I seem to remember we did a thread on j2 ref values when we were hosted on the old rover.org forum. Phiilip, do you still have access to the original threads? I am pretty sure the contributors were myself, cairnsys and rob bell.
There is a thread on here now called reference values, mems3 That should be very similar to the J2 with regard to fuelling. Every time I have had high emissions it has been the lambda sensor at fault, but do check for air leaks around inlet manifold and exhaust pipe.
