Urgent Catalytic Convertor Appeal
Hello,
I am the proud owner of a 1993 MK1 Clipper - originally from Germany and hence has a left hand drive. She recently failed her MOT and I told I need a new Catalytic convertor and probe for her to pass. This has been estimated to cost ?750.
I'm am considering wheter she is worth repairing at this expense.
Can anyone help? I am based in Southwest London.
Any help gratefully received

and they can play with the mix to get it through the emmisions test.
i would dump the cat and get it adjusted to pass.
rebuild in progress....

I'm afraid I'm not very technical in such areas - I really want to keep the car but don't have the finance to support it.

Do you provide these parts?

They have given me the serial numbers for each piece of Kit.
The catalytic convertor number is:155253208x
And the probe is 030906265k
I hope there is a way out of this as I really want to keep her!

i dont know what to say as 750 quid is a lot of money mate, i would be tempted to replace it with a standard downpipe and reset everything to run best without cat. has it got an ecu then? its deffo a carb model? if you are willing to take a jaunt up the m1 i will do best i can for you and certainly wont be owt like 750 quid

The lambda probe looks like it attaches to the exhaust manifold and not the cat itself judging by the picture.
The part number you gave for the cat is the downpipe and cat in one piece.
I think you have a rare setup!

The engine type is 2h, the injection system is digifant and it has a digifant control box. It 100% has a probe
He said if I replace the cat with a down pipe the car will not pass it's MOT and it is illegal to do so…..
Any thoughts?
