I'm looking at hiring a ramp for a couple of hours and hope to have it swapped out pretty easy. however knowing how things go for me there will be something I have not thought of and something will come to bite me in the bum.
I was wondering if you kind people would have any words of advice???
I was hoping to make it to Coventry but would hate to turn up with a ill crossfire
Thanks in advance Zak
Hi Zak
The rear cats seem to be the most susceptible to failure, the two front ones seem to go on ok. Some owners have removed the rears rather than replace, and have found the car still passes our MOT emissions test without problems with just the fronts. The car was built to meet higher standards required of the USA market at the time. Ebay have replacement front sections for around 180.00 depending which side. Of course better to replace, but your choice. Good luck and keep us posted
Cheers
