Just put a couple of doses of injector cleaner thru it and give it a good blast.
Then, once yu have fixed the HGF, it will fly thru an MOT.

when was it last serviced?
Serviced ?. A mate & I changed the head, fitted new plugs, cleaned points etc & it runs really well. He worked for LR when they built mine so he feel guilty !. I am wondering if the apparently easily damaged oxy sensor was damaged.
Not only does my dealer charge a fortune but has also been known to give bad advice in order to extract money. Its hasn't been dealer serviced in years as the previous owner used a local non Landy garage.
Are there many other things that could cause the problem. With a diagnostic at £120 I am wondering whether to get an Oxy sensor & some injector cleaner.

Get some redex from your local topaz or halfords. It's good stuff, i've used it before. It'll de-coke your injectors, cylinders etc.

I find it to be very useful stuff. Saves taking the head off and doing a manual de-coke or refurbing the injectors.

just stick some vegetables in it a couple of carrots and a leek should help
Filters as in fuel & air - definitely not for three years !.
It may not have points but it does have a rotor arm - if it had points I wouldn't be in this mess !. Would an air filter effect it that much ?.
Redex - what memories !. Remove a plug, thimble full of redex & wait for the neighbours to call the fire brigade.
I am trying to avoid changing lots of bits only to find that I have changed the wrong bits. Emissions are a pain in that the only way that know something has worked is by a retest.
The head & pistons are beautifully clean or they were 3 months ago.

the guy wants to cut corners - no point in helping.
You dont cut corners with a 1.8 unless you are either stupid or a masochist
