Job done a new cat sorted it.

I dont know what the biggest shock was ...£740+ for the cat or the go ahead on the job from the customer. I really thought it was going to be game over for it.

Many thanks for all the help and very interesting document from Aidan. Wont confess I understood it first time I read it but after I sat and read it a couple of time I think it has gone in. It's one of them bits of information that will be used time and time again from now on.

On another note and I think I might know the answer but are there ANY good aftermarket cat available. I only use genuine ones but even on a vehicle like this the price of the cat+ mot+ lab it was very touch and go if it was worth it.

Many thanks once again
Andrew
