I double checked my writing, so the 182ppm at 2009 HC is correct (unless mistyped at the MOT centre). All the MOT test been carried out in December each year. From the last year I`m using vPower petrol (to keep clean the engine and reduce the deposits in the exhaust system).
The lambda value shows the air and the fuel mixture, it must be around value 1.000, if it`s not within the limit the air/fuel mixture is bad and can damage the catalysator and more harmfuel gases produced.
If all the other values rising by the time it shows the engine wear or incorrect burn in the engine, it can cause eg. clogged air filter, worn spark plug, valve clearance, etc.
