does seem to have had some messing about with for such low mileage.
- you can sometimes see the reading on the top of the Lambda meter
with a mirror - should read about 003- 004 I guess with less than
1000miles on it (% of 30,000 miles done ? is that right), could also
have been changed of course but if its higher than that its not gen
mileage (if my info is correct that is) :-)
