I keep meaning to buy one...they are only about 25 quid.

Make sure it's the real McCoy. Emma bought a jewellery cleaner advertised on ebay as an ultrasonic cleaner, and it's got a motor in the bottom with an offset flywheel on it. Vibrates to bu66ery but not exactly ultrasonic, unless that motor revs higher than I think it does.... ::)

Had the light back on the dash and had it checked out and told that the cat, s where showing low efficiency on bank 1 and 2. They then chack the emission at they where fine. Just to check it any one has had this before and if it could be the 02,s playing up as they seem to do on this 3.2 V6. The guy told me that the cats should be good for the life of the car and as it does 95% M way driving and not driven hard.

Any help please.  

Thanks      

I guess it depends on the deemed life of the car according to the manufacturers...  I suppose that 120k, for example, is the kinda expected life....  if fuel has been unburnt at some point (faulty O2 sensor/s) and gone onto the honeycomb matrix, it could have then ignited and shattered the matrix, it will become less efficient and usually smelly...  Knocking them on a speed hump is a favorite too.........
