Finally found out what my engine management light was on for. It's the catalyst convertor that is the issue. It,s giving too many emissions out, sensor has been tested and that was fine. The fault code was P0420.

So I either need a new CAT or buy a new full exhaust system.

Anybody know best place to get either and rough prices. I,ve looked myself but not 100% sure I know what I!me looking for LOL


Cat's don't come cheap nor do the exhaust's. I'd say cheapest is breakers I will take a look for you once football's finished :)

Thanks your a star

Obviously this is all dependant on your budget and breakers will be more cost effective but may not last as long

 

here is a new option that removes one cat and should last you the time of ownership

This is potentially a cheaper option but I would touch base with them to confirm fitment

Another example great quality but I would struggle myself with this one seems ott and possibly a mistake, could be worth confirming as it may be £199.99

I would get a decat, £100 from powerflow on the Halfway estate in Sheffield :) did you go to Scooby services by any chance ??

That costs more than I bought the car for LOL

No, couldn,t get there due to work, so I got a mobile diagnostic man

Thanks I try my best :) 

It's a non turbo Ash. Decat I would say is not worth the hassle myself. 

This place has one being broken that might have the part. They say they will fit it too but it's Manchester. So take P&P into account with postage and the cost of what they will sell it for + someone to fit it. :)

 

 

Sorry does mean you will need to ring about with breakers then find someone to fit it too. And like Jay says there is a small chance parts don't work :( But think most things are good as long as it's a non moving part :)

Spoke to Rotherham scoobies and they said exhaust system for mine fitted you are looking at £350, or decat pipe fitted for £150.


As long as you want the decat and can get it through an MOT without it on. That's a good price. It's the Cat that costs the most.

But if that can't be done I'd say getting one from a breakers yard posted and fitting would cost about the same as a rough guess. 

How well do you know the MOT tester ?

if you do go decat option make sure you can get it passed the mot with it at your usual tester or ask around others see if they will let it slide, but most importantly fit a lambda spacer as the stronger gasses will make the car run worse than it is now as the ecu won't know the cats missing
