Another year

by Robs-se » Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:13 pm

Passed the MOT today :D but had to have the cat replaced as it failed on that again :( .
My car eats cats thats 4 in 7 years doesnt matter if i put cheap or expensive ones on it. Last one lasted an incredible 3 years.

I took my original cat off to put the replacer on, and stored the cat for 11 months of the year in a damp garage, refitted for MOT and it passed emissions every time.....i have had to scrap it now as the flanges have rusted to nowt.

If your car eats cats, there must be something either amiss with the engine or it's what youre doing with them?
