Thanks loads guys!

Simon's Exhausts passed me on to Semtech Motors in Kirkintilloch, so I'm taking the car in for them to have a look and to quote for 2 sports cats and a cat back system. Any thoughts? They also queried what had caused the cat to fail, so they'll test for that too. But as I had it on PsYcHe's VAG COM last week, would whatever the problem is not have shown up then?

If there were any injector issues or misfires it should have done.

The report from PsYcHe’s VAG COM had faults in 2 areas:

1. Centr. Locks Labels 2 faults
Key 2 adaption limit suppressed
Alarm Horn Internal Supply Voltage

2. Auto trans Labels 2 Faults
Pressure control valve 2: open or short to ground. Intermittent
Pressure control valve 3: open or short to ground. Intermittent

But everything seems to be working OK. Both keys work, the alarm works and the gearbox selector lights/ limp mode was only for a couple of minutes and has been fine now for over 500 miles.

Any ideas?
