Went for an MOT the other day and it failed

Handbrake cable snapped on the brake tester! Couple of track rod ends needed too, so nothing major. Not much I could have done about the handbrake.

However, I did notice a bit of weeping of oil from the turbo oil return, so I've re-done it properly (was a bodge of two pipes and a joiner). Saw a slight water leak also, but again, just a loose jubilee.

It also fluctuates AFR, between being spot on at 14.7 to 15.7 when idling.
This translates to normal driving, as I can smell it is rich when following + there is a noticeable pop from the exhaust when slowing down. I suspect the Lambda as always. I have some spares, but I've no idea what brand/age/use they've had! So no idea what is in there at the minute. I should just get a new Bosch one bought!
