#1: Failed MOT on Emissions Author: chris001, Location: BournemouthPosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:49 am ---- Hi guys, my girlfriends car failed its MOT today on emissions!
I'm guessing this is down to a faulty Cat as it sounded like it was breaking up (rattling a lot) over christmas so its not too much of a surprise. They guy at the garage also suspected a cat before i told him this. Just wondering wher the best (and also cheapest) place to buy a replacement cat as the prices vary a lot. I have a 2000 1.6 Maunal (206 obviously) GLX. I found the below:
I guess Im looking at the Euro Cat and the clamps. I already have some sealant. Is there anything else I need. Also I have found a cheaper cat on ebay but not sure if it the correct spec
Any help would be great. Need to get it sorted for the next test next weekend.
Chris
