Default Failed MOT at one station and passed at the other! HELP please......

(Sorry bit of a read)Basically took my car to be MOT'd on wednesday and it failed on emissions, very odd for a car that runs sweet and is well looked after(i thought).

So the garage that looks after my servicing etc got to work to see what the problem was, they changed the CAT and checked all the sensors etc, could not find anything wrong, so he said i should take it into Honda because they have better diag machines, so fair enough i thought(even if it was a ball ache for me) so i take it to Honda and they tested it and it passed with flying colours, emissions are great and everything is spot on.

So ive now paid however much it was for an MOT(didnt pay yet) at the garage, and then £75 for Honda to simply tell me your car is spot on and it didnt fail.

For your interest the garage said it failed badly with a reading of 3 point something, and Honda told me lambda 0.970 and co reading of 0.002.

Oh yeah and it was tested by the garage 4 times and each time it read WAY over(apparently)

So what do i do? am i within my rights to complain and ask for my test money back(at the least)? or cant i ?

Thanks
