Thanks, he's been quoted £150 by an independant plus fitting, is that good?

Unlikely to be Vx at that price, and non Vx do tend to be very noisy....

that price sounds resonable but remember some things are best kepy vauxhall, like oil, and exhausts, maybe cats are the same....check what manufacturer ;)

Bought a centre box from them and it works fine little noisy but nothing major to deal with I would assume the CAT would be the same.

Just my tuppence worth :y

As it failed the MOT on emissions, would cleaning out the breathers and throttle cure the problem, or does it need a new Cat?

As far as I know they have never been done, car has done 147K.

Not sure if they can tell its failed cat - I suspect so from the gas report, though certainly wont harm to cleaning breather system and throttle.

Helped my mate clean out the throttle and breathers today on his Gls, what a job on a 2.0 ltr, nothing like as easy as a 2.2.

Now ticks over at 700 rpm instead of 1100 rpm.

Don't reckon it had ever been done in 147k.

Goes back in for a retest on Saturday after he's fitted a new cat.

New Cat fitted (thanks Andy8), sailed through MOT.
