Whats wrong with the cat section of the exhaust, if its the flexi joint then fit a new flexi joint as pattern cats are not great and much noisier.

As for service items, Vx with a trade card is the answer (think James has a trade card)

its rattles bad from inside the actual cat. been underneath the car and there is nothing loose its deffinatly inside the cat

[Jukeboxnut]

I have always found that Auovaux service kits are good value, having said this I bought my last one off ebay very cheap and it was a genuine Vx set.

I would agreee that the Vx exhausts are best with a trade card but although the cat rattles has it failed the MOT emissions test, if not I would be tempted to live with the rattle.

It could just be the heat shield.....worth checking.

Semi synthetic

[Kevin Wood]

The vauxhall semi is 10w40 but pretty much any decent 40 or 30 viscosity oil should be OK.
