Well today had its up's and down's.

After starting work at 5am this morning i got finished around 2pm and the started on the clio.
Now a few weeks ago i thought i had a stuffed CAT and i knew i had a blow at the joins so after buying genuine renault parts i set about doing that.

I also fitted my new air box bolts as well as a new pollen filter.

Now i also noticed that the centre exhaust mount is burst and hanging like jo brands tits.
Im now going to order up a new one from renault and het that fitted.

Now the bigger problem is going to cost me....... The CAT itself never actually had a problem but the join itself did.
It has snapped and burst and that was rattling about in the join which made me thing it was the CAT itself.
I have packed the join with high temp gasket sealer and im going to hope it holds up but either way i need a new CAT, second hand CAT or a De-CAT

When i do get a replacement CAT or what ever i will also be buying the fitting kit and the clamp once again to have it all fitted and fixed correctly.

Those airbox bolts are nice touch Marc. Is that your cat sorted now then?
