Sorry for the off topic, but how is the old girl Richard? I do miss her!

And, isn't it time you got a new photo for your signature

I am thinking of following Adrian E example and sending my old two across to Germany for re-packing the Cats. If I am correct Adrian paid circa £900 including posting for the two. I now have two new aftermarket Cats on my car, so can still drive the car. I bought my replacement Cats from Catman in Southampton. Very reasonable price

All good thanks

She's running well. Just had cambelt service, plus have redone all front suspension with OEM and had F125 done. Few small parking dings unfortunately but they will be dealt with in the Summer. Overall she's running like a dream.

I've deleted that photo from my profile. Need to find a new one.

Richard

Default Bump - Cat still for sale

Sorry for the bump but I'm moving house and the cat has to go. Best price gets it by the end of the week gets it. Collection probably best as its a hell of a lump but it is boxed and can be couriered if someone is willing to pay for it to be shipped across.

PM me with a price if you want it.

Thanks

As my S8 gearbox has failed I have been exploring different options of which the most likely is to partially dismantle it and sell some parts including cats and scrap the rest. Most places does not show the prices so I have completed couple of forms and expecting some quotes back, probably on Monday.

Below is the one that shows prices straight away on website https://www.catalyticconverterrecycling.com/

Also a friend of mine is getting the price from his place where he sold his BMW 323 cat for £500 and 525 diesel cat for £100 when 323 got 4.4 transplant and 525 also had auto box failure.
