Just finished taking out the dreaded pre-cats.

Car is a 53 and at 32k, the pre-cats looked fine but I am still happier with them out.

Took about 3.5 hrs and went okay thanks to the guide on here.

I had to pay 8 quid for a oxy sensor socket but took care of the rest with a 1/2

" and 3/8" socket set.

Gaskets went back on okay too.

Sheared a bolt underneath that holds the plastic tray up but drilled it out and used a couple of tie-wraps to secure.

The car feels like it can

"breath" now too, a bit like after you have had a new car and the engine loosens up.

I am sure it's slightly different.

Didn't notice anything negative.
