    Changing De-cat?

    How long and how hard is it to change the de-cat to a cat, can it be done in 30 mins from start to finish inc putting all the tools away?

    How difficult is it and what tools etc will i need?

    Cheers

    Danny

    I spent a day rounding off the rusted bolts, a day sawing them with a junior hacksaw, then wasted a day because renault gave me the wrong size bolts. twats.

    i couldnt remember the thread size i needed, so i figured the parts desk would know. Turns out they didnt.

    They're all greased up, so hopefully will last 9 months before i have to MOT the beast again.
