Hi to all, new to the site and in need of help already lol
My Landy has been trouble free for 18 months until I returned from week in New Forest for her to sound like a spitfire - snapped under down pipes under what looks like a small catalytic converter.
All stripped down but where is best to get replacement on a budget.....and any catches I need to look out for?

Sorry....its a baby 1.8 petrol

diesel - go for straight through pipe replacement ie de cat (particular filter)

petrol - go to your local motor factors ie paddocks / euro parts

If your in the south try Southern Exhaust Supplies (SES), or PartCo (fartslow) both supply most of the motor factor around Bristol

If a new one is cheap, replace it but if it's expensive, salvage your old one,
