Know anyone with a genuine cat you can borrow? Generic ones really are shit and even with a really healthy engine, will only just pass.
Put a tank of good petrol in it, bottle of Forte or similar then rag it to death and get it roasting hot just before the MOT. Might get the emissions down just enough to pass.
Although having a cheap lambda won't help, the various TU ECUs do just use a bog standard reading (unlike the XU GTI ECU which is why generic lambdas for these don't do anything good) so that should be ok.
