Maybe wrong area,
last year MoT was comment that emissions were 'odd' so here is a trace (maybe not visible) showing the output from the lambda sensor
this look a bit slow but it is swinging up and down every second or so, slow enough that I can view on teh multi meter!! from about 0.15 V to 0.8V, when engine was off it was about 0.4V. Heater in sensor is getting 12V and about 3 ohm resistance.
any comments?

Have you got the emissions print out? HC's and O2?

Some results over last couple of years:-
CO zero to 0.1
HC 8 to 22
Lambda 1.02 to 1.04 so just in at top-end and no more!
before swapped the sensor the HC was higher and Lambda lower (towards 1)
From what I can figure out a HIGH Lambda is weaker, so from a tree hugging aspect this should be good
PS is the image visible?
