However, what it's like next test 🤔 NOS genuine or aftermarket though? the aftermarket ones are crap. Like said above, there’s sod all in the way of metals inside them to be sold that cheap.

Andyrew Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Agreed, 2 maybe 3 years would be good going for a pat cat, But given the low desirabilty level and basement value of the big renault its probably only got a few years left in a non fridge shape form on this planet. if the OG cat does have a good value and potentional "profit" to help with repair costs then thats a lemon id be happy to squeeze. Id rather we cash in that the scum that would steal it. Same as i done with my shabby mazza. sutty2006, tooSavvy, Low Horatio gearbox and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cheap cats are usually ceramic catalyst instead of a lot of precious metals as a catalyst. Different technology. Problem with many of the aftermarket cats is that they have too few elements. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 New bleed nipple effort leaks worse than battered one on the drilled caliper. Replacement caliper time then. the engine sump drain plug is also weeping. That explains the ptfe that was on it. Cars Like bloody a sieve it seems.! Tried to strip the shagged rear caliper down and thats got a seize retaining grub screw.

Andyrew Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Some good news for a change, the new n.s caliper arrived and today i lobbed that on. I also decided to repair the wear lead wires. These had be extended with a length of wire and scotch locks. I found some orange wire and soldered it on and a female connector some heatshrink sees that job jobbed.
