Thats not too bad, brake hoses are cheap, new cat and you'll be sorted. What a pain though.

Better fuel and you will pass

They should have given you a seperate sheet with the emissions test results on and what exact test they passes or failed on

As Lee said, pretty sure this will have been solved by now, what with it being 10months old!
