Bugger.
Failed on handbrake efficiency and, most importantly on catalytic convertors/exhaust gas out-of spec. There was a small welding fracture in a joint on the after-market sports cats fitted in 2010 which are supposed to be under "lifetime" warranty. Just contacted the people who fitted them and there might be a problem with the fact that they needed an annual inspection by the company to maintain the warranty.
Just getting the hand-brake adjusted now and thinking about the way ahead for the cats. Probabaly see if welding the crack solves the issues and, if it doesnt, going to see the cat installers.
