Nearside CAT needed

[irvind]

Where's the cheapest place to get one?

Old one's in a right mess apparently, explains why the CO2 reading for the MOT was through the roof...!

As usual, I've managed to answer my own question, Kinda.

Found this lot https://www.topgear.co.uk who appear to have the very fella for £296.34 inc VAT. Seems reasonable, anyone used them before?

Is it Jeremy's side-business?

Found them too thanks. Emailed both, will see what comes back.

Ok, ordered from www.cats4less.co.uk though topgear had the nearside one in stock too.

Bummer is I ended up needing both CATs, but they had both in stock, sent today, arrive tomorrow being delivered to the garage. Good service from them, nice and friendly. £553 inc VAT for both, no delivery charge.

One thing I'm cautious about is they said they have no fixing kit for them, that I'd need to get that from the Stealer. Apparently what's on mine now is no use, so I'm hoping the Stealer kit won't bump up the price too much!!

If anyone else needs some I have a pair of good cats in the garage.

Yikes! £553?.... the S2 CATs my car passed the MOT with are outside in the shed. I've got RS2 CATs now.... You could have had mine for virtually nothing

Probably bout 15mins in the car for delivery too.....

Hindsight's a beautiful thing....! I figured it was better to get some new ones on given how long it'll take him to fit them, and I'm in a hurry to get it fixed. But still. *rse. And double *rse.

My mechanic's best quote from his suppliers was £365 each, so it seemed like the way to go.

Cheers anyway!

Oh, know any good bodyshops? My front wings are in a shocking state at the arches, prob need new wings and other bits touched up.

I know...

I honestly don't know of any good bodyshops..... and generally I get sceptical about getting ripped off (or probably just having to pay..... )

Where about's are you in Glasgow -

North, East, West or South?

[irvind]

Yeah I'm not a big fan of handing money over for cosmetic nonsense, but the wings do have holes in them now..

I'm West. North Kelvinside/East Maryhill...
