MOT failure, help needed!!!!
Me scooby failed its mot today on emissions. Also found a hole near the centre cat (car has two cats, one centre and one on downpipe).
Garage reckon the centre cat needs replacing, but my mate says it could be the lamba sensor?
Any ideas on how i could find out which it is or what might be prone to go.
2 coil packs did fail recently which i gave now sorted. I wasn't using the car when this happened, only noticed after i changed the rocker gasket.
Car has already been off the raod for 5 weeks.

Is the hole from corrision, or a missing lambda sensor as there should be one in the last cat pipe?
You'll find that there is 3 cats, centre, downpipe and uppipe. You can remove the up-pipe and one of the other 2 and still pass the MOT so I would doubt it is a cat.

The hole was caused by corrosion.

Will have a look under my car, then i can say yes or no. Might have to do it tomorrow though, as i might have to take the missus to the hospital.

Its free to you mate on the condition that you attend at least the next 3 MSOC meets and get a sticker from Budgie and display it proudly in your car!
I'm in Croxley Green, you can pick it up anytime mate, I can leave it somewhere for you if I'm not in. PM me and I'll sort you out with my address/number.
