Chris My 1999 Hotwire car has now had both shields break away at various times. Seems like a design fault.
Speaking of catalysts my car is in dire need of a "standard cat" (ie not a sports special) , I think this is a 400 cell as OEM. Does anyone know of any sources of such items please, the MMC charge is now in excess of £600 apiece and I would rather find something a little more reasonable , even used items considered.
