SORTED!
All done and back on the road.
My local garage sourced an exhaust system back from the CAT. I obtained a CAT and front down pipe from "CATS2u" and an oxygen sensor from "RTG". Great service from both suppliers and according to my garage, everything fitted without modification or effort.
As an added bonus the garage did an MoT as the old one crept into the 4 weeks early test limit whilst the car was with them and despite the lack of any prep work from me, the car passed. So now it has 13 months MoT as well as a complete new exhaust from manifold to tail pipe.
Emissions well within MoT limits but CO is higher than with the original Volvo CAT so will be interesting to see if the replacement lasts the 24 years of the original which I somehow doubt.
Cheers,
LeeP
