upon further investigation and talks with the garage the cat that was replaced was used (2months old) but a couple of things worry me about it.
1. the donor car had blown its head gasket which can cause problems with the cat
2. the spanner who fitted it had used exhaust paste BEFORE the cat (on the link pipe) which is also known to cause problems with the catalytic material
i now have a brand new cat which i plan on fitting over the weekend

#21: Re: Failed emissions 5 times!!!!!! Author: x_lyns_x, Location: barnsleyPosted: Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:57 am ---- I reckon my total cost including mot this time round has come to about £250 but non of the work was done at the mot station

A decent Cat would have been about £400 upwards. At least its passsed!
