M.O.T Failure - Parts needed

[Dazmartin]

Just picked the teg up from it's MOT and it's failed.
The EML light has been on for 3 years and I know it's the Pre-Cat sensor, it has passed previous MOT's with this however the emissions are now to high.

Anyone know a good place to get a pre-cat sensor (anyone got a working pre-owned ?) and rear pads ? Is Dave at Steels Honda the best ? I need them within 10 days !

Any help appreciated.

Pretty sure Tegiwa sell brand new genuine Honda O2 sensors and rear pads are the same as an EP3 so can get them from any motor factors.

I've got a sensor but it's not Honda OEM. PM me for more details.

Its new btw.

where abouts are you? Give VTEC Direct a shout - they should be able to sort the parts for you quickly

seriously!?
from personal experience i have just this week ordered two items, not important what it is, for £174 each delivered, taxes an all in price,(ordered and expected delivery 3~4 weeks) the same items from vtec direct were £288 each!!!! i'm still waiting to hear from vtec direct if their price includes taxes, bringing them to my house in a limosine on a velvet cushion and fitted by F1 mechanics...lol

:xhaha2:

 

[chrex]

Aye, depends on the quality of the items too though. Andy doesnt sell rubbish - he only sells good parts because then he only has to sell them once and people are happy. Good parts normally cost more. Ok, that price difference you mentioned is pretty steep, but did you ask who makes the part and quote the other price to them? I've only ever had superb service and on looking about - he's normally cheaper, if not very close.

Cheers guys, it's going back in this afternoon, new brake pads and sensor getting fitted and re-tested.
After fitting the new sensor will the ECU need re-setting ? Also will having the CAT hot help ?
Cheers.
