And their supplier is saying they can only do the three bolt flange one.
There is someone selling 16v cats on ebay for about £170 and the picture looks like it's the correct one.
Can anyone recommend any other sources? |

I got a cat from my local factors, just about to fit it and I realise they've supplied me with a three bolt flange one, i.e. an 8v one.
Got on the phone to them and their system is listing the same part for 8v & 16v. They are going to investigate with their supplier on Monday. |

You lucky bug ger to be able to find a mot tester that would do that
what resulst are the readings btw, close to what the manual said?
When i first bought my 33 it was also de-catted, when i went for my mot the garage said it should have a cat, i contacted dvla and they confirmed, so i had to source manifold and cat. I guess the previous owner also knew an mot tester, grrr im jealous |

Hi, my sw is a K reg & did originally have a cat. It's been de catted & has passed its last 2 mot's no probs. The tester just said he gave it a non cat test and coz its a K reg it will be fine.  |

What year is Kreg?
In France you can put a tube on models before 12/1993 and still passes emissions. I presume it's the same in the UK as it's european regs, but I'm not sure. |

Thanks Al, I remember your uber emissions thread well.
Are those figures from your car or from some 'official' source for all 33 16v.
Actually looking underneath it looks like only a 30 minute job to swap them over which opens the possibility of just putting a cat sction in to get through the test. |

| Can a K reg 33 pass an MoT with the Car converter removed (albeit with a box in place that looks like one? |
