Embarassed I know, I know, it's another de-cat question, just not sure if it's been difinativley answered yet.

I've been offered a decat from a valver (£35 inc. postage which seems reasonable - I know some folk can get them for a tenner but we don't al have the magic touch Laughing )

Will this fit on my 1.8spt - are the connections etc. the same?

so it would appear the answer is no Sad

Evil or Very Mad if you ask me that's a bit stupid - you'd think the cat would be standard across the range....

.... but zat's just vat ve'd be expecting zem to do Twisted Evil

i know its a bit annoying mate .your best bet may be punching the insides of your existing cat out if it looks buggered.that will be the perfect match .

i think mine is gone but as i said i cant be bothered to mess with rusty bolts at the moment as i dont have a plan B if things go pear shaped nor a spare car to take me to work and back ,

you should at least have a go at the bolts schakal just to see, ok maybe theyre corroded in place. But maybe they're not.
