep the car because I love driving it and it owes me nothing. However I do have to have one 'head' car (as opposed to two heart ones thought the Mazda is actually Sarah's).

Now to fix the misfire (which involces putting some time aside to take the throttle bodies off) and the rainwater leak into the passenger footwell. I now know where the latter is coming in I just need to understand why.
