So it does. I didn't spot that before!

Thanks TC. I bought this one from fleabay -
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282162696102. Looks the same as the one Mark found in post 3 but delivery included. It should/might arrive today. Naturally, it's chucking it down with rain now.

Drop it to floor and pull it to the left side of the car. Remove the sub frame etc. Then cut the exhaust whilst you have the space to sit at it. Refit the suspension, being careful not to get cut by the exhaust pipe, then fit the exhaust.

How far to the left will it go without damaging the flexible joint (which I still haven't actually seen)?

I bet they would too.
There a slight price difference between cats for the V6 and the 1.8. V6 = £222 and £1.8 = £330 or £176.

Mine looks nothing like the one Rimmers aftermarket V6 pic - mine's a perfect cylinder with no ribs.

How long should they last anyway - i.e. it's 17 yrs old, do I need to change it? Or is there anything to gain by changing it - e.g. better consumption?
