Hello, Ive just had my car (1998 Corsa 1.0 12v) serviced and my exhaust was blowing, so I took it to kwik fit and they want 273 quid for a new cat, motosave want 188 and the scrappers wants 40 quid.

How easy are these to replace yourself?

Cheers

Right cheers, the guy in the scrappers did say that the 12v had two different types of Cat, and im pretty sure mine is a bit more "segmented" than the one pictured.

Cheers for the help anyway, if anyone can confirm that the 12v uses two different Cats, it would be appreciated.
