Sport cat - instant MOT fail?
MOT was the topic of conversation earlier when talking to a neighbor... They mentioned a sports cat on their car failed instantly.
Firstly is this true
and secondly how do I get round it without replacing 
?
Appreciate everybody's thoughts

I was always under the impression that it diesn't matter weher it has a cat or not, if it passes the emmissions, thats all you need.
It was confirmed by my mates father in law, he has a V12 Jag 1995 model, with no cats, and it passed an MOT/emission test.
were you saying the MOT tester failed it purely for the reason it has a sports cat, or did I read that wrong?
Or if it failed on the emissions, I hear they need a good warm up?

What he may have meant is that a lot of cars with sports cats have failed the MOT. Unless the cat is knackered or poor quality it is nearly always due to them not being warmed up enough before the test. Like L.J.F says get it nice & hot & it will pass.
