If you have, If you can take it to a garage with an exhaust gas tester, adjust the fuel mixture to 1.0 to1.5% co (carbon monoxide) and check that the hydrocarbons (hc) is less than approx 500ppm. If it is more then suspect another injector. Ideally it should be less than 200ppm.
Catalytic converter is out indeed. Do these exhaust values apply to the engine with the cat removed? (it isn't clear to me). I remember Ed suggesting to run it a little richer so it runs well on the highways (who needs idle anyway!).
But basically the emissions aren't a priority right now, since my MOT is valid unit November 2016. I just want the car to run smooth and stable.
PS. Funny how my spell-checker suggested to use "Catholic Converter". I'm not a religious person.
