Great stuff! Just needed to find an exhaust place where they're not frightened to roll their sleeves up and get in there

Technical HELP! New Catalytic Converter???
Thats the problem though with the fast fit places nowadays they want to earn their money the easy way and not prepared to get stuck in..glad to see you managed to get it sorted mate and I bet your relieved it was a fraction of the cost

Good for you mate
Some of them really do try and stick their arm in. £200 - £250 to replace a Cat Converter that wasn't even faulty? How stupid does he think I am?!

Hello to all i know i am in the wrong part of the forum but could i ask if anyone would know where i could get a cat for a 1.8 dynamic please. I have been quoted £900 which means the car gets scrapped unless i can find an alternative.Kind Regards Steve:worship:
lol ure gna scrap for the sake of £900?!?! that sounds silly, if your gonna replace it than your deff going to spend more than £900...try scrapper, ebay breakers. if your in north london try redcorn. also most after-market places will give oyu a sports cat which will pass MOT for less than £900....
What the hell £900 for a cat. A sports cat is £200 and will take what 1/2 hour to fit.
The 1.8 has twin cats fitted
Probably cheaper to have a purpose made
unit made up in stainless.

I still don't get what the 900 is for. It's only costing me £700 to have a duplex back with stanless pipe all the way to the first cat removing the second one and fixing a leak up front weather it needs a new cat or not.
iirc, 1.8 has single cat, i think its only the 2.4 that has 2 cats....same stu, £900 seems to be a cloud figure...
1.8 has 2 cats side by side bolted to the manifold
and 2 precat lambdas. (4 spark plugs too)
