Avoid Toyota, Ford and Kia?

The power tools they use are quite noisey

Probably got them at a Sunday market....Miwalkie.

Could a man of your mechanical abilities take the cat off and keep it just for the NCTS, Hal MfH?

There were garages renting out CATs by the day for the NCT on petrol Avensisisis back in the day.

Maybe..theres no emmision test on a hybrid yet.As long as it doesn't set off any codes it might not be necessary at all.

I'm sure they'd notice it's absence during the underbody inspection.

A mate of mine once had sex with the exhaust pipe on the back of his lorry.


He found out a week later he was HGV positive.

I'm not sure it's part of the test.You could probably pass if a blank tube was welded/clamped to the rest of the exhaust.

Cordless, because not all caravans have enough sockets:https://www.screwfix.ie/p/makita-djr186z-18v-li-ion-lxt-cordless-reciprocating-saw-bare/8334R?gclid=CjwKCAiA9bmABhBbEiwASb35V4fkTHhh6kefxOxHBq4MuKacB6ivvshdx8Fy5SVq9TxFpZxsqVwVohoC6XoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Dunno if anyone seen on Sky news yesterday it but some chap in the UK confronted the lads cutting the CAT of his Lexus is200(a fancy prius) and they pulled a gun on him and he legged it.

Merch its hardly more lucrative to rob the exhaust than to rob the whole car for scrapping .Is there some secondry value to those cats .Is there some toxic part or something that terrorists can use to make dirty bombs of something .Economically it dosent seem make sence to rob them just to recover the precious metals ?

Precious....you obviously have not seen any of dem HOBBIT  movies

^^^Dunno John if you got 4/5 or more cats a night it's not a bad way to feed yer drug habit.

I've heard they take them during the day too.They park beside your car in a shopping center and put a high vis on and everyone just thinks they're fixing the car.....with an angle grinder..Dirtbags.

Did they not change the rule a few years ago that EGR and Cats and DPF must be in place for NCT?

[Rat Catcher]

There's a market for them, no doubt about that. Funny as it might seem, you'd get more for the cat than the car in MfH and Hals' cases.

Mines a low kilometrage 2011....don't be mixing me up with the rabble...an 05 in this case!!
