    If he will let you buy one, without the rest of the system. He wouldn't last year, if you recall.
    Said on the 'phone to me and to Nicolas ('scoubix') too that he would, then changed his mind when you tried to pay!
    I was even arranging their pick up by Bernard.

    Thread at the time, if you missed it:

    Worth a try though. Just take care!

    I had the same answer after having put my name down to purchase last year, worth trying again you may be lucky,
    Is the cat damaged, or what makes you want to change it.

    Unless you know differently one cat wont have just failed, the lambdas should give you the information you need. Are you sure you dont have a faulty lambda or something else putting the emissions up.

    How hard did the garage try to get it to pass? There are some tricks that can be used to get a car to pass, my tester will usually have a go if a car is close or was it way off? How long did the garage let the car warm up for before they tested it, a decent run down the local bypass in 3rd gear can often help secure a pass on a marginal car.

    looking at the post cat Lambda sensor waveforms should tell you if its knackered, but as Steve says do you have a faulty lambda ( pre Cat)

    Stuart best start by posting the emission results.
    I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure.
    When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
