Hi, new to the forums so I hope I am posting in the correct place.
I bought a Z4M but after less than a 1000 miles had to store it for 18 months due to illness. When I took it out it failed the CO2 at idle on the MOT. Permitted is 200 and it was 1,800. I filled up the half full tank with Tesco momentum and ran the engine at medium revs for about 15 minutes (it's had a rebuilt engine and is not fully run in yet) - The MOT centre then tested it twice - 1100 and 5 minutes later to 800. Their diagnostics said 2 of the oxygen sensors were not connected but they are (they were switched around with good ones so it's not the sensors).
Any idea how I could rectify this? I just want to drive my beloved beast but it's depressing me instead. I can't take it to specialist because I can't tax it because it has no MOT.
thanks for any pointers, Jim
