Strange request - Need a CAT ASAP

Post by Beebaleen »

Hey guys,

I am based in the High Wycombe area and my MR2 is failing its MOT due to lack of CAT (Surprise surprise) The guy who added the decat threw away my Catalytic converter for some reason and I remain stuck. I don't plan on keeping the car for longer than 6 months so would rather avoid the £140 for a brand new CAT. Any suggestions or can someone throw me one temporarily/sell me one.

Many thanks in advance!

Ah knew I would forget something - MR2 Mk2 Rev3 N/A 'M' (Reg 94-5). Never realised how long the name of a car is jeebus!

If it fits then why not, I just need it ASAP xD I have been a silly noodle and not realised the MOT is actually expired already so as you can imagine I am fairly under pressure :oops:

Lies and deceit! £49.99 for a CAT turned out to be £129 for a CAT. Blasphemy! 420mm for reference, there are 3 one which is 425mm and a much shorter one.
