OK - first job of the day - inspect the clattering exhaust. Been under the car with the engine running and I'm 99% certain that it's the nearside front CAT. That's where the noise is coming from and there is no other obvious play. Sooo.......what enormous amout of damage am I looking at to get this replaced? Furthermore, will it pass an MoT without it? Would be a LOT cheaper to just remove both the front CATS and fit a straight through pipe on either side.

Thoughts/opinions/suggestions please?

Gonna look at the handbrake now, providing the rain holds off. Can someone please confirmed where the cabel adjustment is? There seems to be contradictory statements that there is scope for adjustment at the caliper end but also at the lever end too.....

On a positive note, discovered last night that the MoT doesn't actually expire until the 13th Nov

Not even with the rear two in place? Damn these modern cars and their infernal emissions testing!!!  [smiley=angry.gif]

So is there a thread running or sticky about where best to source CATS or should I start a new thread? I never seem to get many returns when I use the search function. Found this via a quick Google - http://www.cats-direct-shop.co.uk/exhaust-systems.php?recordID=3420 I need part 380052 - seems like a good price - I would imagine that the Stealers would want 4 times that!
