Your car should have 2 lambda`s, one screwed into the pipe before the pre-cat, the other after the main cat. When you fitted the new downpipe what did you do about the wiring harness that was connected to your original pre-cat lambda sensor

I got the whole front section (downpipes & 2 cats up until the rear box) for about £160 from EuroCarParts).

They seem to change their prices depending on how they are feeling, so just ring around a few different branches, and when you get quoted a price, ask if they can do anything for you... You will probably find each branch will quote you a way different price...

Slightly cheaper than Vx £1000 jobby... Sounds the same, are certified, and guaranteed for 2 or 3 years.. cant remember exactly...

Don't bother welding the flexi... You cant get a decent seam and it will be a temp fix at best...

i only got one cat on mine thats a 2.2

2 Ralf, pre-cat and main cat

that looks the same as mine.

yes thats mine  maybe thats why my spanner light comes on now and again

You already have a cheap crap non gen cat fitted then, from bitter experience these dont last two minutes and often fail the emmisions test after a year or two.

I would pruchase the genuine one whilst you can.

You need to practice your welding some more
