Thrashed the bejesus out of it... used some redex...
CO emissions came out higher.

I saw some CATCLEAN stuff in my local motor place the other day, had rave reviews and its put in the fuel before and MOT test to specifically help lower emission
**EDIT**
CATACLEAN! thats the stuff.

Plugging the car in especially on a single lambda car with a dodgy cat will show up nothing on a diagnostics check.
A fault code reader is no substitute for understanding how a car works.
