Have the middle cat but need the cat in the downpipe with the sensor as mine has been cut off when the full decat was fitted.

Oh dear ..........

Thats what happens when you foooook with them!!

Mind you, thats a bit naughty selling a car with the Lambda Lead cut - surely there was a CEL?

Did you buy it with a FULL MOT? If so, then the MOT Testing Station could be sued ...
